PRACTISES
inGenious brings together teachers and industry to excite students
about science, technology, engineering and maths (STEM).
A key goal of inGenious is the identification and sharing of teaching
practices developed by industry to communicate the value of STEM
and stimulate young people’s interest in STEM subjects.
Practices can be industry visits, hands-on experiments, games and
competitions.

FUTURE
CLASSROOM LAB
http://fcl.eun.org/
Film
European Schoolnet initiative,
consists of a room designed as an
interactive classroom to illustrate
how a traditional classroom setting
can use technology to enhance
interactivity and student
participation, plus a large
reconfigurable open space
(divided into five learning ‘zones’)
equipped with technology.
10. European undetakings supporting the use

Future Classroom Lab will be used as an environment to:
– Stimulate discussions and illustrate practice related to a range of current and
prospective innovative teaching and learning scenarios.
- Provide hands-on training facilities for teachers, head teachers and ICT advisers.
- Act as a venue for meetings, workshops and events for Ministries of Education,
regional education authorities and commercial partners.
- Provide a platform where teachers, policy makers, practitioners and ICT suppliers
can come together in order to rethink how teaching and learning can take place in 21st
century classrooms and other learning spaces.
