PROJECT GOALS and JUSTIFICATION

As said before, this project unites electricity on Earth and Space to celebrate the World Space Week. It is an interdisciplinary activity; 3º ESO students almost the whole task and then they share knowledge with younger students. By doing this activity we try to:

• emphasise the importance of STEM education in school
• motivate students to choose a STEM career in the future
• motivate students to be interested in STEM facts
• connect the official curriculum to real life and STEM
• raise awareness about the opportunities and facts that are around STEM 
• raise awareness about international events (WSW in this case) 

And, why submit to 'Diversity in STEM Competition', resources category?

Because this project is a learning resource, a lesson plan and all the material can be used by other STEM teachers. 

Moreover, it is based on a STEM topic, it has a pedagogical value and all the steps to develop the activity are described and set before starting the activity, some parts are inspired on STEM Allliance repository, it is composed of several activities that I think are attractive for students and all the activities and results, in cronological order, are collected using different methods and technology and all of them are finally join in this blog to make easier to other teachers and other interested people to find or reproduce the whole activity or a part of it.
