General information

Description of the project

The project "STEM Innovation Space for the New Ukrainian School" is aimed at creating a modern educational environment that will ensure the high-quality implementation of STEM education in accordance with the New Ukrainian School concept. The project provides for the purchase of modern personal computers, equipment for robotics (programming kits, microcontrollers, sensors, 3D modules).

The purpose of the project

Main Goal:

Increasing compliance with modern standards

Secondary Goal:

Ensuring inclusiveness and equal opportunities

Description of the purpose of the project and ways to achieve it

The goal of the project "STEM Innovation Space for the New Ukrainian School" is to create a modern educational environment that will ensure high-quality implementation of STEM education in accordance with the New Ukrainian School concept and contribute to the formation of key 21st century competencies in students.

Problems and solutions resulting from project implementation

1. Problem: outdated computer equipment (12 years of operation), low productivity, inability to work with modern software. Result after project implementation: updating the PC will ensure fast and stable operation of modern programs for programming, modeling, 3D design and online platforms, increase the efficiency of lessons and the level of digital literacy of students. 2. Problem: lack of equipment for practical STEM activities (robotics, microcontrollers, 3D printing). Result: creating a full-fledged STEM space will allow the implementation of project learning, design, engineering research and programming, which corresponds to the approaches of the New Ukrainian School. 3. Problem: limited opportunities for interactive and interdisciplinary learning. Result: installation of interactive equipment will promote the use of modern teaching methods, visualization of complex processes, and integrated lessons (mathematics, computer science, physics). 4. Problem: low motivation of students in technical and natural sciences due to the lack of a practical component. Result: increased interest of schoolchildren in STEM areas, increased number of participants in Olympiads, competitions and technical projects. 5. Problem: inconsistency of the material and technical base with modern educational standards. Result: creation of an innovative educational environment that will ensure high-quality preparation of students for further education and professional activity in the digital economy.
