RockStar: Enhancing STEM education

Description

"The main objective of RockStar (acronym for ""rockets"" and ""stars"") is to establish an educational collaboration between institutions from Canary Islands (Spain), Nordland (Norway) and Copenhagen, Denmark. This will be based on a coordinated project between high schools from the different countries and three institutions dedicated to education and dissemination of science and research: the Museum of Science and the Cosmos (MCC), the Institute of Astrophysics of the Canary Islands (IAC), both in Tenerife, Spain, and the National Center for Space related Education (NAROM), part of the Andøya Space Center, located in Andøya, Norway. This program focus on astrophysics, space sciences and technology, and priories the development of educational modules that fits with learning objectives of the curricula (upper secondary level) of the different countries . The program will use the educational resources located in Tenerife (MCC and Teide Observatory), and Andøya Space Centre, Andøya. These complement very well, offering a unique frame for developing educational projects based on active-inquiry learning by using the attractive astrophysics and space science fields as hook to get attention into STEM disciplines. The main goal of RockStar is to increase interest towards STEM discipline. The combination of the resources that these institutions offer will certainly awake the enthusiasm and help achieving an effective program. The experience of these institutions in educational projects related to the objectives of RockStar will guarantee a high quality program.All resources developed by the project will be available online for use in classrooms. The transferability enables teachers to bring space related and hand-ons STEM-activities in use."
