The GIGS project International Multiplier will be held at the University of Nicosia starting at 10.30 on Thursday May 16th and ending by 15.00 on the following day. Delegates are expected from the partnership countries (UK, Sweden, Poland and Cyprus) but the event is open to educational professionals from across the wider EU. The project can pay a small subsidy of 200 euros to the first 20 delegates from outside of Cyprus and 20 euros to delegates from Cyprus itself. It promises to be an exciting event that will both tell the story of the project and also provide delegates with practical ideas to take home. We hope the event will encourage teaching about global issues anchored to the Sustainable Development Goals that motivates girls to become more involved in STEM and also to become active global citizens. The programme is still at the planning stage but we anticipate the following sessions:
Embedding Global Goals in the curriculum
Benefits of using real world context in STEM teaching
Resources available to support that approach
Chance to try a hands on activity developed during our GIGS project …'Ditch the Dirt'
Coding and drones with a global context
Using drones in STEM investigations
Creating an eBook
Collecting digital assets; students as eBook authors
Gender issues in the context of the Global STEM Challenges
Case study - through the eyes of the students
What does the research tell us?
The results of the systematic literature review - what does motivate girls to take up STEM subjects?
