IRIM Institut za ravnopravnost i inovativnost mladih • (InstituteforYouth Development and Innovativity) • privately founded • makes • STEM Revolution______________________________________________STEM = Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math
What, where, for whom und whySTEM Revolution? What is to be done? Where? For whom? Why? • development of digital and scientific literacy • development of technological and other competences • in STEM field • for young people in and out of Croatia • to become equal citizens of the 21.century
The relationship to SOS-Children‘s Villages • Thefounderof IRIM, Nenad Bakić, Rotarian, • donated SOS-ChildrenVillage Lekenikmicro:bits • ChildrenfromtheVillages take part: • in the project „Croatian Makers” • in workshops of robotics • andprogramming
How should STEM Revolution be done? • Withmicro:bit ! • Whatismicro:bit? • mini-Computer • device for learning
What can we use micro:bit for? • micro:bitcanbeused for simplelearningof: • Programming • Elektronics • Digital Literacy • Design • Technology • Physics • ...
What is to be found in the BOX? • …you can find: • BBC micro:bit • USB Cabel • Battery • Application instructions
Until today micro:bits were • send for nocosts to: • more than 100 libraries • biblio-libraries • National Library More than 22.000 micro:bits were donated!
IRIM-CroatianMakersboost the development of • STEM-Programs in: • 950 schools& societies • othereducationalinstitutions • SOS-Children‘s Villagesin Croatia
What have children received? • ChildreninSOS Children‘s Villages in Croatia • on bothlocations(LekenikandLadmirovci) • receivedfromIRIM adequateequipment: • Robots, • Mikrocomputers, • Mikro:Bits,Laptops, Internet-Stuff-Kits

What is our luck today? • We have a extremely advantageous device - micro:bit • Anybodycanlearn how to programmwithit. • 2 (two)workshopsare enough, for the children in the Austrian SOS Children‘s Villages to learn this newtechnology and to start to use it.
Who prepares the education-materials? • IRIM-Instructorspreparematerials for education: • for teachers • for children • At the same time theyleave somecca. 20 micro:bitsfor the future activities at the spot.
