We have implemented this project to achieve several objectives: Facilitate the integration of co-creation in STEM learning: Thanks to the pedagogical e-book and the toolbox composed of 3 modules and 9 sub-modules totaling 32 videos, 24 infographics and 9 quizzes, we wanted to diversify and enrich the pedagogical content to help students and teachers better understand STEM subjects. Stimulate student and teacher engagement: The aim was to make learning more interactive and attractive, by actively involving students in creating content and organizing exhibitions. Offer practical resources: With a phygital guide, we provided information, advice and sources to help teachers and students integrate these innovative pedagogical approaches. Introducing an innovative teaching method: Using student co-creation of exhibits, we aimed to make STEM learning more collaborative and active. Thus, our main objective was to introduce an innovative pedagogical method for teaching STEM by actively involving students and making learning more accessible and engaging.
We applied to this project in response to the urgent need to integrate STEM education into teacher training with a focus on eco-numerical skills, exhibitions, and co-creation. In the face of environmental challenges and technological advances, it's essential to equip teachers with innovative, interdisciplinary approaches. We identified several needs: a lack of training on integrating STEM into education in an engaging way, a lack of adapted and accessible teaching resources, and the need to harmonize educational practices on a European scale. The project aimed to transform STEM education by integrating interactive methods that foster student engagement and teacher skills development. Through the co-creation of exhibitions, the use of digital tools and the implementation of the Phygital Guide, STEM Virtual Toolkit and E-book, teachers were given access to concrete resources for adapting their teaching to today's challenges. Interdisciplinary collaboration between researchers, teachers and artists has enriched educational practices and stimulated students' interest in science.
