Education

From primary schools to universities, Digital DIY technologies are already generating new teaching and learning approaches both in and outside the STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics) domain.

Investigating the link between DiDIY and education, it clearly emerged the different paces between technology evolution and the current formal educational structure, whereby the first unveils new teaching opportunities almost daily while the second lags behind, slowly absorbing novelty.
Innovating education is not possible without innovating teaching schemes. Awareness and participation of teachers is mandatory to share best practices and starting a virtuous cycle.

The DiDIY Project  has studied the transformations that Digital DIY is already producing, or may produce, in European education and research, in order to produce guidelines that maximize the positive impacts of Digital DIY on the quality of such systems.

To understand this side of DiDIY, and what should be done about it, we suggest you to look at the following studies, proposals and other resources by the DiDIY Project, listed here from the least to the most complex:
