UTCB to host the DigiSTEM International Conference: Innovating Education through Digital Transformation
On the 10th of October, the Technical University of Civil Engineering Bucharest will be hosting the DigiSTEM International Conference: Innovating Education through Digital Transformation. The event will focus on an effective use of digital tools and resources in education from both pedagogical and technological perspectives, as well as concrete actions and examples of the usability of technology. The main objective of this event is to enhance HEI educators’ technological and pedagogical competencies on a large scale to achieve long-lasting effects in everyday activities of project partners and other European HEIs. Furthermore, it is expected to stimulate research and interaction between mathematicians and engineers in all aspects related to digital tools and educational resources from both pedagogical and technological perspectives.
During the event, the project partners will present the benefits and results of the project, showcasing their experiences in using the methodologies, platform, and guidelines. This element is expected to encourage more teaching and training professionals to use the results of the project in their education and curricula. During the conference, DigiSTEM will also aim to encourage more people to join the community.
The participants are invited to present their development in the field of STEM subjects. Furthermore, all the presentations will be collected into the project’s MOOC. All interested parties in the field of training and education of STEM subjects will be invited to participate and contribute to the conference. The event is open for all interested professionals.
