STEAM for all is a competition that aims at engaging students in STEAM educational activities and promoting inclusion in STEAM. 

All submitted activities are uploaded to the STEMigrants.eu repository, a website that promotes STEAM education in multicultural learning environments. This way, the repository will be enriched with activities already implemented in the classroom and, as they will be freely accessible to the entire educational community, other teachers will also have the chance to get new ideas for engaging their students in STEAM activities.

The format of the submitted activities aims to bypass the language barrier in multicultural school environments. For this reason, the implementation guidelines suggest the use of images and videos. 

Having as a moto STEAM is language for all 2022 STEAM for all competition welcomed the submissions of 21 schools around Greece. 

The competition was created as a collaboration of tree Scientix Ambassadors , Giannis Lefkos, Christina Lousta and Iro Koliakou and  is organized by Anatolia College in collaboration with the STEMigrants.eu teacher initiative.  The STEAm for All 2022 competition is  under the auspices of under the auspices of UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency, and the Greek ministry of education. 

Award Ceremony

All submitted activities will be evaluated by the organizing committee. The best four activities will be awarded an Arduino type Starter Kit. The winning teams will present their activities to an event that will take place on Friday, May 13, 2022 at the Anatolia College Anna Papageorgiou STEM Center. The event will also be broadcasted live (live streaming). A representative of the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees will attend the event.

With the aim of promoting science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STE (A) M), Anatolia College organizes for the eighth year the Student Science & Technology Conference – ACSTAC (Anatolia College Science and Technology Annual Conference) on the premises of Anatolia College from Saturday, April 9 to Sunday, April 10, 2022.

ACSTAC invites students of all grades of High School and Lyceum in Greece and abroad to develop research, critical thinking, collaboration and communication skills, presenting their work as real researchers in a student scientific conference. Through this process, students apply the principles of exploratory learning, seek information, explore solutions and build innovative products. In addition, they cultivate 21st century skills, such as collaboration, efficient use of technology, communication, personal and social responsibility, and career guidance.

The 8th ACSTAC was co-organised by Scientix Ambassador Iro Koliakou. EELLAK , Greek national contact point of Scientix, supported the conference by organizing  three workshops, aiming to promote STEM and Scietix in Greece. 

Iraklis Varlamis: Associate Professor in Data Management at Harokopio University, Department of Informatics and Telematics and member of the Board of EELLAK with responsibility in Open Data and Christos Chronis: PhD Candidate in the Department of Informatics and Telematics of Harokopio University organized a Robbotics workshop, presenting an educational robot, equipped with a set of sensors, their basic control through predefined but configurable Blockly blocks and several educational scenarios that cover different levels of education, from kindergarten to high school.

Christos Iosifidis: graduate of Agr. Surveyor Mech. NTUA. and external partner in the National Network of Technology and Research Infrastructures GRNET in the department of Digital Governance organized an online workshop about Open Data and especially data of the science of geoinformatics. The openstreetmap website, its use as a map and the possibilities of adding and / or modifying it through the accompanying iD software was also presented. 

Polatoglou Chariton: Professor of the Physics Department of the Aristotle University and Sitsanlis Elias, Physicist organized the workshop “From Earth to Mars”. In this workshop students had the opportunity to examine using an inquiry based method and appropriate simulations the possible orbits of a body within the gravitational field of a body of much larger mass, how we can move from one orbit to another, the Hofmann transition, the stages and the optimization of travel from Earth to Mars. 

The 9th ACSTAC will be held 10-12 March 2023
