Share your integrated teaching practices and/or show us how you addressed STEM Career topics in class through the STE(A)M IT Competitions!
Integrated teaching practices competitions for primary and secondary
Working with other teachers makes the lessons more interesting and connected to real-life to students and your work more meaningful. Teaching in an integrated way STEM or even STEM with any other subject reflects like more accurately (and shows we need to work together to obtain the greatest achievements).
Share your integrated teaching practices through the STE(A)M IT competitions for primary (competition 1: 4 – 12 years old) and secondary (competition 2: 13 – 18 years old). Three strands available:
Stream 1: Submit a new Learning Scenario on Integrated STEM Teaching using the STE(A)M IT Template;
Stream 2: Submit a new Learning Scenario on Integrated STEM Teaching using the STE(A)M IT Template tried out with students (i.e. submit your Learning Scenario and a Story of Implementation explaining how it went with your students);
Stream 3: Try out one of the 11 original STE(A)M IT Learning Scenarios in class and tell us how it went with a Story of Implementation.
Winning Learning Scenarios and Stories of Implementation will be included in the Scientix repository as well as STE(A)M IT portal. Winners will also be invited to join the STE(A)M IT Career Advisors Network.
Participants have until 30 April 2021 at 23:59 Central European Time (CET) to submit their entries.
The STEM Alliance & STE(A)M IT – Professionals Go Back to School Competition
The STEM Alliance & STE(A)M IT – Professionals Go Back to School Competition encourages the integration of STEM Career topics in class through Career Sheets and (virtual) visits from STEM professionals to classrooms, among other options. It includes two streams:
Stream 1 – Professionals Go Back to School calls for the organisation of a collaborative activity with a STEM Professional and the creation of a STEM Career Sheet.
Stream 2 – STEM Professions calls for the organisation of an activity using STEM Alliance / STE(A)M IT materials like the STE(A)M IT Guidelines on how to present STEM jobs in classrooms.
Join now: Organise the activity, pin it to the STEM Discovery Map and submit the career sheet (stream 1) and/or tell us about your activity (stream 2) to be one of the 10 teachers to join the STE(A)M IT Career Advisors Network.
Participants have until 30 April 2021 at 23:59 Central European Time (CET) to submit their entries.

Hi Snježana Marković-Zoraja,
We are happy to hear that you are interested in taking part in the STE(A)M IT Competitions 2021!
You can find the link to the STEM Discovery Campaign map and the form to submit your entry in the “Terms and Conditions” of the competitions:
https://files.eun.org/SciEduDept/SDC2021-STEAM-IT-Competitions-final.pdf
Step 1: Pin the activity and submit the Learning Scenario to the 2021 STEM Discovery Campaign map of activities:
http://www.scientix.eu/events/campaigns/sdc21#map
When you fill in the form to submit your activity, you will be asked if you want to submit the activity to a competition. Select the right competition and the right stream:
– STE(A)M IT Competitions 2021 – Stream 1: New STE(A)M IT Learning Scenarios
– or STE(A)M IT Competitions 2021 – Stream 2: New STE(A)M IT Learning Scenarios tried in class
– or STE(A)M IT Competitions 2021 – Stream 3: Using the STE(A)M IT Learning Scenarios with students
Once you selected the competition, you will be prompted to provide a link to the Learning Scenario you are submitting for the competition from where it can be accessed.
Step 2 (only for stream 2 & 3): if you submit your entry for stream 2 or 3: write a blog post (Story of Implementation) about how the implementation went, the number of students that participated, impressions from the different teachers, etc. on the 2021 STEM Discovery Campaign blog. At the end of Step 1, you will receive information on how to contribute to the blog.

Hello, good evening. I´m taking part in the STE(A)M IT Competitions 2021. I´m working on my LS and when “Lesson plan” section arrives I can read the following sentence (*) above the table. However, I don´t see the Annex 1 in my template. Should I fill it myself? Thank you so much
(*) “The implementation of integrated STEM teaching and learning is facilitated by the use of specific pedagogical approaches (PBL, IBL, etc). In order to facilitate the research done by the teachers and the design of activities by teachers, a selection of such approaches is presented in Annex 1. Maintaining Annex 1 in the Learning Scenario and citing where necessary is mandatory”
Vanessa James · 27/04/2021 at 9:18 AM
Dear Isabel,
Thank you so much for bringing this to our attention.
Please ignore the sentence above the table regarding annexe 1. In your annexe section, you only need to add the sources/materials your used/created for your lesson plan.
Good luck with the competition!

Hello,
I sent the learning scenario for the STE(A)M IT Competitions 2021, Stream 2, but it is not on the activity map, nor did I receive an email that it was rejected. How can I find out if everything is okay?
Vanessa James · 11/05/2021 at 2:45 PM
Dear Ira, many thanks for letting us know. Our team will get back to you as soon as possible with some answers.
Vanessa
Ira Tuba · 19/05/2021 at 11:56 AM
Hello,
I’m sorry to bother you, but I still haven’t gotten an answer. It is very important to me to know if I have submitted the LS properly and if it is participating in the competition. Thank you.
Vanessa James · 19/05/2021 at 4:54 PM
Hi Ira, your activity is now on the map and everything in order with your submission 😉
Ira Tuba · 20/05/2021 at 11:19 AM
Thank you!
Isabel · 17/05/2021 at 4:28 PM
Hello, good evening. I also sent the learning scenario for the STE(A)M IT Competitions 2021 (Stream 1), but it is not on the activity map, I received a confirmation mail with the subject “2021 STEM Discovery Campaign- Activity and action submission form” that summarized all what I sent. I´m quite sure that I also pin the activity, however, maybe I did something wrong as it´s not there. What can I do now?
Thank you
Vanessa James · 19/05/2021 at 4:39 PM
Dear Isabel, it seems that the activity was showing in the wrong location because the city was not specified in the address. It should be fixed it now. 🙂
Isabel · 19/05/2021 at 10:36 PM
It´s there now, thank you so much 🙂
