Description:<br />
The main objective of this project is to foster the interest and take-up of science<br />
and technology among the European students from 12 to 18 years old. The project<br />
aims at increasing the motivation of students to study science and technology, and<br />
to contributing to the improvement and development of key competences. The project<br />
is working on creation of specific teacher training methods and programmes,<br />
addressed to current and future science and technology teachers.<br />
The STIMULA project encourages the active involvement of the world of work<br />
(universities, research and innovation centres and companies) in educational<br />
activities. The core of the project focuses on designing, implementing and validating<br />
new educational initiatives. The project is testing diverse curriculum extending<br />
initiatives, aimed at fostering students' interest in science and technology and their<br />
entrepreneurial spirit. The gap between schools and the world of work is bridged<br />
through different networking models established between them.<br />
