The STEM Discovery Campaigns

The most prominent of the campaigns organized by Scientix, the STEM Discovery Campaign, is a joint international initiative that invites educators, projects, organisations, libraries, schools, universities, youth clubs and all interested stakeholders across Europe and the world to celebrate careers and studies in the fields of STEM.
During the campaign, the participants share their STEM education-related activities on a clickable world map, from where the community can access, and then reproduce, these activities.
Originally a weeklong event, the STEM Discovery Campaign since 2020 runs from the beginning of February to the end of April each year. Aside from a dip at the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic, it has grown dramatically from year to year, as shown in the graph below.

STEM Discovery Week 2016
Scientix supported actively the STEM Discovery Week 2016, an initiative of the STEM Alliance project. As part of its sustainability strategy, Scientix provided support by expanding the information gathered by industry, to public funded projects and teachers in science education, in order to help link public and non-public financed initiatives. Additionally, Scientix helped spread information about the various events, competitions and resources in science education during the STEM Discovery Week. Among those was a webinar, online chat and the STEM4YOU video competition!
