Abstract

The aim of this educational school project was to inspire young children around STEMs and for STEM professions to empower them to cope with stereotypes in this field and discrimination in the professional field to work together in favour of integration and diversity (in and outside the school). That is why the effort to build a ramp for disabled people was chosen as a single topic. This project is a collaborative project involving two minority primary schools and a Turkish high school. The topic was covered by a cross-curricular approach to STEM. STEM professionals visited one of the schools, where they presented their profession and received questions from students via teleconference. A workshop of engineering followed. Students used traditional and modern engineering tools to make measurements. The data they collected from their measurements were processed in a mathematics lab, where they designed a ramp for the school.
