This Project created by Assoc. Prof. Gültekin Çakmakçı who
Works at Hacettepe University. He also president of STEM
Lab. Academy.

3. Scope of the Project
What does STEM mean?
Is STEM important or not! If STEM is important that’s why!
What can be done within the STEM for teachers and also for
students?
What kind of activities can be carried out with using STEM?

4. What does Inquary Based Learning mean?
What kind of stages does IBL has?
How can be configured a science course with using
IBL?
What does Formative Assessment mean?
Formative Assessment is important or not! That’s why!

5. What did we do?
 Firstly, STEM teachers were educated on STEM after that they
educated their students on STEM.
 It has been carried out 10 training courses to STEM teachers within
the project up to now.
 480 STEM teachers took advantage of from this Project.

6.  Each training events took two days which are related STEM.
 Teachers tried their students’ realising their potential.
 Teachers carried out some activities with their students.
 Robotics,
 Digital games,
 Crazy experiments on science education,
 Lego studies,

7. National Conference on STEM
 Aims:
 To see pojects’ results on STEM,
 To gather researchers, STEM teachers, academicians, students and their parents,
 To support each of Professional expert’s experience,
 Doing, Hands on actvities about STEM,
 To Show why we have to develop STEM studies in Turkey,

8. The conference organised by Hacettepe University
Stem Lab. Academy.
