“ The 5th edition of the STEM Discovery Campaign was without doubt a unique one from the very beginning. The campaign kicked off at the end of January, for the first time gathering as many as ten outstanding STEM competitions for teachers and students. When many countries decided to close schools in March, due to the Coronavirus outbreak, we decided to continue the campaign itself and support all educators in finding out new, engaging ways of involving students in online activities. The creativity and dedication of teachers, despite this challenging situation, was impressive and extremely motivating. We are proud to announce the results of the campaign and the winners of the competitions which had already finished! The 2020 STEM Discovery Campaign gathered 89,300 educators, parents, industry representatives, policymakers and pupils from 7,700 schools who participated in 610 activities in total. While more activities were organised in the previous year, reaching almost 1,000 unique events, we are truly impressed by the number of schools which joined our campaign this year – 7,700 schools compared with 4,700 in 2019. This, together with the number of teachers involved, which oscillated around 15,000 both years, proves that in spite of the circumstances, teachers did a truly incredible job in carrying out various STEM activities online. Throughout the whole initiative, we tried to do our best to support teachers and educators in the transformation of their work into online environments. In the middle of March Scientix offered online support for teachers by opening its Scientix Online Meeting Room and Scientix Moodle. From the very first day of making these services available, they were in very high demand and we couldn’t have been happier to facilitate the work of teachers in this challenging time. In addition, we encouraged everyone to share their experience of teaching remotely on the STEM Discovery Campaign Blog, which allowed us to publish 135 blog posts written by 97 authors. The blog gathered a unique collection of best practices, tips and tools to teach remotely, which illustrates an enormous dedication of teachers who tirelessly discovered new solutions and share their experience with others. We would like to thank everyone who contributed to this very special edition of the STEM Discovery Campaign and share with you the list of lucky winners! Also, you can see all STEM activities submitted this year on the map below.”
