STIMEY
Description
Raising young people’s interest in studies and careers related to science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (i.e., STEM) is an important societal concern both at European and global level. The objective of the STIMEY (Science, Technology, Innovation, Mathematics, Engineering for the Young) project is to create a hybrid (physical and virtual) learning environment and to form a network of learners, educators, parents and STEM professionals which encourages 10 to 18-year-old children and youth to STEM studies and careers.
The STIMEY learning environment will be a hybrid environment that combines robotics, social media components, gamification and multimedia to support the learning of STEM subjects in everyday life. The learning environment is developed based on a pedagogical framework, which guides the design. The pedagogical design principles include active participation, collaboration, knowledge construction, joy of learning, experiential and inquiry-based learning along with connecting learning with the learners’ out-of-school experiences.
Research is conducted in Spain, Greece, Germany, Finland and Belarus. Ä¢¹½Ö±²¥ is in charge of the development of the pedagogical framework that provides the design guidelines for the learning environment.
