POLAND:

TOPIC "STEM (Science,Technology,Engineering and Mathematics)"-Explore different techniques and understand what STEM/STEAM/STREAMS is all about. Insight look on case studies and practical exercises on how to incorporate STEAM teaching in current curriculum and different age groups. Class Management tools and 21 century student centric classroom approaches were discussed, science experiments were done.
      During this staff training event teachers became students and students became teachers – as the project says "Learning by Doing" - the teachers felt like the students trying to learn Maths, Science in Polish.

The groups of students instead, had a chance to see how teaching looks like. The profits were valuable for both sides. The teachers decided which lessons are the best, how to learn easier or faster  and what they should not do, what the students feel in some kind of situations. On the other hand, students were proud they can teach as well and be a responsible teachers, experiencing how demanding the teaching process is. 

Skills in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) are becoming an increasingly important part of basic literacy in today's knowledge economy. To keep Europe growing, we will need one million additional researchers by 2020. Yet science education can no longer be viewed as elite training for future scientists or engineers; only science-aware citizens can make informed decisions and engage in dialogue on science-driven societal issues.

We need to find how to attract more students to science and technology to address the future skills gap that Europe is facing.
