Mediterranean Regional STEAM Astronomy Summer School  

This Summer School is organized in the framework of the I-OAE Office activities for the Mediterranean countries. It will mainly involve members of NAEC teams in the Mediterranean area but other interested teams/educators are also welcome to participate. 

The school will focus on the following topics:

• The use of specific astronomy instruments and data in the classroom

• Innovative techniques for teaching astronomy with data

• Strategies for incorporating real astronomical data into curriculum

• Techniques for adapting data to different levels of education

• Assessment and evaluation of data-driven instruction

The school will be arranged in two parts:

Part I: Sharing best practices in astronomy education where participants will be sharing their astronomy educational resources and/or hands on activities.

Part II: STEAM-MED Co-design Workshop where participants  will be involved in co-design activities, to test and to tailor new STEAM Astronomy educational resources. 

Mediterranean NAEC team members may apply for travel and/or boarding grants to attend this summer school. There is a limited number of grants, but we will try to support a workshop as inclusive as possible.
