Project Summary

The project has been constructed with the coordination of Poland and with the partnership of Turkey, Belgium, Spain and Portugal. The target group of the project is the students of 6-12 aged and teachers of STEM fields.
Scientific and technological innovations have become more and more important in the 21st century because we are facing with the benefits and difficulties of an economy that is based on both globalization and knowledge. It is necessary to raise students’ skills of STEM higher and higher, in order to be successful in this society that is based on knowledge and technology.
During the project, 4 teachers from each school will perform, in total, 80 mobilities.
Astronomy and STEM is the main focus of the project activities. As a result of all activities before and after the joint staff meeting students will gain: methods of workshops, researching, producing and examining and frontal results are creativity, cooperation, critical thinking and solving problems. The project is expecting the following results: Students’ skills of integrating interdisciplines knowledge and practising them in order to connect the theoretical information with the practical one, improving their spirit of potential in innovation, enterpreneurship and creativity. Their experience in STEM and astronomy, will be helpful for them preparing for their studies and career in the future. Students will think more critically by looking at problems in a new way and linking learning across subjects. It will be improved : teachers’ professional capacity, cooperation between stakeholders and schools. STEM education will be planned to be practised in a suitable way for students’ needs and interests in school level effectively by the partner schools. Students will learn the effects of science in our daily life, they’ll discover the incredible world of the space, maths, technology and engineering. Students will gain motivation for having a career in science, maths or technology, developing friendships between the students from different countries, develop their skills of solving problems creatively.
The participants will take part into practical applications of robotic technologies and space researches.
Teachers will have their professional abilities improved as a result of exchanging knowledge with their colleagues in European partner schools.
Exchange of the best practices in European level and experience of sharing knowledge will make participant teachers gain innovative teaching approaches in STEM+Astronomy field. Thus, teaching quality in science field of partner schools will be increased with more equipment. Partner schools will have richer curriculum and more qualified persons in STEM+Astronomy fields.
AstroStem Club will take part into the activities at partner schools. Traditional STEM fair and STEM career day every year will be organised by the partner schools.
In conclusion, students who will register in school in the following years will also be able to gain STEM skills, as students’ knowledge and skills will be sustainable.
