Learning outcomes
The aim of the course is to introduce students to the professional background of STEM subjects with an emphasis on interdisciplinary links. Proficiency at the advanced high school level will be required for selected STEM courses. The course will be taught using active learning methods, so students will already verify and test some modern methods and procedures for teaching STEM subjects during their studies, which can then be used to create their own STEM programs. Parallel to the teaching of the subject, the student will work on a STEM subject creation project.

Prerequisites
unspecified

Assessment methods and criteria
