Welcome to the S.T.E.P.S. MOOC Platform: Revolutionizing STEM Education
Our MOOC platform features comprehensive resources tailored to pre-service and in-service secondary school teachers, empowering them with the tools, methodologies, and confidence required to seamlessly integrate robotics into their curricula. Structured into accessible modules, the course offers practical insights across several key areas, including:
-
Robotics and Programming Fundamentals
-
Technology Integration in Education
-
Environmental Applications and Sustainability
-
Engineering Principles and Practices
Each module is enriched with Open Educational Resources (OER) such as lesson plans, interactive digital content, engaging quizzes, project-based assignments, and comprehensive instructional materials, which collectively foster a robust and immersive learning experience. The S.T.E.P.S. educational robot, co-designed by an international consortium of educators, researchers, and industry experts, serves as an accessible and affordable solution to introduce practical STEM activities into classrooms. This initiative not only bridges educational gaps by providing low-cost alternatives to proprietary educational robots but also promotes inclusion and diversity in STEM fields. Join us in advancing digital readiness and stimulating innovative teaching practices through the S.T.E.P.S. MOOC platform—empowering educators, inspiring learners, and shaping the future of STEM education.
