STEM Education:
from school to a tech world
STEM specialists are the most needed in the labour market nowadays
In Tallinn, the group had some workshops and lessons at the Tallinn University of Technology, and at TKK University of Applied Sciences. There were also visits to the Energy Discovery Center and the Estonian Maritime Museum.
The project programme also included activities in the city of Tartu, namely at the Estonian University of Life Sciences and at the Estonian Science Centre AHHAA.
The STEM approach for learning and teaching encourages the blending of knowledge that is required in the real world and natural curiosity. It promotes cross-cutting, ‘transversal’ skills such as digital skills, critical thinking, problem-solving, management, team work and entrepreneurship. It also promotes cooperation with non-academic partners and responds to economic, environmental, political and social challenges.
With our project, the project partners will cooperate with high education institutions and representatives from the world of work to promote students´ interest and excellence in science, technology, engineering and mathematics. Partners will develop and implement teaching materials based on real experience, practical knowledge and schools’ best practices.
