The second Students Learning event, " Traffic and parking management”, took place from 13 to 17 January 2025 at Secondary Maia School in Maia, Portugal, and gathered students from partner schools for a week of collaborative STEAM learning focused on sustainability, digital innovation, and real-world problem solving related to traffic and parking management. Students worked in international teams using inquiry-based methods and digital tools like the micro:bit to design and implement projects with low-cost, environmentally friendly materials. These projects integrated scientific and technological knowledge across STEM areas and encouraged creativity, critical reasoning, computational thinking, and artistic expression. The training promoted interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary approaches from multisensory perspectives, enabling students to develop innovative solutions to complex challenges. Throughout the week, students presented their work, engaged in peer evaluations, and participated in educational visits to sites such as the Faculty of Science in Porto, the World of Discoveries Museum, the Porto Tram Museum, Torre do Lidador, and the INESC TEC Robotic Center. These experiences enriched their understanding of science, technology, and local culture, while fostering international collaboration. The training concluded with students preparing and presenting a digital diary summarizing their learning journey. This event successfully empowered students to actively engage in their education, apply digital technology to real problems, and collaborate across borders, supporting the

project’s aims of educational innovation and digital transformation
