I am very happy and proud that I completed 37 hours of great training and I was awarded for passing these courses of the STEM MOOC's Package organized by European Schoolnet from Brussel. The next step is preparing for Scientix Ambassador program.

As #SonS Ambassador 2020-2022, I held the webinar about using STEAM contents in non-STEAM school subjects in Serbian. I described my teaching practice for Serbian educators and you can find it HERE.  European Schoolnet Academy has prepared two great courses for educators who want to become Scientix Ambassadors next year. They will start in 10 days, so you have time to register for free, but you need to have account on European Schoolnet! Enjoy the courses: Integrated STEM Teaching for Primary Schools and Integrated STEM Teaching for Secondary Schools.  Prize that Mila won in the category "“under 12” (years old)" on COMnPLAY Science contest has finally arrived. It is tablet "Microsoft Surface Go – 64 GB". She interviewed her uncle microbiologist, Djordje Bajic, who works at Yale University as a scientist researcher. Questions and answers are tailored to her age and you can find them HERE. You might get an idea for next year...
We are very happy and proud that our daughter Mila is is the Winner in the category “under 12” (years old). Here are the results of COMnPLAYscience Competition 2020. We look forward to September for the award "Microsoft Surface Go – 64 GB".  I am happy and proud that I have been selected as one of the 30 winners of this year's Europeana Education competition. Instead of workshop in Brussels due to pandemic of COVID-19 the prize is promotional: • translating my Learning Scenario/Story of Implementation "Food Tests" to 6 languages: Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, French, Greek and Polish • publishing online a booklet in each of these languages (plus English) with the 30 winning Learning Scenarios • disseminating the booklet across Europe, to all our Ministries of Education, as well as teachers.
I am happy and proud that my students participated in BLOOM Stories Competition as part of the STEM Discovery Campaigne because our lesson plan was selected as one of 6 finalists of this competition. So our Story of Adapatation "My Kitchen Without Food Waste" has been published HERE among other BLOOM School Box teaching resources which educators can use to introduce the concept of bioeconomy in their classrooms as a trigger to raise student interest in science subjects and their awareness of important societal challenges.
The last classes of civic education my 5th&7th grade students were used for professional orientation and had the opportunity to meet Djordje Bajic, Serbian biochemist from Yale University. They ask him questions about study of bacteria, COVID19, process of cloning and editing genes. They are eager to expect the next virtual meeting with Djordje in September from his university laboratory.  Today my students and I had the opportunity to meet a real active Italian astronaut Luca Parmitano and find out all about his occupation and ways of life in the spaceship. Knowing of our tremendous desire to meet him, mister Steve Sherman invited me and my students to connect for the interview with Luca and it was one of those powerful opportunities not to be missed, especially because we were at home due to #COVID19. Since my students decided to be the active participants of this interview, they've prepared the questions. Luca answered especially to the questions in the Italian language, since my students learn Italian as a second foreign language in secondary school. It was great event where students definitely enrich with knowledge and get involved in such opportunities so that they can easily select their career path. Today my students had a chance to meet a primatologist Hella Péter through "Skype a Scientist", educational program which matches scientists with people all around the world! This program allows scientist to reach people from all over the world without having to leave the lab! Hella studies chimpanzees and their social life and her work focuses on how and why wild chimps make tools. My students prepared some interesting questions for her and it was very useful online meeting for them because some of them love biology and they're thinking of choosing the profession of a biologist in the future. |
