📢 Exciting Milestone Reached in LearnSTEM Project: Learning Platform Nearing Completion

We are thrilled to announce that the LearnSTEM project has reached a significant milestone—the creation of our learning platform is well underway and will soon be online!

This platform will serve as a comprehensive resource for students and educators, offering engaging learning units on critical topics such as climate, pollution, nature, and recycling. These units are designed to foster a deeper understanding of environmental issues and inspire action toward a sustainable future.

While the platform is still in progress, we’re excited to share that it will soon be ready for use. Stay tuned for the official launch, and get ready to explore the world of STEM through the lens of environmental science!

⚛️ STEM and Climate ☀️

Integrating STEM education in schools is essential for addressing climate change. By equipping students with strong skills in science, technology, engineering, and maths, we empower the next generation to develop innovative solutions to environmental challenges. Through hands-on projects and real-world problem-solving, students can learn how to mitigate climate impacts and create a sustainable future. Investing in STEM education is not just about preparing students for the workforce; it’s about equipping them to protect our planet.

👩‍🔬👨‍🔬STEM and Nature: A Wild Learning Adventure! 🌳

Nature is a classroom waiting to be explored!

  • Become a Nature Detective: Discover science secrets in pinecones and build whirlybirds.
  • Math in the Meadow: Count flower petals, create patterns, and estimate tree heights.
  • The Bug Builders: Study spider webs and design mini bridges inspired by nature.

Develop STEM skills, foster a love for nature, and become an environmental steward.

TPM4 in Potenza, Italy ☀️

The partners of LearnSTEM have met in Potenza, Italy, on the premises of EURO-NET on the 26th of June 2024. They have come together to talk about the LearnSTEM Learning Environment.
