How to participate
To participate in the Competition, teachers and educators need to submit an original Learning Scenario – in English – including at least one Open Schooling activity.
To build their Learning Scenario for submission, participants are invited to use the Open Schooling Navigator, which has been designed to guide educators into creating Open Schooling activities. With the use of the Open Schooling Navigator, participants are expected to design a series of lessons/activities that will engage students into real-life problems and with the local community.
Two tutorials on the use of the Open schooling Navigator are available here:
Behind the competition
Make it Open combines the philosophy of the maker movement with the inquiry-based approach of citizen science and the concept of Open Schooling to make science learning more accessible and transform schools from traditional educational institutions into community partnerships.
The competition is coordinated by European Schoolnet (EUN) and takes place under the 2023 STEM Discovery Campaign, which is a joint international initiative organised by Scientix to celebrate careers and studies in the fields of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM).
