We had a meeting with the teachers at our school for the STEM Discovery Week event one month before the event and we discussed what we can do at the event. We used the resources to determine the activities we will do. When determining STEM activities, we made sure that more students could do it, and that it was simple and inclusive. We supplied construction materials. We marked in the STEM Discovery Week map that we had planned this event in Yalova Kardelen Secondary school garden in Turkey, on Thursday 25 Th April 2019 at 13.00 – 15.30. We made announcements at school through posters and social media.

On the day of the event, we wanted all of the students to go to the school yard. We opened 9 workshops under the leadership of 9 different branches. The workshops took place in tents which we built in the school’s garden.
