2. Hacettepe STEM Lab. Academy
This Project created by Assoc. Prof. Gültekin Çakmakçı who
Works at Hacettepe University. He also president of STEM
Lab. Academy.
It has been carried out 10 training courses to STEM teachers
within the project up to now.
The Project has lasted for two years.

3. Each training events took two days within the
STEM Education.
480 STEM teachers took advantege of STEM
workshops in the scope of STEM Project.

4. Scope of the Project
What does it mean STEM?
Is STEM important or not! If STEM is important that’s why!
What can be done within the STEM for teachers and also for
pupils?
What kind of activities can be carried out with using STEM?

5. What does it mean Inquary based learnining?
What kind of stages does IBL has?
How can be configured a science course with using
IBL?
What does it mean Formative Assessment?
Formative Assessment is important or not! That’s
why!

6. We want our pupils…
Especially;
have creativity skills,
have innovation skills,
have entrepreneur skills,

7. What did we do?
 Firstly, STEM teachers were educated on STEM after that they educated
their pupils on STEM.
Teachers tried their pupils’ realising their potential on STEM.
Teachers carried out some activities with their pupils.
Robotics,
Digital games,
Crazy experiments on science education,
Lego studies,

8. National Conference on STEM
 Aims:
To see pojects’ results on STEM,
To gather researchers, STEM teachers, academicians,
pupils and their parents,
To support each of Professional expert’s experience,
Doing, Hands on actvities about STEM,
To Show why we have to develop STEM studies in Turkey,

9. The conference organised by Hacettepe University
Stem Lab. Academy.
Ministry of National Education supported this event.
Conference lasted two days and 26 different
workshops carried out during 7-8th September .
Each workshops did four times during conference.
