Abstract

STEM4you(th) seeks to produce a comprehensive, mulIdisciplinary series of courses presenIng key STEM discipline challenges to support young people, primarily high school students aged 14-‐19, formal and informal educaIon. The content will be organized around: MathemaIcs, Physics, Astronomy, Chemistry, Engineering and Medicine.

Abstract The scope and tangible results are: 1.  A mulIdisciplinary guide developed for different

exploitaIon channels 2.  Methodologies and tools tailored to present the

scienIfic challenges in an a`racIve way (learning by experiment, gamin, ciIzen science at schools)

3.  RecommendaIons on STEM learning best pracIces and formal school curricula (input to the EU policy)

WP3 CiIzen Science at School The general objecIve of this WP is to pilot the introducIon of CiIzen Science concepts and methodologies at school, as a complementary method to the producIon of new contents.

ParIcipatory pilot research projects will be built together with school boys and girls on: human mobility and decision making. The research approach will involve young boys and girls in all the steps of a research project: 1.  the original idea, the design of the experiment, 2.  the preparaIon and logisIcs of the experiment, 3.  the experiment itself, 4.  the treatment of the data and the model/conclusions drawing.
