Name: Promoting inclusion and a STEM curriculum in schools through the use of tangible programming concepts and activities STEM skilled labour force has been, is and will be in high-demand in Europe. EU will have up to 825.000 ICT job vacancies by 2020 difficult to fill due to the shortage of skilled labour force. The project aims to produce and deliver a set of educational resources and materials to promote and support the effective use of tangible programming tools and concepts by teachers in daily classrooms (at primary level schools) while teaching STEM-based subjects. These resources will enable teachers of introducing tangible programming concepts and STEM-based subjects, to young students, in a funny, engaging, pedagogical and inclusive way. Tangible programming is a language similar to text or visual programming languages, but instead of using words/pictures on a computer screen, it uses physical objects to represent different programming elements, commands, and flow-of-control structures.
