▶Objectives
Develop an innovative methodology for implementing research performed by robotic boats. Provide teacher competence development in order to ensure the sustainability of the methodology in partner organizations and beyond. Engage 13-19 year old students in learning activities that stimulate creativity, develop technological, personal and social skills and enhance interest in STEAM. Disseminate the project results at local, regional, national and European levels and across a variety of sectors.
▶Activities
Project partners will jointly develop the methodology and pilot it with target group students and teachers. Research will be implemented in order to measure the methodology’s quality and impact on skill development. Apart from the learning activities at the local level, a transnational teacher training event and a students’ hackathon will take place. Dissemination and sustainability actions will include a range of activities and national seminars in each partner country.
▶Impact
An innovative, highly adaptable and transferrable methodology, validated in 4 countries, will be delivered. At least 300 target group students will gain multidisciplinary knowledge and important personal, interpersonal and communication skills by taking part in the pilot course. At least 30 teachers from partner organizations and 120 teachers from other schools will obtain new knowledge related to the produced methodology and the application of student-centered pedagogies.
