The webinar took place in the Scientix online meeting room on 29 March 2018 at 17:00 Central European Time.

Webinar outline:
Starting with a short introduction to the educational principles of the STEM@School pedagogy, the presenters illustrate how these principles were implemented in STEM@School modules. The key idea is augmenting the relevance of STEM by paying a lot of attention to the mutual integration of the different STEM disciplines.In a dynamic format the webinar will offer schools a roadmap to implement STEM@School and thus challenge students from the 9th-11th grade for STEM disciplines. The presenters will highlight some of the scientific results of the STEM@School project. Finally they will discuss the prerequisites and possible constraints for a successful implementation of the STEM@School.
