SySTEM2020
Connecting Science Learning Outside The Classroom
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
Start: 2018
Status: ongoing
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.
