STEM Education:
from school to a tech world
STEM specialists are the most needed in the labour market nowadays
Europe’s future heavily relies on technology and related sciences. As a result, the next decades will witness an increasing demand for people with relevant skills to meet this challenge. In the field of education, Europe is therefore facing the urgent need of attracting enough people interested in science (S), technology (T), engineering (E) and mathematics (M) related fields of study and subsequent professions.
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.
