Abstract [eng] Globalization and sustainable development requires shifting education targets from acquisition of structures knowledge to the mastery of skills. Robot-aided learning can used as a tool of creativity in AHSS (Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences) classes thus attracting the attention of learners to cross-disciplinary subjects with elements of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics), which is expanded to STEAM (STEM + All). The presented FASTER pedagogical framework is based on the combination of project-based teaching, educational robotics and team based learning for achieving educational aims and supporting creativity in class. We describe the practical use of the framework in a university course, with specific examples of student projects. Finally, we discuss the educational implications of the framework and beyond.
