CHOICE<\/strong><\/a> project was presented by Chiara Venturella<\/strong> of the co-ordinating organisation CESIE<\/a>. CHOICE, which has the same timeframe as our SteamOnEdu for 2020-2021, aims to promote and improve STEM education at schools by designing innovative Open Educational Resources (OERs) collected in a MOOC (Massive Open Online Course) that will increase the professional competences of teachers by equipping them with a STE(A)M approach of teaching.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The main outputs of CHOICE include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Then Evita Tasiopoulo<\/strong>u of European SchoolNet<\/a>, coordinating organisation of the STEA(M) IT<\/strong>, talked about their project, which started a bit earlier than the other two \u2013 in November 2019 and which already has had first results and is preparing to launch their MOOC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n STE(A)M IT<\/strong><\/a> project aims to strengthen the educational landscape by promoting innovative and cross-disciplinary approaches to STE(A)M teaching in education. The outcomes to promote innovative integrated STE(A)M practices at school level include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n STE(A)M IT <\/strong>and STEAMonEdu<\/strong> both strive to define the competences of STE(A)M educators<\/em> by investigating and engaging educators of formal and non-formal education. CHOICE<\/strong> differentiates by taking into account the needs of the students<\/em> in STEM and STE(A)M Education and actively involves them along with educators in Creative Leadership Teams keeping them close to the labour market and STEM\/STE(A)M career oriented approaches during the implementation of the project. Many common elements were also identified under our common goal, and partners discussed how the three projects complement each other. For example, all the three projects will create MOOCs, however, STE(A)M IT MOOC is aimed at educators and starts in October of 2020, SteamOnEdu\u2019s MOOC for educators is planned for 2021, and CHOICE MOOC will address students, so all interested participants will be able to follow all of them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We discussed the outcomes of our projects so far, our very first impressions regarding the future of policy reform in STE(A)M education, and our common findings regarding the continuously arising interest of all education professionals and policy makers across Europe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We also had an extensive conversation on possible future synergies, potential collaboration, and how our projects complement each other something that unites us under the main common goal \u2013 to boost STEAM education!<\/p>\n\n\n\n We look forward to working together! Our highly regarded researchers\u2019 team strongly believes that Team Work makes the Dream Work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Jump with us,<\/strong> let\u2019s make this community larger,<\/strong> enroll to our platform,<\/strong> join our vision!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Stay tuned \u2013 a lot of interesting things are being planned for the near future!<\/p>\n\n\n\n CHOICE \u2013 Increasing young people\u2019s motivation to choose STEM careers through an Innovative Cross-disciplinary STE(A)M approach to education <\/a>is an Erasmus + project, Key Action 3: European Forward Looking Cooperation Projects in the fields of Education and Training.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Read more about CHOICE<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Visit the website<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Follow us on Facebook<\/a>, Twitter<\/a>, Instagram<\/a> and Linkedin<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
