We aimed to increase students’ motivation to learn through practical and interdisciplinary activities, while improving teachers’ professional skills. Our goal was to develop participants’ mathematical, scientific, technological and linguistic competences and to demonstrate the practical relevance of STEM subjects in everyday life. An important objective was also to create lasting educational materials and a publication that could be used by partner and local schools in the future.
We applied for the project to improve the quality of work in participating schools and to develop students’ key competences, especially in science, mathematics and technology. The project responded to the need to increase students’ interest in STEM subjects, which were often perceived as difficult and detached from real life. It also aimed to strengthen international cooperation, develop linguistic and cultural competences, and support students with fewer opportunities.
