Description
The goal of the project is to provide students with an opportunity to cooperate with one another on an international level concerning scientific work. Current conditions do not allow doing more complex scientific projects with students from other schools, do not meet the needs of distance learning, and do not allow teachers to create new curricula. By renovating the science lab to meet the requirements of modern curricula, students will be able to cooperate with their Norwegian partners on various projects and experiments, gain experience, and enhance their practical skills. For example, different student groups could work on different stages of an experiment, share their findings essential for another group’s progress, and learn how to present the results of their international co-operation. This way students could share their experience, learn about remote scientific collaboration, and find new friends - all crucial aspects of their future university studies and career in sciences. The possibility to employ the most modern methods and techniques in teaching sciences offers an opportunity to motivate female students to continue in science studies and provide a level-playing field that might lead to fixing the underrepresentation of women in STEM. The success of the project would offer an opportunity to decrease the indirect discrimination that students of secondary schools such as Spojena skola Novohradska suffer from and offer them an equal starting point regarding their university studies and future career.
