Science Education

Increasing digitization in all areas, which is crucial for innovation, growth, employment, and competitiveness, requires new digital skills. The demand for new skills requires a transformation of education and learning. Schools can no longer be seen as isolated learning environments. As digital technology permeates every aspect of society, it will become increasingly necessary to combine formal, non-formal and informal learning opportunities that take place inside and outside the school. The VCLA designs activities which allow teachers and pupils to learn about the basic concepts of the digitalized society in playful formats.

The activities are aimed at school children and teens in German-speaking countries. The experiments take place at the festivals for science education, workshops, or are home-based.  The researchers are also communicating directly with the teachers at the national and international conventions, and digitally.
