STEM Alliance - inGenious education & industry
The STEM Alliance – inGenious Education and industry, brings together Industries, Ministries of Education and education stakeholders to promote Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths (STEM) education and careers to young Europeans and address anticipated future skills gaps within the European Union.
The STEM Alliance builds on the success of the inGenious initiative (2011-2014) to strengthen the links between STEM education and careers, by involving schools throughout Europe.
With the support of major industries and private partners, the STEM Alliance activities promote STEM jobs in all industrial sectors and contribute to build a highly skilled STEM workforce. The STEM Alliance joins forces to improve and promote existing industry-education initiatives in STEM education (at national, European and global levels) and contributes to innovation in STEM teaching at all levels of education.
Basic information
One of the building blocks of the STEM Alliance is ”Scaling up through knowledge-building and collaboration”, which are activities that provide extensive, evidence-based analysis, on strategic issues in STEM education, published under the: “STEM Alliance Knowledge Observatory of STEM Trends in Education”.
Major publications released by the STEM Alliance are available on the project’s website here.
Headmasters, teachers and career counsellors help STEM Alliance reach out to students, to motivate and inspire learners to pursue STEM school subjects and jobs. STEM Alliance brings representatives of schools and industries together through collaborative actions and introduces innovative practices in STEM education, where STEM content is put into context with real-life situations that are more accessible to young people across Europe. Instruction and advice is provided at online webinars and forums carried out by STEM Alliance, through international contests, face-to-face training seminars, and Europe-wide events that invite people to share their knowledge, activities, etc. For more information, visit this page here: http://www.stemalliance.eu/schools.
STEM Alliance also aims at helping as many young people as possible to better understand the relevance of STEM education in daily life and the potentials it offers to people’s career development, providing resources for teachers to integrate career development in their curriculum.
