Help students see scientists as real people
Ask speakers from a variety of careers to talk to your students, to present their educational and career pathway. Invite also parents engaged in STEM fields to speak.
In these Workshops, students will be able to learn and exchange experiences directly with the invited experts / technicians.
Prior a workshop activity, I will make students reflect on the topics we will be learning about during the workshop.

It is up to the teacher to create diversified, contextualized and stimulating activities, capable of arousing the attention of the student and motivating him to learn the theme.
Knowing that education faces new challenges, it is urgent to rethink the adoption of methodologies that favor active learning.
We suggest some active learning activities that the teacher can implement in the classroom:
• Problem solving, case studies
• Development of a project, research, exploration
• Planning, development and implementation (practical application)
• Quizzes (answering questions and / or asking questions)

Project based learning (PBL): Project based learning approach can be defined as “the ongoing act of learning about different subjects simultaneously”

I use various applications and resources in my classes and it's usually me who build my learning resources with the help of various tools, Kahoot, Socrative, Quizlet, Genial.ly, EDpuzzle, Google Forms, which I then share with students through tasks To do so, using the LMS Edmodo platform,

Adaptability: We can’t always plan for everything. Being able to adapt to new developments and still achieve your goal is an important skill in the business world and during a Service Learning project

Communication: An important skill of working in a team is being able to communicate. During a service learning project, you will need to communicate your ideas and explain your thought process when presenting a possible solution to a problem.

Problem Solving: The ability to collect data, analyze, interpret and explain the results to solve a problem or suggest the next steps that should be taken.

1) Yes, I use the students' mobile devices to carry out pedagogical activities. New technologies provide great freedom in the teaching-learning process and allow to reconcile formal and non-formal learning in various contexts, whether inside or outside the classroom. I use Moodle / Kahoot / PhET Interactive Simulations / Prezi / Plickers / Google Forms.

2) In addition to the equipment, it is necessary to rethink the contents and their format; Projects Based Learning, potentiates the development of the competences defined for the 21st century and that are:

Skills related to ways of thinking: creativity | innovation | critical thinking | troubleshooting | decision making | learn to learn.

Skills related to ways to work: communication | collaboration.

Social and life skills: Initiative capacity | entrepreneurship

1)      STEM skills is an educational program designed to prepare students in the areas of science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM). In addition to subject-specific learning, STEM aims to promote inquiring minds, logical reasoning, and collaborative skills.

Instead of theoretical activities and repetitive exercises that serve only to robotic learning, students achieve better results when they are challenged to put their "hands on" to create, plan, develop and implement projects that can be implemented in their communities.

2)       The growing importance of STEM skills in professions that are traditionally not considered STEM, for example Graphic Designers.

Professions that are not normally understood as 'STEM professions' need these skills to be successful, and companies need individuals with these skills to be globally competitive.

In my area and in the neighboring cities the most wanted professions are in the area of "information technologies" (IT). Profiles of IT or Project Coordinator, with management capabilities that are examples in technical terms and bring ideas to the company; Functions such as 'IT Business Analytics' and 'Software Engineers'

It is often said that 'hard skills' open the door to business, but it is the 'soft skills' that keep employees in business. For this reason, "learning and adaptability, ease of communication and interpersonal relationship, teamwork, orientation and objectives and results" are some of the necessary characteristics, along with the technical skills to guarantee these jobs.

Society needs professionals who have other skills; The traditional teaching system focused on the study of writing, reading and arithmetic, is outdated.

Teachers need to reflect on strategies to train students well prepared to deal with the job market and with life in general. I think it is important to develop the skills of the 21st century, such as problem solving, critical thinking, creativity, communication and collaboration.

The rapidity with which concepts expand and new technologies emerge makes the formation of the teacher can be considered "obsolete" a few years after their formation. Thus, my task as a teacher presupposes overcoming such obstacles, unifying experiences and teaching strategies, in order to qualify students, teach new skills, build possibilities for change, stimulate activities that prioritize issues of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (CTEM), Throwing challenges to students so that they build their own knowledge.

1) Yes, I agree that there is a shortage STEM skills in Europe; It is not just the research institutes that are looking for new, well-qualified employees. The industry, too, is finding it increasingly difficult to get graduates with a bachelor's degree in STEM disciplines. In addition to engineers, there is also substantial demand by scientists, mathematicians and computer specialists. Today the demand for STEM workers is surpassing supply.

2) In view of the growing importance of Science and Technology in our society and the increasing demand for professionals in these areas, countries have to create educational programs in the STEM areas, so that students can compete in the same championship, it is urgent to give them Opportunities to deepen knowledge and learning experiences aimed at the development of specific competences in the STEM areas, which enhance their present success in school and future professional success.
