ARTIFEX

Share this project

The ARTIFEX project is designed to bridge the gap between the (local) labour market and education by establishing a practical European framework for STEM education in innovative out-of-the-classroom learning environments such as Fablabs or Makerspaces.

ARTIFEX is an ERASMUS+ strategic partnership for school education that is designed to set up a practical European framework for STEM education in innovative out-of-the-classroom learning environments such as Fablabs or Makerspaces. A Fablab or Makerspace is a small-scale workplace where you can manufacture products using modern technologies such as 3D printers and laser cutters.

ARTIFEX aims to:

  • Provide transparent and easily accessible information on contemporary competences required from engaged STEM workers in the current and future European labour market and society.
  • Provide and disseminate new contents, tools and pedagogical approaches (access to new learning resources) in the context of FabLabs and encourage the transfer of these approaches to similar open community spaces (Maker Spaces, Hackerspaces, Techshops, etc.), specifically open access online professional development tool.
  • Develop and disseminate a self-assessment tool structured around key areas of teachers’ and educators’ teaching for STEM competencies.
  • Identify and promote examples of European good practices (transferability) which are embedded in national curricula.
