DONATE

Science Education

As part of our core mission to bring our results back to society, IBEC develops science education projects to contribute to the democratization of science, bringing research closer to different profiles of society and, at the same time, promotes scientific vocations.

GOALS

  1. Bringing science closer to society.
    All the proposed activities seek to bring the research projects that are being developed at IBEC closer to society. We want the public to get closer to the research that is being done, and to meet its protagonists.
  2. Awake and consolidate scientific vocations.
    We want young people to take an interest in science and technology, but we also want those who are already interested to consolidate it.

OUR VISION

  • We seek to contribute to science education by maintaining a close dialogue with teachers and students, which allows us to adapt our projects to the reality of the classroom and strengthen the educational curriculum.
  • We ensure gender diversity in all proposed activities, reinforcing the figure of women in science.
  • We want to ensure that our activities are inclusive and adapted to functional diversity.
  • We propose integrating projects that seek the participation of different sectors of society.
  • The approach to challenges and the promotion of autonomous learning are common features of the activities we carry out, thus reinforcing the critical spirit.

TARGET AUDIENCE

  • Primary school students (between 3 and 12 years old)
  • High school students (between 13 and 18 years old)
  • Lifelong learners
  • Primary and secondary school teachers

ACTIVE EDUCATION PROGRAMES

The educational projects that we develop at IBEC currently are structured into 6 programs: Social Impact, Inclusion, Territory, Citizen Science, Scientific Vocations, and Art and Science.

TRAINING AND PEDAGOGICAL INNOVATION

The training and pedagogical innovation program encompasses projects that cause a positive change in our social environment.

The STEAM Angeleta Ferrer project puts a secondary school in direct contact with the BIST research centres. This alliance will allow the institute to become a training centre for teachers in the STEAM areas, in addition to making innovative teaching experiences in the field of science available to the educational community.

The Postgraduate Course in Innovation in Science Education coordinated by Fundació Catalunya la Pedrera and BIST aims to train the new professionals on the field on non-formal scientific education. 

IBEC as a BIST member has been involved in the creation and has a role at the academic direction.

The programme combines innovation, leadership, communication, and project management to design and implement initiatives that enhance the learning of science and technology.
