SySTEM 2020: Design principles and methods to support informal science learning

The SySTEM 2020 is a research and innovation project coordinated by Science Gallery Dublin, which focuses on science learning outside the classroom. Throughout the three-year project, the research actions have oriented towards mapping the field across Europe, evaluating a number of transdisciplinary programmes to design best principles for educators in this field, and also examining individual learning ecologies by piloting self-evaluation tools for learners which will document science learning outside of the classroom.

This presentation focuses on one of the project key outputs: a design principles and methods toolkit that targets educators working in informal science learning environments. The toolkit has been co-designed with project partners and informal science learning stakeholders.
