When individual pupils make projects with companies
When individual pupils make projects with companies
In primary school and secondary schools the pupils often make individual projects which are either experimental or oriented towards the world outside the school. In either case is it relevant to collaborate with a company.
In the second week we will focus on the questions
- Which pupils will benefit from an individual project at a company?
- How is a project for an individual prepared by the pupil, the teacher, the company?
- How do we prepare experimental projects within the subjects of STEM?
- What should we pay particular attention to?
- How do we secure the level of the work performed and the report is sufficiently high?
- How is the relation made?
- Should the pupil be included in the preparation?
- How do we obtain a fruitful triangle of relation between the pupil, the company supervisor and the teacher?
- What are the differences of the roles of the teacher and the company supervisor?
- How do we align expectations? And when? And who participate?
- What is the timeline of such a collaboration?
