Erasmus + KA2: "STEM for all seasons"

Project Duration

September 2016 – February 2019

Project Coordinator

Sonja Šega

5 European countries

This is an international project, involving 5 european schools: from Ireland, Portugal, Greece, Germany and Slovenia.

Industry 4.0 is a revolution in which all the devices produced to this day meet with cyber systems. The impact of the revolution on education should be emphasized. Industry 4.0 is based on Robots, 3D Printers, Drones,Virtual reality. These technologies are the “honey hive” for students and teachers. Industry 4.0 and Robotics help address the growing demand for teaching STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths) in schools. Students will get to understand how these subjects link together.

The overall aim of the project is to increase interest and motivation in the STEM and Robotics subjects, and to encourage our students to become future STEM graduates. Erasmus+ program will provide the international frame that we need. This project will be the dawn for schools to get brightened.

Aim

The overall aim of the project is to raise the levels of attainment in the STEM subjects (Science, Technology, Enginnering and Math) in all of the students of the participating schools. We will laso strive to provide all children within age range of 4 – 12 with access to innovative teaching methodologies in the STEM subjects.
