MeJ Makers

Unlock the full potential of STEM education with the MeJ Makers Project! This innovative maths research workshop for high school students is your gateway to integrating STE(A)M principles through engaging, project-based learning.

Description

The MeJ Makers project is an Eramus+ small-scale partnership in school education (2023-2-FR01-KA210-SCH-000176068).

These approaches encourage students to apply their knowledge in practical contexts and explore their interests and passions within STE(A)M.

The maths research workshop for high-school students is an excellent opportunity for implementing STE(A)M education as teachers may employ project-based learning across each of the five disciplines (science, maths, technology, arts, engineering).

The objectives we want to achieve are:

1. To develop students' critical thinking and problem-solving skills by engaging them in learning STEM disciplines holistically during the maths research workshops.

2. To support maths and science teachers to add Technology & Engineering to their STEM activities by enhancing maths research through adding digital tools and transforming it into a STE(A)M activity.

3. To exchange ideas, experiences, materials, and cross-cultural practices among teachers and among students.

The main outcome/ result of our project is to have an STE(A)M course included in both partner schools' curriculum (the maths research workshop) with a multifaceted approach that engages students, fosters curiosity, and provides opportunities for digital learning.
