DIVE into Learning: Inclusive STEAM Education through Low-Cost Underwater Robots

The DIVE project aims to transform STEM education by fostering social inclusion, empowering teachers, and improving student engagement. The project will:

• Promote the inclusion of Refugee/Migrant/Minority youth through high-quality project-based learning.
• Train and support multicultural teachers with innovative, interdisciplinary methodologies.
• Enhance student performance by integrating STEM/STEAM approaches.
• Develop and implement a tested curriculum on low-cost underwater robotics and marine science.

During its three-year implementation, the project will design innovative lesson plans for STEM teaching in upper secondary education. In the first year, it will create lesson plans and assessment tools aligned with the curricula. In the second year, it will train a core group of English teachers to implement and improve the lesson plans. In the third year, the trained teachers will train more teachers who will implement the curriculum in multicultural schools in the participating countries, establishing a network of teachers for collaboration and sustainability of the project.

Expected outcomes include:

• A transformative curriculum changing how STEM is taught and learned, emphasizing Technology, Engineering, and Marine Sciences.
• A collection of culturally relevant lesson plans designed for diverse learners.
• A training program for 260 teachers across Spain, Greece, and Portugal.
• Direct impact on 4000 students through the implementation of the DIVE curriculum.
