About the course

Within this course, you will have the opportunity to explore how STEM subjects can be combined with active learning methodologies to foster inquiry based, student centred learning. At the same time, you will consider how classroom design, digital tools, and collaborative strategies can support these approaches.

The main aim of the course is for participants to gain a clear understanding of how to design and implement STEM activities that promote engagement, creativity, and problem solving skills. The use of the Future Classroom Lab learning zones and scenario tools will support teachers in thoughtful STEM implementation regardless of the subject they teach, as STEM education remains a priority in European schools.

The course combines both hands on activities and background information that will enable teachers to transform their teaching practices into one that promotes active learning. It also facilitates innovative learning environments and the use of relevant educational technology. The course emphasizes collaborative and peer learning through communication and collaboration with a multicultural group of participants, sharing best practices, and reflecting together on classroom practice.
This program is thoughtfully designed for primary and secondary school educators of all backgrounds and educational settings. It aims to empower teachers with the knowledge and skills to inspire future generations and remain at the forefront of STEM education.
All courses are delivered in English, and participants are expected to have at least solid basic skills in English listening and speaking in order to follow instructions and fully engage in the course activities.

"It was very nice for me to meet you, valuable educators, in such an environment. I was very pleased with the content of the course, the instructors' presentations, the physical environment of the course, and the instructors' efforts to help us in every aspect.
