JUGAAD is a dynamic project focused on upskilling teachers and supporting students in integrating a STEM approach into their educational journey. The project is driven by the belief that STEM education fosters critical thinking, problem-solving skills, and prepares students for future challenges.

Objectives of JUGAAD:  

• Promote and disseminate the STEM approach among teachers and students, emphasizing interdisciplinarity, transdisciplinarity, experiential learning, and problem solving. 

• Develop digital skills of teachers and students, enabling them to apply these skills across various subjects and areas. 

• Support teachers in their regular activities by providing concrete tools and resources through engaging workshops. 

• Foster an assessment framework that evaluates functional and motivating skills, creating an engaging learning experience for students. 

• Develop open educational resources (OER) that are free, multilingual, and open for further development. 

• Establish links between workshop learnings and specific reference frameworks, such as DigCompEdu, DigComp2.0, and the framework proposed by the "STEAM on Edu" Erasmus+ project. 

• Design workshops that stimulate students, including those with low attention spans, by moving beyond traditional frontal or monodisciplinary teaching. 

• Bridge the gender gap in STEM education, ensuring equal opportunities for all students.
