• Most significant project ever funded by European Commission FP7 Science in Society programme targeting education
• € 8.3 M – 50% from EC funding
inGenious
• Unique consortium due to:
• Career focus
• Industry engagement
Pilot with 180 teachers selected each year- test and evaluate industry STEM education materials and activities -more than 12,000 pupils directly involved
ingenious-science.eu
Opportunities and advantages for
teachers
• Teaching materials and Practices available on inGenious portal: ingenious-science.eu
Israeli teachers and students in inGenious
during 2012-2014
• 2012-2013: 6 teachers• 2013-2014: 11 teachers• In 2 years: approximately 1000 out of
5000 Israeli students reached (based on the number of questionnaires they have been filled in so the real number might be higher)
ingenious-science.eu
• The highest interest in mathematics was reported by teachers from Northern Europe (56%), and Israel (55%).
Teachers’ achievements and results
• Pilot teachers in the South and EU partner countries were more likely to hold senior positions in schools, e.g. head of science department or subject lead. Hence, they were more likely to engage other STEM teachers and seek collaboration with other departments or school leadership than their colleagues in Northern Europe.
Total Number of Collected Practices - 152Practices tested by Israeli teachers - 7

Teachers’ achievements and results
Motivation for STEM jobs was significantly higher among students in the south of Europe and in Israel (66%) compared to the North Europe”
In Israel more that 86% of teachers have stated the inGenious and its activities had medium/high impact to their teaching and pupils

Opportunities and advantages for teachers
Participate in face to face Scientix workshops and online webinars
The Science Projects Workshops in the Future Classroom Lab (SPW@FCL) bring together STEM teachers working on different EC funded projects. The programme always includes general sessions designed by the lead project, as well as presentations by the collaborating projects. Parallel sessions with specific programmes for each project also take place. The workshops encourage the integration of the projects’ content and best practices into the setting and facilities of the FCL.
