Hisa eksperimentov hosted the SENSEE Pilot Test at Primary School Blanca on September 5, 2023.

The Pilot Test included a non-formal learning activity in STEM/Entrepreneurship Education that was applied and delivered to ten primary school teachers.

Gadget Guess - guessing which gadget it is from the parts presented and discussing technology was the learning activity implemented.

On the 30th of September 2023, the European University Cyprus organized the 2nd SENSEE pilot test at Agros Village Primary School. They participated almost 25 primary school students with their families in 2 non-formal STEM and Entrepreneurship learning activities.

The activities focused on:
✔Problem-based learning.
✔Critical thinking
✔Collaborative learning
✔Reflective practice
✔Challenging learning

The 2-non formal learning activities implemented:
✔ Paper airplane: Participants design, build, and test paper airplanes to learn about aerodynamics and physics, applying STEM concepts in a hands-on activity.

✔ Stations: wooden skewers tower, plastic/recycled cups tower, and catapult. All activities fostered children's and their family's creativity, imagination, and collaborative skills. The element of challenge increased the participants’ interest significantly.

🎉 On the 30th of September, GrantXpert Consulting hosted the 2nd SENSEE Pilot Test in Agros Village, Cyprus!

We brought together enthusiastic primary school students and their supportive parents for an incredible day of learning and fun. 📚

During the SENSEE Pilot Test, we rolled out two engaging non-formal learning activities focused on STEM/Entrepreneurship Education:

1️⃣ The Game of Brands: Students got a taste of marketing by designing their own cool products and analysing the 4Ps (Product, Price, Promotion, and Place). 🚀

2️⃣ Matching Professions: Through real-life scenarios, our young learners explored various professions, discovering the essential skills needed for their dream careers. 🌈

This event was made possible within the exciting Erasmus+ project "Sensee - STEM Entrepreneurship for Everyone and Everywhere" 🌍

Welcome to the SENSEE Project page!



The development of key competences related to STEM and entrepreneurship, including data literacy and the so-called 21st century skills, plays a direct role in driving economic growth and is set high on the priority list of the European Commission. STEM and entrepreneurship are more closely linked than ever before, as the competencies required in STEM (i.e., creativity, problem-solving, foresight, and adaptability) are aligned with core entrepreneurial skills.

In response to the above, our consortium partners will join forces, for producing tangible and intangible outcomes that will provide learning opportunities to groups of primary school students (6-12 years old) and families that do not have easy or regular access to developing STEM and entrepreneurial core competences and skills.
