The STEAM activities proposed within this project align perfectly with the educational initiatives of the “Alternative Week” and “Green Week” programs, offering high school and midlle school students practical and interactive experiences that creatively complement the learning process in school.
The “Science close to you: We explore, We learn, We inspire!” project aims to make science accessible and exciting for all, through a series of educational and interactive activities. The main goal is to stimulate curiosity, develop critical thinking and inspire younger generations to embrace the STEAM fields (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Mathematics).
Through engaging experiments, creative presentations, thematic visits and hands-on workshops, the project encourages the active participation of middle and high school students. Complex scientific concepts will be transformed into tangible and easy-to-understand experiences, highlighting the connection between science and everyday life.
With the support of specialists in the field and passionate teachers, the project will create an inclusive educational environment, designed to inspire discovery and innovation. Activities will include interesting lectures, spectacular practical demonstrations, thematic visits and science communication competitions designed to stimulate students’ creativity and desire to learn.
“Explore, Learn, Inspire!” is not just a motto, but a mission that aims to bring science closer to each of us, making it part of the life and future of the community.
The project PN-IV-P10-SS-SC-2024-0036 entitled “Science close to you: We explore, we learn, we inspire!” is addressed to students in middle school (respectively grades V-VIII) and high school (respectively grades IX-XII), as well as to teachers from schools and high schools in Bucharest and Ilfov County and has the following objectives:
- Stimulating students’ interest in STEAM disciplines and experiential learning.
- Developing critical thinking and problem-solving skills among students.
- Creating a collaborative environment between students, teachers and researchers.
