​How can we encourage young people to pursue careers in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM)? How can STEM subjects be taught in new ways? The CHOICE project takes a multidisciplinary and collaborative approach to STEM education by involving students, teachers, and company representatives in the creation of STEM-based Open Educational Resources (OER).

The Online Round Table Discussion "The Use of Digital Tools and Their Impact on STEM Education" that was co-organized by GrantXpert Consulting and the Western Greece Regional Directorate of Education on 12th April 2022 was a huge success!

Η εκδήλωση διοργανώνεται από την GrantXpert Consulting και την Περιφερειακή Διεύθυνση Εκπαίδευσης Δυτικής Ελλάδας, με την υποστήριξη του Ευρωπαϊκού Πανεπιστημίου, στα πλαίσια του ευρωπαϊκού έργου CHOICE και του ALL DIGITAL WEEKS.

The CHOICE MOOC (Massive Open Online Course) is an e-learning platform that promotes the STE(A)M approach to STEM education. This approach is based on constructive interaction between STEM and nonSTEM subjects with the objective of increasing young people’s interest in STEM and their motivation to choose STE(A)M careers.

How to teach STEM subjects to make them intriguing for high school students? How to combine multiple STEM and non-STEM disciplines in one lesson while offering students a hands-on experience? The CHOICE project is launching a Massive Open Online Course with 20 digital-based Open Educational Resources co-developed by teachers, students and experts from business and academic field.

The CHOICE team would like to share with you the 1st newsletter describing what has happened during the past 14 months and what's happening now!

On January 13, the project partners met at their third meeting which marked the conclusion of the research and preparatory phase and launched the work on the reforming STEM curricula through co-creation of innovative OERs and the CHOICE MOOC.

As part of the development of a Framework to reform STEM curricula, CHOICE partners have translated the State-of-the-Art study in French, Italian, Greek and Spanish, which compares the research results of each partner country laying the basis for the design process of our Open Education Resources on STE(A)M approaches. The study's accompanying Reflective Practice Case-study Compendium is also translated in all 5 languages.

Work continues for the CHOICE partners, who met virtually for their 2nd Coordination Meeting on 29th September.

The CHOICE team has identified existing initiatives to reform STEM education, contributing to close the skill mismatch in the current labour market and best practices, published in a new State of the Art Study Report [...]. 

The Kick-off Meeting of the CHOICE – Increasing young people’s motivation to choose STEM careers through an Innovative Cross-disciplinary STE(A)M approach to education project was held on February 20th and 21st in Palermo, Italy.

Representatives from three Erasmus Plus projects (CHOICE, STE(A)M IT & STEAMonEdu) joined a very successful clustering session held as part of the STEAMonEdu project on the 25th of June 2020.
