Greetings to everyone. I am Aliya Ahmadova. Finally, SDW 2019, which we long foresee, begins. I am the manager of the “STEM Azerbaijan” project supported by the Ministry of Education of the Republic of Azerbaijan. As a project manager, I intend to provide active participation of Azerbaijan’s STEM teachers in the STEM Discovery Week 2019 events. For this purpose, we decided to organize the “My best STEM Lesson Plan” competition.

Regulation of “My best STEM Lesson Plan” competition :

Who can participate?
Natural-technical and primary class teachers of general education schools of Azerbaijan Republic.

How to choose threads?
In order to support the overall lesson process, teachers are advised to choose one of the topics that they are teaching in April. An optional STEM topic may also be selected on the teacher’s request.

What are the main requirements for the lesson plan?
