Ecsite is looking for an individual consultant or a company to work with us in producing a two-minute+ animated video for the EU project SySTEM 2020.
Over the past two years SySTEM 2020 has been carrying out a two-year longitudinal survey to investigate individual STEAM learning ecologies of young learners between age 9 and 20. Overall, this longitudinal survey illustrates persisting inequalities in science learning based on age, gender and educational capital. Full report available now.
Learning can be directed by many external influences – social, economic, locality, and mood. To assess this, SySTEM 2020 used the Experience Sampling Method and has produced a how-to guide for other researchers or practitioners to use.
In February, SySTEM 2020 met up in Belgrade, Serbia to discuss and collaborate on new ideas for the project. As part of this meeting, SySTEM 2020 partners began trialling one of our new tools - zines - as a means for constructing learning portfolios with young learners from across Europe.
Over the past few months, partners from SySTEM 2020 have been structuring, honing and finessing their online engagement strategy. Here we showcase some programmes from four of the partners within the project.
The keen-eyed amongst you may have seen SySTEM 2020's emergence on this year's Ecsite Conference stage. SySTEM 2020 claimed that they have made the conference an even sweeter opportunity for professionals who engage audiences with science and technology.
SySTEM 2020 is hitting the new year running by taking steps towards answering key questions that will help us generate an in-depth look at science learning in the non-formal sector:
The Ecsite conference is a yearly held science engagement conference open to all professionals who engage audiences with science and technology. It’s a conference offering “an intense mix of intellectual stimulation, purposeful and creative sessions and inspiring human encounters”. A conference of five days that pushes science professionals to join forces in shaping answers to the “Echoes from the future”, which is the theme of the next Ecsite conference held in Ljubljana, Slovenia, on 11-13 June 2020.
The recent release of SySTEM 2020's newsletter covers the latest updates and tools from the informal and non-formal learning world. This new SySTEM 2020 instalment showcases:
Around 65% of a child’s development is due to the activities and experiences they engage with outside of the school classroom. This alone demonstrates the importance of the work SySTEM 2020 is pursuing – to assess the delivery and impact of science learning outside the classroom. One of the ways SySTEM 2020 aimed to achieve this was by mapping initiatives that provide science learning outside the classroom across 19 countries in Europe.
