Supporting the continuation of teaching STEM subjects during the COVID-19 pandemic through project-based online practices.

Our Goals

BeReady is designed to help with:

→ developing resources for teachers to support them in creating meaningful online learning experiences in STEM

→ building confidence in carrying out online STEM projects

→ continuing offering students opportunities to explore STEM disciplines and stimulate their interest in STEM even when schools are closed

→ enabling teachers to act as designers of digital educational content and open educational resources (OER) in STEM for online teaching

→ planning and enacting activities and workshops that promote teacher professional development and pedagogical change towards online STEM teaching

→ building synergies among schools, academia and research towards ensuring the quality of the developed OER and the wider uptake in school communities
