Active Science

Share this project

Active Science is an educational project based on the use of the Web and on learning methods characteristic of Inquiry Based Learning.

The project is based on a Web platform specially developed to combine the features of a social network with those of a collaborative work software. The project is mainly based on the educational use of the website by student groups, but it includes three live meetings and debates to be launched at the end of each edition.

The project started in 2009 and since then has presented four different editions on the topics of (1) Energy and Atmospheric pollution, (2) Water, energy and climate change and Stem cells, and (3) Nanosciences and Stem cells, which has been featured twice, due to its success. It has involved 60 researchers, 242 classes, 4,200 students and 150 teachers.

There are three different ways to participate in the project:

  • Adopt the format and develop the project in your country at a local or national level
  • Devise your own experiment in the project format, but with another target group that is not a school
  • If you belong to a University, a Research Centre or, in general, a body used to taking part in European Research Projects or you are part of a European research project that needs dissemination, you can make Active Science part of it, applying it to your themes.

 

If you know of European or national project in STEM education, please let us know.
