Abstract

The present study, which is part of a broader research project, concerns the design, implementation, and evaluation of a training seminar for teachers on STEM Education in the context of the “Diffusion of STEM” (DI-STEM) Project, funded by the Hellenic Foundation of Research and Innovation. The seminar was held in the three school-hubs of the Project by Athens Science and Education Laboratory project team with encouraging results.
