SENSEE - STEM EntrepreNeurShip for
Everyone and Everywhere
Children aged 6-12 benefit greatly from engaging in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) because it fosters critical thinking, creativity, problem-solving skills, and a passion for innovation. Those early experiences can set a strong foundation for future academic and career success.
SENSEE aim is twofold: to develop STEM skills and competencies and an entrepreneurial mindset in students aged 6-12, particularly those with fewer learning opportunities. The initiative fosters increased participation in non-formal learning activities that combine STEM and entrepreneurial experiences.
Additionally, SENSEE supports teachers and trainers in enhancing the development of STEM and entrepreneurial competencies among their student for their curricula and classes.
