Project Description
Education for Digital Economy is a continuation of the Education for Digital Society project, which was implemented in 2022. During 2023 and 2024, three STEAM camps will be held, which will cover popular topics in education that have not yet received enough attention, such as the AI, robotics, machine learning and biotechnology. In addition to the camps, more than 1,000 students will have the opportunity to visit the CPN’s events, such as the May Month of Mathematics and the Researchers’ Night, where they will participate in workshops related to the theme of the camps.
In addition to activities for students, the project also provides professional training for teachers through workshops that will be held across Serbia. The themes of the workshops are developing STEAM disciplines and competencies, providing peer support in teaching STEAM subjects, introducing teachers to online resources, courses, webinars and other events that can enable them to improve their teaching skills and methodology.
The Role of CPN
The Center's activities are related to supporting the work and active networking of primary and secondary school teachers through the STEAM educational format. The Center will design a program of workshops and hold workshops for teachers across Serbia. CPN will also design and organise camps to improve students' knowledge and interest in STEAM disciplines.
