Sharing Inspiration 2017: Igniting Serious STEM Education

Brussels, March 24-26, 2017

Basic understanding of the principals of “Coding” and “Making” are critical elements of proper modern STEM education and as important as a solid foundation in math and science education. Afternoon courses or special classes might be a good first step, even more effective and sustainable are deep integration in curricula and exams. The participants discussed various multi-and interdisciplinary approaches derived from classroom experiences.
