– Plan interdisciplinary science projects.
– Design and conduct practical science experiments.
Lesson 4: Technology and Engineering in STEM
– Differentiate the roles of technology and engineering in STEM.
– Create and execute technology-based STEM projects.
– Apply engineering principles to solve real-world STEM challenges.
Lesson 5: Mathematics in STEM
– Emphasize the importance of mathematics in STEM.
– Design and implement applied mathematics projects.
– Solve mathematical problems in various STEM contexts.
Objectives and learning outputs
Each lesson includes practical activities, discussions, and projects that will empower you to immediately apply what you’ve learned in your own teaching environment. By the end of the course, you will have developed a rich toolkit of STEM teaching strategies and a deep understanding of how to foster STEM skills in your students.
The educational programme will be re-organised accordingly to the professional needs of our partners. All courses proposed will pass through an accurate assesment of needs, goals and learning outputs. This process will be enhanced before every partnership request as the daily schedule.
