F-Steam 2019

F-STEAM Plasencia 2019 is the final product of the Erasmus+ STEMcooking project: Discovering Science and Maths through cooking.

This fair has an international character, since not only students from our centre participate in it, but also students from all over Extremadura and those from Croatia, France and Ireland involved in our Erasmus+ project.

F-STEAM Plasencia 2019 arose from a shared initiative, the commitment to favour citizens participation in the scientific processes, the promotion of scientific vocations among school children and young people, the development of teaching-learning models based on research, the enhancement of social and economic usefulness of science and technology as well as the attractive career prospects and,

exchange of good educational practices among teachers favouring innovation and research from the educational field.

Its purpose is to create an educational, cultural and recreational space that allows the exchange, dissemination and communication of scientific knowledge.
