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:

1. Do non-formal learning workshops contribute to the engagement of learners, inside & outside the workshop?
2. How much do they contribute?
3. Can we measure such questions?

We think we can and are taking steps in trialling important educational tools that will be created during the SySTEM 2020 project to help answer such questions. Introducing, the SySTEM 2020 engagement tracker, which aims to improve our ability to capture how far informal and non-formal learning experiences extend into young learner's everyday world (on public transport, in museums or at home). Recently ZSI - Centre for Social Innovation and Kersnikova met up to iterate and discuss this product further. This tool will be adapted and tested in the coming months with young learners from across Europe, allowing us to visualise engagement paths forming comparable contextual learning landscapes.
