Three new MA.R.CH. Pilots in Bulgaria

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.

MA.R.CH. Presentation during International Day of Astronomy #AstroSU

The MA.R.CH. project was presented during the International Day of Astronomy, held on the 14th of May in the Sofia Observatory at the “Borisova gradina” park in Sofia, Bulgaria. The Observatory is a research institution and is part of the Dept. of Astronomy, Faculty of Physics, Sofia University.

This year is the first time that the International Day of Astronomy is being celebrated in Bulgaria. Read more about the Dept. of Astronomy here: www.phys.uni-sofia.bg/~astro/

MA.R.CH. Coaching Session in Bulgaria #5.

The fifth MA.R.CH. Coaching Session for Pilots Implementation in Bulgaria was held on the 10 of May 2016 in the city of Plovdiv during the International Express Yourself 2016 Conference, part of the Chain Reaction EU Project (http://www.chreact.eu/). 58 teachers from 12 countries (UK, Bulgaria, Italy, Slovakia, Turkey, France, Slovenia, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Jordan and Georgia) took part in the session.

The city of Plovdiv is the sixth oldest town in the world and the second biggest city in Bulgaria, after the capital, Sofia.

MA.R.CH. Coaching Session in Bulgaria #3.

The third MA.R.CH. Coaching Session for Pilots Implementation in Bulgaria was held on the 22nd of April 2016 in the city of Vidin. 18 teachers took active part.

Vidin is the poorest region in Europe. Thus the implementation of MA.R.CH. pilots might driven interest into STEM education and career, thus providing highly skilled individuals to change that in the longterm.
