Some interesting competitions

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Each year, thousands and thousands of students challenge themselves in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) academic competitions. And each year it seems that more and more student competitions are coming out in science, technology, engineering, and math, but also writing, literature, critical thinking, problem solving, debate, and many other fields. This makes it more difficult to understand where to put your time in pursuing academic competitions. With limited time and limited resources it can be hard for parents, educators, and students to know which competitions to take on or even what educational competitions are out there!

At the Institute of Competition Sciences we try to make it easy for parents, educators, and students to navigate the world of academic competitions. We track competitions and try to stay up on their deadlines and information so you have a comprehensive source to understand what you want to do when. The list below describes many competitions in the STEM arena; however, even this massive list just touches on what's actually available. For the best information, we recommend searching for competitions using our online database. This lets you filter competitions based on specific keywords or eligibility criteria to find just the ones you are interested in. This will be the best way to navigate the complex industry of academic competitions.

Also, make sure you get your own free ICS account so you can track and follow the competitions that are interesting to you! But, if you just want to do a quick read through some of the top competitions that are out there, check out our list below.

By joining eTwinning, teachers and other school staff will become part of the 'Community for schools in Europe' and benefit from endless opportunities.

Collaborate with and get inspired by other colleagues in Europe

In eTwinning, teachers organise and run on-site and online activities with their students along with colleagues from countries participating in the Erasmus+ programme. They engage in collaborative projects with the support of the TwinSpace environment. National Support Organisations are responsible for validating user registrations for becoming eTwinners, thus keeping the platform safe, providing support and guidance, and recognising teachers' work with National and European Quality Labels. The annual eTwinning book features the most innovative projects. Excellent projects are rewarded eTwinning European Prizes and become part of the project gallery.

Share with peers

The eTwinning community is made up of thousands of teachers and educators who share a vision of inclusive schools, using information and communication technology in a meaningful way, and making the most of 21st-century skills. eTwinners meet and network online, at school, at eTwinning events and conferences, and wherever they can inspire other teachers to better educate students. On the European School Education Platform, the eTwinning area offers project kits, practice examples, testimonials, and an online environment where eTwinners can communicate, create projects, share, and learn together at their own pace in line with their interests.

Upskill together

Lifelong learning is essential for teachers and eTwinning community members benefit from webinars, short and long online courses (including MOOCs), self-teaching materials, conferences, and other on-site professional development opportunities where they meet experts in many fields and improve their skills. These events allow teachers to network, learn together, and feel part of the same community.

eTwinning also provides opportunities for future teachers to get support when starting their careers.

Promote and celebrate

Like all communities, eTwinning has key events. A yearly theme is the focus of two online campaigns - in spring and autumn - where eTwinners share ideas, plan projects, produce materials, and learn together. And every year on 9 May, the community celebrates Europe Day as eTwinning Day with activities that make eTwinners feel part of something unique, wherever they are.

Become a protagonist

eTwinning Ambassadors are the pillars of the community. They are selected at a national level, provide training and support and share their energy and enthusiasm, making eTwinning grow every day. Get information from your National Support Organisations about how to become one of them!

The schools that are awarded the eTwinning Schools Label are models of the principles that inspire eTwinning, shared leadership, collaboration and sharing, students as agents of change, inclusion, and pedagogical innovation. Stay tuned to see when applications open!

Anyone can become an eTwinning Ambassador, and any school can get the eTwinning School Label.

How to join eTwinning

Register as a user today on the European School Education Platform using EU Login ( access here) and request to be validated as an eTwinner by the National Support Organisation in the country where your school is.

What does the eTwinning platform offer?

eTwinners can network, share, and collaborate with other registered eTwinners and schools by connecting through the social networking features offered, and by engaging in Rooms, eTwinning groups, and European projects.

Rooms are micro-groups that allow eTwinners to take part in video-conferencing sessions supported by a forum and a file archive.

eTwinning groups are virtual places where eTwinners meet and discuss specific subjects, topics, or other areas of interest. Featured Groups are groups coordinated by the CSS and moderated by experienced eTwinners (see more here).

eTwinning projects include activities on different topics and key competences involving two or more teachers and their students. Each project has its own TwinSpace, a free-to-use, safe platform that is only accessible to other eTwinning members in the project, your selected guests, and your selected pupils.

eTwinners can also join the online professional development opportunities organised by the European School Education Platform. Some of these offers will be tailored to the specific interests and needs of eTwinners and be available exclusively to them:

Short online courses are intense and enjoyable and introduce teachers to a topic, stimulate ideas, and help them develop their skills.

MOOCs (Massive Open Online Courses) are 4-6 weeks in length and require 12 - 25 hours of learning time during this period. Participants are free to conduct the activities at a time of their convenience during the duration of the course. A certificate is offered upon successful completion.

Webinars are live one-hour long online video sessions where teachers have the chance to learn about and discuss a variety of themes.

Webinar series are two webinar sessions that are connected by an interactive online activity.

Online conferences and events are designed for and dedicated to specific target audiences and themes.

You are not eligible to join eTwinning?

Only school staff can join the eTwinning community. If you are not a member of staff at a school, you can still enjoy and network in other sections of the European School Education Platform free of charge. Discover all these opportunities here. eTwinners can invite non-eTwinners to specific projects.

The EU's definition of bioeconomy is "sustainable production and processing of biomass for food, health products, fibre products, industry, and energy" European Network For Forest Pedagogy, internet-platform that intends to develop as an European-wide forum for information and communication about forest pedagogics, offers basic frames of standards to describe what is required in order to deliver environmental education for sustainable development. The standard describes six steps of pedagogical approaches with activities to increase environmental maturity; learn to enjoy outdoors, experience and observe nature, understand the ecological web, understand the interplay between man and nature, make decisions on environmental issues, be responsible for nature.

A three day STEM event took place in Petra Preradović Elementary School. The project was organized in cooperation with associations and organizations that promote the popularization of science and technology.

These are Scientix, FabLab, CARNET, the Croatian Community of Technical Culture, Smartplay and Bioteka.

The aim of the project was to popularize science in the educational system and to develop the skills and competences of students in the field of technology and information and communication sciences in a fun and educational way.

On the first day, 27th of March, three workshops were organised for teachers: FabLab makerspace robotic workshop, The scientific method of teaching workshop and a talk held by the famous Croatian astronomer Korado Korlević

On the second and third days, 28th and 29th of March, workshops were held for children in the open space of our school yard: there was a combination of science (biology, physics), technology (FabLab, Makerspace, SmartPlay), engineering (The Croatian community for technical education) and mathematics. Art was represented in the creative outputs of all participants.

Over 800 pupils from 10 schools attended the event. It was a great success as can be seen in the following e-book:

It's a regular day in a school with defined timetable where subjects are taught in isolation by different subject teachers. You attend a biology class, a chemistry class or a math class and the content seems disconnected to the students. They are studying the topics, attempt an assessment on the same and eventually forget the learning. How do you show to the students that all the content is integrated?

You brainstorm with your teachers who feel the same. They want learning to be deep and long lasting and ' STEMAGIC ' is born inspired by the STEM Discovery Week. An attempt to connect topics with each other through meaningful projects chosen by students. We discuss technology, discoveries around us with the students and ask them to research and create it. In the process, they understand the STEM principles around it and connect it to their regular school curriculum.

This activity has been carried out by a group of fourth-degree students of the 'IES L'ALLUSSER' secondary school.

We started the project reading an article about the possibility of building a station on the moon. The objective was to use this station to future expeditions to Mars. In the beginning, four people could live in the station.

The students started to draw their plans to scale. They based their calculations in the real mesures (we extracted the information from the article that we had read). They drew a plan using 'GeoGebra' (a dynamic mathematics software). At the end we made the scale model with 'Tinkercad' ( a 3D modelling tool), we converted the file into 'stl' format and we printed it.

A teacher who loves teaching teaches the children to love learning.
I am an EFL/ESL teacher (over 10 years in upper secondary school) with a strong expertise in bilingual education 100%CLIL in primary school, where I switched to promote bilingualism since primary ages, a theme I strongly support. I am a CLIL and technoCLIL teacher trainer too. After leading the IBI/BEI project in Italy, I am just about to start a new bilingual education project mixed both with CLIL and technoCLIL and with BYOD, also due to the fact I am one of the 20 teachers involved in the COMPANION Action Research (about the new CEFR descriptors) together with MIUR (Italian Ministry of Education) and INDIRE (Italian Agency of Research) in another school. My aim is to promote bilingual education since primary ages all over Italy and abroad. Motivation is the key word in my way of teaching: each pupil can fly high if we, as teachers, can discover our pupils' abilities.
Teacher (ELT/EST), CLIL teacher trainer and musician, I play bass guitar and I teach English and the disciplines in English language in a Primary School. My students call me Miss Angela, in the musical world they also call me Sin (remember Paradise Lost by Milton?). Besides being the beating heart for two metal bands: Labyrinthus Noctis and Sins Of Forgiveness, I am also one of the bass players for Rockin'1000, the biggest rock band on earth.
Degrees: - Foreign Languages and Literatures (English, Serbocroatian) - Italian literature, history of popular traditions Certificates - ESB Proficiency C2 - Master in Translation - SSIS A345/A346 (Secondary school) - Primary School - CeClil Ca'Foscari (100/100) - TechnoCLIL Awards - S.Bernardo Philology Trophy (1*)
