Inspiring Future Innovators
The students’ enthusiasm was clear as they tackled real-world challenges and used creative thinking to solve problems meeting the pedagogical goals of the eTeaching Programme. Activities like experimenting with renewable energy not only captured their interest, but also helped them see how science and technology can make a difference in the world.

What’s Next for EcoSTEAM?
The EcoSTEAM Project’s primary objective is to disseminate and refine educational content developed during the initiative. Feedback from students and educators will be used to enhance the materials and teaching methods for future implementations. The project also involves primary school students and teachers, creating a holistic educational experience across different age groups.

With its hands-on, interdisciplinary approach, the EcoSTEAM Project continues its efforts in equipping educators and students to address environmental challenges creatively and effectively. CARDET remains committed to expanding these efforts, fostering meaningful change through education.
