Educate in Science

Improve the student's competences

Improve the student's competences, mainly in communication and science-technology, involve students in their own learning processes through proposals where they become leading characters and responsible.

Innovative learning

Active participation in the common problem-solving processes

Provide the students with innovative learning approaches which involve them directly, thus favouring an active participation in the common problem-solving processes and the creativity, initiative and responsibility of their own work

Encourage the cooperation

Improve the cultural dialogue & increase the employability

Among European countries to improve the cultural dialogue, increase the employability and extend the range of job opportunities.

The need of improving the scientific education & strategic framework

A large number of studies have emphasized a worrying decrease in the interest of young people in science and technology. The Rocard report on Science education states that this lack of interest of young people towards science is due to the way it is taught in schools. In this context, whilst the educational community agrees that the teaching methods based on investigation are more effective, the truth is that in most European classrooms these methods are not always implemented. The need of improving the scientific education has a crucial role in the “Lisbon Strategy”, in the report “Science education for responsible citizenship” (2015) and in the Strategic framework in education and training (ET2020).

We have worked in amazing Skills

Build high profile areas among the STEM, robotics and biotechnology subjects.

The five schools involved in this project include science and technology education, as well as teaching of foreign languages as main goals  of their curricula. Despite the fact that employment opportunities in Europe have been seriously affected by the economic conditions, the demand of skilled science and technology workers with a good language competence and entrepreneurship is still high. Thus, the participating schools aim to educate their students to become active citizens with the skills required to seize the opportunities the future may bring in two high profile areas among the STEM, robotics and biotechnology subjects.

Ideas exchange
Promote and bring students closer to the most innovative fields of the maker movement: robotics and biotechnology. Open Hardware, Open Software and emerging biotechnology allow students to acquire new skills that are still to be included in the scientific-technological competence of a secondary school student and necessary for the future active citizen.
Create and design tools to build a low-cost biotechnology laboratory that can be replicated in other secondary schools, thanks to the experience with the Genspace program Evaluate the tools built for the biotechnology laboratory with a reference laboratory.
