Abstract

The ERASMUS+ project DIGITAL STEM LABS is a partnership of three Universities (Turkey, Greece, Spain) and three secondary schools (Turkey, Greece, Lithuania), which aims to develop digital STEM learning environments and teacher training in utilizing them. This paper presents the results of the review on the good STEM practices applied in Greece and the digital STEM modules designed through the collaboration of the university institutions and the teachers, who participate in the program. In addition, aspects of the methodological guide and the main principles of digitalization and organization of the teaching material in an open platform will be presented.
