Hi! I'm an ELT teacher at a project high school in Afyonkarahisar. I really love science and I want my students to learn more about it. Last year, I founded an eTwinning project named T.E.S.L.A. (Techology, Education, Science, Life, Applications) and we got 17 European labels together with our partners. In our project, we also did some activities about scientists. So, the students in the project had a chance to learn about scientists including our valuable Turkish scientists too. We are about to build a STEM laboratory in our school. Last September I told about STEM, coding and 3D printers and our manager agreed to build a STEM laboratory and also buy a 3D printers. I want to create an active and effective laboratory and also make our other teachers learn about STEM. So, being in this project will be really great.

The Goal of The Project:

The Scientix project is a project sponsored by European school networks for the dissemination of STEM education in Europe. Within the scope of this project, many activities on STEM education are organized and trainings are carried out.

The primary aim of our project is to introduce our teachers and projectors who are members of the eTwinning community. Apart from that, the activities we plan to do will ensure that our project members are actively involved in the Scientix project. as well as the Scientix ambassadors among the members, to fulfill the tasks of dissemination. STEM-based activities and lesson plans will be created within the scope of the project.

Subscribing to TUBİTAK periodicals for school, we got two of them every month. We put them in our library so that our students could reach and read easily. In one of them Aziz Sancar said something about STEM for Girls.

Just a part of our board. In addition to Scientix posters, project information, my students made research about women scientists and shared on the board.

As our project board is next to our Z-Library, it is really visible to everyone. So, informing about Scientix via this board was easier. No matter how you give seminars to people or no matter who give those seminars, only those who want to be informed get this knowledge and improve themselves...

However STEM does not directly include ESL (English as Second Language), We, ESL Teachers, believe that we can integrate other disciplines into our lesson but only with main points. STEM subjects can be taught in the foreign language, which is called as CLIL by most authorities. I've been teaching English through some subjects of science and scientist and I find it very useful and much more comprehensible for students. Anyway, when it comes to make a lesson plan, it was hard to prepare it at first. However, I strongly believe that it will be easier in time as more teacher get an improve comprehension of STEM, 21st century skills and innovative education.

I always like Augmented Reality tools. So, I mostly used them. You can see on this Popplet which ones we used.

We organized STEM Workshops for the week. My students worked on a problem and then they made designs as solution of the problem. They learnt how to create 3D models on Tinkercad and they tried to create 3D models of their designs there. At the end of 3 days workshop after school, they presented their work to other friends and discussed on it together.

Because both were on the same days, combining two events, STEM Discovery Week and Girls in ICT Day, we organized Science Street activity. Some students acted as women scientists. It was a really succesful and useful activity as there were about 550 female students in the school.

This is another video from our Science Street Activity. Because our videos are short, they are not boring. Actually, short or long, videos are worth watching to see light in the eyes of my students.

I also wanted to make a photo video of our Science Street Activity as we had nice shots. The last scene was shot in the director's room. The students introduced themselves as scientists. They gave information about their life and work.

As we had TUBİTAK Science Fair in May followed by exams, we didn't organize a project exhibition separetely. Instead, we thought that what we did for STEM during the year like STEM Workshops, teaching Tinkercad, working on 3D printer, having lessons with Web 2.0 tools, paragraphs with Augmented Reality will be parts of Science Fair Project,  so this will also be a kind of exhibition, like STEM, an integrated one. In the photo collage, yoıu see the project students. They have also attended STEM Workshops, studied Augmented Reality. In one of the projects which is about Biology and cell, cell parts were printed by our students as result of our STEM Workshops. In another one, the students are working on Tinkercad and 3D modelling and they're printing out. In another one, the students have designed a book with Augmented Reality applications. As last one in the collage, the students have designed a game in English. There are questions in the game about science including their school subjects. The aim is not testing their knowledge in other lessons. The questions were prepared in interdisciplinary approach. I just guided those students. They comprehended the natue of STEM easily.  That's why they could produce such great projects.

Projemiz ve STEM Discovery Week kapsamında okulumuzda yaptığımız Science Street ve STEM atölyeleri, Tinkercad ve 3D yazıcı çalışmaları sonunda öğrencilerimizin bana "Öğretmenim, bilim kadını olabileceğimizi düşünmüyorduk ama artık düşünüyoruz. Sayenizde yolumuzu belirledik..." gibi sözler söylemesi, bu projenin benim açımdan en büyük başarılarındandır. Atölyeler düzenlerken kıymetli bilim adamımız Aziz Sancar ile de bağlantı kurmuştuk ve "Kızlarımız için STEM çalışmaları başlattığınızdan dolayı kendim ve ülkem adına teşekkür ederim" demişti. Aziz Sancar'dan gelen maili her sınıfta okuduğumda ve Cuma okul çıkışı törende tüm okula da okuduğumuzda kopan alkış, gözlerdeki umut ışığı yine bu projenin başarılarındandır. Önemli bir nokta daha olarak, okulumuzda 550 kız öğrenci vardı.

I'm sharing this plan as extra one. In our school, we prepared it taking Biology as the main discipline. What I read about STEM, webinars  and what I learnt from the project really helped me to guide my friends while preparing the plan.

# data[].attributes.body
I prepared for my students who attended STEM Discovery Week activities. They felt really happy when they got their certificates. Don't worry, the others didn't feel unhappy as I made them other activities like autism and environment awareness. So, they also got certificates prepared for themselves. Certificates are good motivation for students.

I also like Quiver. However, most of it is not suitable for my students' age. Fortunately, they have a unit in Biology lesson named Cell, so I could use an English paragraph named Cell and Growth to practice Present Simple Tense. I added cell with AR  on it.
The filigran was not on students' copies.

I often gave my students pages with news from world. Using AR on them made news more interesting. The filigran was not on students' copies.

I love especialy HP Reveal as I can prepare texts with AR for my students. Thanks to it, Interest rate to paragraphs have risen. Here is an example of it. The filigran was not on students' copies.
