Health Innovation with STEM

Health Innovation  with STEM is an eTwinning  project. With this project, we asked our students to come up with solutions to the Covid-19 pandemic. Teachers from Turkey, Portugal and Jordan participated in our project. In our project, we wanted to create inavosian in health. for this reason, we took advantage of the STEM education approach. We’ve prepared our plans. We practiced it in our classrooms. We’ve prepared the students for the problem situations. Students have created solutions to these problems using STEM disciplines.
