Learning is becoming less institutionalized. It takes place at many places, inside and outside the school classroom. That is why we, as part of <a href=\"https:\/\/system2020.education\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">the European project SySTEM 2020<\/a>, want to gain more insight in science learning outside the classroom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">And you can contribute to this!<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We invite STE(A)M learning initiatives that operate outside the classroom to put themselves on the SySTEM 2020 map by filling in our questionnaire. The map is an interactive data visualisation through which you can explore organisations and STE(A)M activities across Europe. Put your activity on the map and gain insight in other science learning activities, gain visibility through this Europe-wide network and expand your network.
