Abstract:
To support teachers in developing future STEM skills for students, the Schools Tune Into Mars (STIM) project aimed to improve the effectiveness and quality of teaching science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) disciplines at the secondary level. By providing pedagogical materials with high-quality inspirational lessons related to planetary seismology as well as adequate guidance
we aim to increase young students knowledge and interest in STEM education. STIM is a project that brings together a network of schools and organizations with an interest in Earth and Space education and studies related to the planet Mars. To achieve all these goals several complementary blocks of activities have been developed: a programmatic document elaborated based on the STIM resources supported by a study aiming to assess the need and opportunity of STIM resources for teachers; a pedagogical guide to support the use of resources from space missions in classrooms; a Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) entitled “bring Mars missions into the classroom” which provides online training to teachers in order to use innovative teaching materials related to Mars space missions in classrooms and a report with recommendations for the creation of a Mars-Edu network to set the scene for an innovative and long-term collaborative network on space education related to Mars missions.
