An important element of STEAM education that teachers struggle with is the adoption and application of digital technologies. Digital technologies have the potential to enhance social inclusion and student-centred learning, and for this reason it is important for teachers across all levels of schooling to develop skills and confidence in this area (Digital Education Advisory Group, 2013). The aim of this article is to illustrate innovative teaching practices through an integrated STEAM project using Kitsi Blocks (Kitsunei, 2019) as the core digital technology. Kitsi Blocks may be described as a fabrication technology, enabling students to collect digital data for analytical purposes and/or to send data to instruct physical things to move, light up or make sounds. The technology is comprised of physical Kitsi Blocks, which house different electronic components in a small plastic casing, and virtual blocks that build the computational logic in a visual programming system called the Kitsunei Creator. The authors demonstrate a thematic STEAM approach to the ideas of 'beat' and 'rhythm' by describing the integration of science, mathematics, digital technologies and music that is aligned with the Australian Curriculum (ACARA, 2020).
