Project Summary

STEM acronomy comes from the first letters of Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics. As is known STEM practices in very different countries all over the world, providing multidisciplinary learning, the favorite subject in recent years and takes roots from The USA as competing in a global economy that demands innovation. We are 6 schools from 5 different countries made contact with each other via E-Twinning and Scıentıx platforms and we noticed that there was no European standards on our teaching systems by using STEM. We decided to build the project to make STEM education standard among these 6 schools to exchange good and innovative practices among all partners, to clarify the strenghts and weaknesses of each school. We’r from UK, Spain, Italy, Grecee and Turkey. Thanks to our Project;
