The Hub - test

Hosted by OSOS , contributed by lamprinik on 25 May 2018

Development of a unique Hub to support inquiry based learning of 6th and 9th grade students. The core of the project is the support mechanism for the students and teachers which includes opening the school to a wide range of experts and mentors from the academic and the informal education community.

The inquiry process begins with a series of engaging meetings aimed to rise curiosity and introduce to the students the inquiry based learning process. School labs and other facilities, including relevant school staff, are open for students after school hours. The process comes to its peak with the regional science fair.

 

AVAILABLE PARTNERSHIP OPPORTUNITIES:

Local citizens with expertise in the subjects of the students' projects: a marine biologist, a public relations person etc.
