Landesspezifische Adaptionen
- Ciencia para todos – ExperimentoInstituto APOYO adapted Experimento for primary schools to meet the specifications of the national curriculum, adding its own content to create an expanded version of the program: “Ciencias para todos – Experimento.” The educational resources are available for download in the Centro de Recursos Educativos Abiertos (CREA) of Siemens Stiftung.
- STEAM: Implementing creative, cultural, and artistic elementsUniversidad Peruana Cayetano Heredia has introduced STEM education as a continuing education program for teachers and has offered a certification program since 2018. In addition, the university provides creative, extracurricular STEM workshops for students from kindergarten through middle school on a wide range of subjects. Their program “Diviértete y aprende” (“Have fun and learn”) is special for creating a deliberate link between science and technology (Experimento) content and creative, cultural, and artistic aspects – building bridges to other disciplines in a way that shows how holistic and imaginative science and technology can be.
