The STEMbot project intends to offer an inclusive and innovative way of learning and teaching, suitable for global challenges in todays’ world, that will help avoid the drop of interest for STEM subjects among students.
With the help of a chatbot, a computer programme using Artificial Intelligence (AI) that can conduct conversations, students get access to videos of practical experiments and thus see how science works in the real world, instead of only on paper. Our methodology will integrate inclusive elements for disadvantaged learners, especially the ones with Specific Learning Disorders (such as dyslexia or dyscalculia).
Students will be able to chat with the chatbot at any given time and in any given place, be it at school or at home. The chatbot allows for more personalised and self-empowered learning as students will be able to ask questions and choose which subjects to work on.
Project results:
- The chatbot STEMbot on Messenger and Instagram
- The introductory guide “STEM: from interest to integration” based on existing literature
- 20 science experiments video tutorials
- 20 lessons and at least 5 FAQs and exercises on every topic addressed in the videos
- Pedagogical guide on how to use the STEM bot based on literature and expert’s recommendation
- Creation guide on how to create a chatbot for STEM learning
