admin MA.R.CH. ,

Three MA.R.CH. pilots were realized in Bulgaria in the month of May, reaching more than 270 students!

Science Fair in Mirkovo

The first pilot was held in the village of Mirkovo on the 05th of May. A science fair (Science Day) was organized at Georgi Benkovski Primary school, Mirkovo, where students are able to demonstrate their STEM projects completed during the year.

TechnoFair in Kazanlak

The second pilot was held on the 10th of May in the city of Kazanlak. During the Science Day (TechnoFair Kazanlak) was an exhibition of the specialties, thus relating education to career development. A competition for science models and experiments followed and the conclusion was a session from local businesses, presenting opportunities for work after graduation.

Astroparty in Baykal

And the third MA.R.CH. pilot for the month was held in the city of Baykal, near the Danube river. The activities of this Science Day (Astroparty Baykal) was focused on astronomy experiments and observations with stellar maps plus lectures from professional scientists. The lectures build on common knowledge about the physical bodies on Earth and in Space, as described in the  school curriculum. But this pilot activity further deepens the knowledge and understanding of how every student (a future scientist or engineer) can help discover the secrets of the universe using Inquiry based learning.

The second pilot was a Science Day, dedicated to Geography and Geophysics in the city of Kazanlak in the period 16-17 April 2016. More than 160 students, 90 teachers and 105 university students were present!

The other two pilots were organized in the city of Vidin. Vidin is the poorest region in the EU, thus a Science Day (actively involving more than 1140 students and 87 teachers) and a Cafe Scientifique Junior (for 200 high school students and 8 teachers) helped show that STEM disciplines are a good career choice.
