What is M-STEM LAB VR?

M-STEM LAB VR is a VR App (Metaverse Simulation) that is part of the M-STEM (Metaverse-Based STEM Education) project. The full project reference is 2023-1-FR01-KA220-SCH-000151516, a European educational initiative.

Key Components of the M-STEM Project

The complete M-STEM package includes:

  • A VR App (the Metaverse Simulation/Lab)
  • Staff training for teachers
  • Seven e-newsletters for ongoing support

Educational Goals

The primary goal is to increase the number of students pursuing STEM careers as a result of their experience with Metaverse technology in education.

The project aims to:

  • Develop and implement a novel education package incorporating Metaverse technology in STEM education
  • Train teachers on using Metaverse technology and integrating it into STEM teaching

Pedagogical Approach

In M-STEM VR pedagogy, teachers have an important role as mediators of digital learning experiences. The approach recognizes that:

  • VR classrooms designed with teachers and students in mind offer unique opportunities for teaching STEM subjects
  • Teachers are an indispensable part of M-STEM pedagogy
  • Resources must be evaluated for curricular relevance, effectiveness, and appropriateness for classroom conditions

Target Audience

The project specifically addresses today’s students who are technology-savvy and have different learning processes and goals compared to past generations, requiring different teaching approaches.

Project Context

The project responds to how advancements in Metaverse, VR, AR, and AI have become heavily integrated into daily life, creating a “new normal” of hyper-digitization.

The M-STEM project is developed in partnership with organizations including Colegio Séneca S.C.A. and aims to prepare students for sustainable and resilient futures through immersive STEM education.
