Treccani and Leonardo Foundation for the dissemination of Stem skills at school

A partnership between Edulia dal Sapere Treccani and Fondazione Leonardo-Civiltà delle Macchine Ets aimed at promoting and spreading Stem (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) skills at school was announced on 21 March at Fiera Didacta. The free project, "A scuola di STEM con Fondazione Leonardo", will be available online for the school year 2024-2025 on a dedicated section of "In classe", the integrated digital didactics platform of Edulia Treccani Scuola that has just been renewed and enhanced.

There will be a lot of quality educational content created especially for teachers and students: multimedia lessons, tests and video lectures on different topics, such as the technologies of today and tomorrow, robotics, sustainability, the city of the future and mobility.The content, details of which will be announced in the coming months, is designed to meet different learning needs, from primary school to secondary school.

"Stem education is an essential pillar for the empowerment of the new generations and for consciously facing the challenges of the 21st century successfully," said Cristina Pozzi, CEO of Edulia dal Sapere Treccani. "Digital tools, in particular, can help spread Stem skills in a more effective, engaging and accessible way, reaching a very wide audience of male and female students. Leonardo and Treccani join forces in a project of strategic importance for the country thanks to Leonardo's ability to create high quality content and Edulia's knowledge of the school world, which knows how to use the levers of digital in favour of didactics and teacher training".

"In our country there is an extreme need for technical-scientific skills and at the same time there is a need to review the way education is done in schools," emphasises Helga Cossu, general director of Fondazione Leonardo-Civiltà delle Macchine Ets. "This is why the Leonardo Foundation has decided to intervene in the field of education with the production of ad hoc multimedia content, capable of supporting students and teachers towards teaching and learning methods that are more suited to respond to the complexity of the challenges posed by the digital age. Together with Edulia, we have defined a path aimed at spreading knowledge and scientific culture with an innovative language dedicated to students starting from the fifth grade'.
The project "At Stem School with Leonardo Foundation" is an evolution of the partnership born in 2020 between Leonardo Foundation-Civiltà delle Macchine Ets and Treccani Scuola.
