The Secret of Success is Hidden in STEM

 It is stated that 3D design activities increase students' visual literacy and that these skills are critical for digital design, which is used in many professions today (Verner & Merksamer, 2015). Pollution caused by large multi-story buildings is rapidly becoming a major threat to our world. In this activity, our students designed a small, single-story house using the Tinkercad 3D design program, an important element of STEM, and designed a solar energy system or wind turbine that could meet the energy needs of this house.

 Minecraft Education is a virtual world game that allows students to develop their design and engineering skills. In this activity, we aimed for our students to find solutions to environmental problems in the virtual world using technological and scientific devices. For this purpose, students were formed into mixed groups and determined methods of solving environmental problems. Then, they created the solutions by coding with the Minecraft program. In addition to coding skills, our students were made aware of environmental pollution, the effects of environmental pollution on our world, producing solutions to environmental problems, and using technology to prevent environmental pollution.

Arduino ile STEM uygulamalarının kapsamlı olarak genişletildiği, Arduino'nun STEM okuyucu yazarlığı alanına hizmet ettiği, ilgi ve motivasyonunu artırdığı ve yenilik yapma ve problem çözmenin geliştirildiği görülmektedir (Wang vd., 2016). Bu etkinlikte kuracağımız Akıllı Ev Sistemi ile hem evlerimizin parasını sağladık hem de evlerde gereksiz enerji tüketimi ve israfını önleme yöntemlerini keşfettik.

It has been stated that STEM studies can have a great impact on students since sustainability and environmental problems  are fundamentally related to society and the real world, and it is of great importance that teachers prepare STEM lesson  plans integrated with sustainable development education and examine how students.

We held a two-day virtual project kick-off meeting to plan all the activities that will take place during our project at PEV High School.

  Project Summary Objectives By implementing this project; We aim to educate individuals with good digital skills that can associate many problems with science and mathematics, especially with engineering design and have good digital skills, culturally rich and good foreign language knowledge. The main objective of our project is to increase our success rate in science and mathematics courses by 20 %in 3 years. Activities Our activities are: 1)Project Kick-off Meeting-Virtual 2)How to Prepare a STEM Plan -Spain 3)Smart Home Systems -Greece 4)Environmental Problem Solving (with MineCraft) -Turkey 5)Building a Nature-Friendly House with 3D Programs -Italy In addition, many activities will be carried out locally during our project too.These activities; will be educational preparations, cultural and language preparations, and dissemination and evaluation activities. Impact The results we expect from our project: * To increase the achievement of mathematics and science lessons achieveme...
