BioTEK-Future

Strengthening STEM education through innovative and different experiences in new educational programs.

Background and Purpose

The purpose of the project is to strengthen children and young people's technological and scientific curiosity and inspire more young people to choose education and careers in the STEM field in Biotekbyen Kalundborg.

In Kalundborg Municipality , companies, primary schools, secondary schools and higher education collaborate to strengthen STEM education through Kalundborg Skoletjenesten, which Knowledge Hub Zealand also manages. With both Skoletjenesten and BioTEK-Future, students experience how learning is directly linked to education and career opportunities through new and different courses in food and robotics.

Process and Result

40 teachers and 600 students have participated in the project, which supports a strategic effort to strengthen collaboration and create synergies along and across the STEM education chain in Kalundborg Municipality.

In collaboration with local companies, the BioTEK-Future program has facilitated the development of 16 educational programs within the themes of food science and robotics for primary school grades 5-6 and for upper secondary education.
