Impact article

The article in Impact, Volume 2018, Number 9, December 2018, pp. 47-49, written by Katsouros Vassilis, from Athena Research and Innovation Centre dealing with iMuSciCA is now published in open access on the world’s largest resource for scholarly publications, IngentaConnect.

 

iMuSciCA – through engagement in music activities – supports mastery of core academic content on STEM subjects (Physics, Geometry, Mathematics, and Technology) for secondary school students (aged 12-16) alongside with the development of their creativity and deeper learning skills. To reach this goal, iMuSciCA introduces new methodologies and innovative technologies supporting active, discovery-based, collaborative, personalised, and more engaging learning.

iMuSciCA concert

On October 19, in France, the public was sensitized to iMuSciCA thanks to an exceptional evening that took place in a concert hall, also a music school, at La Source, in Fontaine.
The musicians from the iMuSciCA team, as well as two students who tested the solution during a pilot course, offered to give a concert based on iMuSciCA tools.
The evening was also marked by a presentation of iMuSciCA via a demonstration zone that appealed to the public (students, teachers, researchers, musicians, journalists).
