Pilot schools
Being an Inspiring Science Pilot school means having a willingness to share best practice and the experience of using ICT in your education practices. You will have an opportunity to participate in activities that introduce students and teachers to science through the use of online resources and tools as well as receive training and support from a national contact (applies to project partner countries, see national contact points).
The Inspiring Science Education project is open to schools from all over Europe and will involve more than 5,000 schools in 13 different European countries during its lifetime. Schools that are actively participating are located in Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Finland, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Portugal, Romania, Spain, The Netherlands and UK.
Using the ISE Portal you can search, replicate and create lessons and educational scenarios for your students. You can easily provide data and structured feedback to the ISE consortium through the online resources.
