M-STEM – Metaverse-Based STEM Education for a Sustainable and Resilient Future (2023-1-FR01-KA220-SCH-000151516) is a Cooperation Partnership in School Education co-funded by the Erasmus+ Programme of the European Union. The project aims to modernize STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) education by integrating it with cutting-edge Metaverse technologies, offering innovative, immersive, and inclusive learning experiences for both teachers and students.
Objectives
M-STEM seeks to:
-
- Develop and implement a novel educational framework that integrates the use of Metaverse technologies into STEM education.
- Train and empower teachers with the necessary digital and pedagogical skills to use virtual and augmented reality tools in their classrooms.
- Enhance students’ engagement and performance in STEM subjects through interactive, hands-on learning in virtual environments.
- Promote interest in STEM careers among young learners, fostering creativity, problem-solving, and collaboration skills essential for the 21st-century workforce.
Key Results
-
- The main intellectual outputs of the project include:
- The M-STEM Pedagogical Strategy – a comprehensive teaching framework aligning STEM with Metaverse-based learning approaches.
- The M-STEM Curriculum and Training Contents – structured educational materials and professional development modules for teachers.
- The M-STEM VR Simulation App – an interactive Metaverse platform where students can explore, experiment, and apply STEM principles in a virtual setting.
- The M-STEM Policy Recommendation Report – guidelines for policymakers to support the integration of immersive technologies into STEM education systems across Europe.
