Of the 30 countries that were surveyed in a 2016 study on this topic, 80% described STEM education (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) as currently a priority area at national level. At the same time, EU countries are still labouring to decrease the number of low achievers in science. Teaching these subjects is a great responsibility for a teacher – and a great challenge, too. How can you motivate your students? How can you instil in them all the enthusiasm, all the wonder that the sciences are due? Here are four steps to help transform science lessons.

At the heart of the teaching and learning process is a magical dialogue between teacher and student. It manifests itself in the glinting eyes of comprehension and creativity. This article outlines the steps we have taken to create a vision for teaching using digital technologies, and how we “assist discovery” by developing computational thinking.

"I liked writing computer programs, now called 'coding', when I had the time to enjoy it and do it well and that is what drives me to go back to it, but I know many people who studied at the same time as me who hated coding and could not wait to stop having to do it", writes Rose Luckin.
