Capacity building in STEMS through IoT

Digital Transformation is turning society toward a cyber centred society; this enhanced and key role of cyber technology imposes the need to foster a culture of “cyber”. The key subjects to ensure this awareness are STEM. Several governments are fostering educational initiative in STEM as a key building block for a sustainable and harmonic digital society. This trend offers a key opportunity to the Global South to scale up its innovation and sustainability on the global scene. Among the different educational approaches Project Based Learning is particularly effective in this sector engaging students in the solution of concrete problems approaching STEM subjects as tools to solve them. This approach favours the so called “deep learning”, something that is deep rooted in students, we can assimilate it to the perceptive-motor method that humans use to learn how to ride a bicycle, putting the “hands on” and trying by themselves.
