CiSTEM², aims to immerse student STEM teachers in interdisciplinary cooperation, problem solving, and creative inquiry and design via online and blended learning opportunities. 

On 14/06/22-16/06/22 we had the pleasure of hosting the training for the platform we developed for the project.

We presented and got familiar with the platform the first day and for the next days we had a very interesting workshop where all the partners had the chance to work together on a real life scenario and watching the platform come to life.

It was three hard working days but for sure they paid off!
