Policy discussions with Scientix®: Expanding the classroom experience with Virtual Reality and STE(A)M Learning Ecologies
In October 2025, the Scientix® Ministries of Education STEM Working Group closed meeting explored the impact of introducing Virtual Reality, Open Schooling and STE(A)M education in the classroom.
At its core, Scientix®helps rethink classroom practices to make them suitable for 21stcentury students. Through EC and privately funded projects and pilots, we support and optimise the inclusion of new technologies and pedagogies in teaching, seeking the most impactful way of supporting education with tools like Virtual Reality (VR) and practices like Open Schooling.
During the 2025 October meeting of the Scientix Ministries of Education (MoE) STEM Working Group, we introduced and discussed the results of two initiatives that sought to expand the classroom experience to make learning more engaging and relevant for students: Smart Connected Classroom Pilot (Phase 3), funded by Qualcomm®, and the EU funded project STE(A)M Learning Ecologies (SLE).
We thank the Ministries of Education STEM Representatives from: Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Finland, Flanders (Belgium), Luxembourg, Malta, Poland, Portugal, Spain, Switzerland and Türkiye for their participation and contributions.
