Project

Building confidence, motivation, and STEM identity.

Despite increasing demand for STEM professionals, some groups remain underrepresented in many STEM fields. ENerGISE addresses this challenge by supporting teachers, teacher educators, and academic staff in creating learning environments where all students can develop confidence, motivation, and a strong STEM identity.

The project combines research-based gender-inclusive pedagogy with real-world topics such as climate change, renewable energy, and sustainable development. Through international collaboration, ENerGISE develops and evaluates innovative teaching materials and a blended learning course that will be openly available across Europe.

Over three years, the consortium will design, implement, evaluate, and disseminate educational resources that contribute to more inclusive and future-oriented STEM education.

Focus

Science education for today's challenges.

Gender-Inclusive Pedagogy

Research-based approaches that help educators design learning spaces where all students can participate and see themselves in STEM.

Energy and Sustainability

Meaningful science lessons connected to climate change, renewable energy, sustainable development, and socio-scientific topics.

Digital Learning

Practical strategies, digital resources, and blended learning activities developed through the SIBLING programme.

Team

A European consortium for inclusive STEM education.

Learning Programme

SIBLING is the central learning programme developed within ENerGISE.

The blended learning course supports pre-service teachers, in-service teachers, academic staff, and informal educators in designing motivating and gender-inclusive STEM learning experiences.

After the project, SIBLING will remain freely available as an Open Educational Resource (OER), enabling educators across Europe to benefit from its materials and activities.
