Regional Science Center - RaSTEM
City of Šibenik ·Croatia
About this project
<p>The project aims to establish synergy between the formal and non-formal education, by developing three programmes for both teachers and students in climate change, robotics and enterpreneurship. The programmes will be developed by project partners Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Croatian Robotics Association, which will also provide trainings for teachers from 7 primary scools in Šibenik area, including a shool from island area. Teachers will then implement the developed programmes in their respective schools, for their students. Trainings will be also provided and adapted for special needs class in Primary school Juraj Dalimatinac, contributing to their inclusion in the school system. The ultimate goal will be the development of "RaSTEM " centre, which will be located at 8 locations: in the Incubator of the City of Šibenik (TROKUT ltd.) and 7 primary schools. All schools will be equipped for implementing the three programmes with robot sets and other equipment. On school will host a STEM garden, and a STEM park, for all schools in the area to use. TROKUT ltd. will host the central location - a fully equipped STEM space where developed programmes and new activities will be organised and hosted for the gravitating schools in the area, long after the project implementation - providing support for STEM teaching for talented students in the wider Šibenik area.</p>
Bilateral cooperation results
Bilateral immediate result (Output) 1. Supported bilateral cooperation The project partner was "Oslo Metropolitan University" from Norway, with which the Partnership Agreement was signed. The project proposal itself enabled networking, exchange, strengthening of cooperation, exchange and transfer of knowledge, technology, experiences and best practices between applicants and organizations in donor countries. Oslo Metropolitan University, together with its partner the University of Zagreb and the Croatian Robotics Association, focused its work on the project on the creation and development of programs for elementary schools in the STEM field, provided support and consulting for the creation of programs in robotics and climate change, and he also audited the aforementioned programs. With the aim of exchanging experience and transfer of good practice, a study trip to Norway was held with the aim of better transfer on knowledge. The cooperation with OsloMet was extremely successful and the contribution to the result was successfully made. The teachers also participated in the THINK FUTURE conference, where different topics from three sectors of entrepreneurship were covered over the course of three days Topics included - how to use AI in everyday work, how technologies have affected the maritime sector and how to achieve green and sustainable manufacturing. The conference was held from 11-13.2024 in Šibenik Incubator Trokut .
