Abstract: Between 2017 and 2019, Experience Workshop Global STEAM Network coordinated the Poly-Universe in School Education (PUSE) Erasmus+ project in Finland. In this article, we describe an example of a symmetry education school project, which was carried out in a Finnish lower secondary school with Poly-Universe Toolkit. In addition, the article provides a brief summary of the applicability of Poly-Universe Toolkit in a Finnish elementary, lower and upper secondary school context, based on the experiences we have gained in the PUSE project. Finally, we introduce Poly-Universe Toolkit in informal educational activities provided for adults in Finland.
