ABOUT THE PROJECT
“Bio-Inspired STEM topics for engaging young generations thanks to the use of Augmented reality” is a project supported by the European Commission through the Erasmus+ program, Key Action 2 – Strategic Partnerships for school education.
The project aims to be the follow up of the Bios4You project (2019-1-DE03-KA201-060125) Erasmus plus KA2 – school sector, implemented by the most of the consortium and ended in 2022, thanks to the great work and cooperation done. You can find more info about he previously completed project in this page.
The partners involved have already got a wide experience in STEM and augmented reality technology and gamification. They have implemented different projects that are related to them.
It lasts 30 months 01-12-2023 / 31-05-2026
OBJECTIVES
The objectives of BioS4You AR 2.0 are:
- To sensitise young students to STEM issues related to Bio-Sciences, Bio-Engineering, Bio-Architecture, Bio-Technology, Bio-Photonics, etc.
- To create innovative teaching materials through the use of Augmented Technology (Augmented Reality).
- To make learning more engaging for students and teacher by using new types of technology.
ACTIVITIES
The BioS4You activities are:
- Development of methodologies and guidelines for using Augmented Reality (AR) technology in STEM education with Gamified content.
- Updating existing units with AR exercises. Then, Create 42 new units in English incorporating Augmented Reality and gamification. Test the units in schools through organised Learning Training Teaching Activities.
- Organization and implementation of 4 international webinars to present project results and promote the use of the methodology among a wider school network.
RESULTS
