SySTEM2020


Connecting Science Learning Outside The Classroom

VISIT PROJECT SITE

ROLE OF THE INSTITUTE FOR DATA SCIENCE


Science communication: research participant recruitment, data collection, mapping STEAM initiatives in Switzerland. STEAM stands for Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, Mathematics

Project lead at I4DS: Hanna Sathiapal

The project takes place at Raumschiff – the Maker-Space for Astronomy

Partners: international consortium around Ecsite, the European network of science centres and museums

Funding: EU Horizon 2020
EU project description

Duration: 2018-2021


Keywords: science communication, STEAM, informal learning

       

SUMMARY

This project focuses on science learning outside the classroom, mapping the field across Europe and evaluating a number of transdisciplinary programmes to design best principles for educators in this field. It will also examine individual learning ecologies to gain a better understanding of how learning in informal settings works. Target group: children and teenagers between 9 and 20 years.

About this Website

The Astroinformatics and Heliophysics Group is an interdisciplinary research group at the FHNW Institute for Data Science: data scientists, computer scientists, engineers, physicists in the domains of solar- and astrophysics and science communicators. We contribute to some of the big international space and astronomy endeavours by the European Space Agency ESA, their American counterpart NASA or through the European research programme Horizon2020. We are also interested in clever small and low-cost projects that allow studying the Universe with limited resources.
