Comments

• a brilliant idea to combine STEM and environmental issues. Environment in STEM is quite innovative in this model.
  • The same ambition level but more clearly focused, might have been beneficial.
• Some tasks could be combined more effectively. Budget.
• The need has not arisen in school's own needs.
• to promote girls' and women's role in STEM; however, it does not really address this issue very strongly.

• AI-driven simulations and ESA satellite data, with Arduino technology, girls' interest!
• All partners are developing STEM education
• The proposal is based on a genuine and suitable needs analysis concerning using digital tools for environmental analysis (OECD 2023)
  • the project seems to bring something to schools that they have not identified as a need themselves. The proposal is complementary to other initiatives already carried out by the participating organisations. . .
• The proposal is relevant for the respect and promotion of shared EU values
• inclusion and diversity have been taken into account in the project plan quite in passing
  • how other schools can adopt the project results smoothly, even though the platform being developed is free of charge.

<quote> The proposal is relevant for the respect and promotion of shared EU values, such as digital transformation, environmental sustainability and equitable Europe for example by remote sensing /Arduino modules into classroom activities. The proposal is innovative because it combines AI-tools, sensing data from ESA's Copernicus programem so that students can explore real-world environmental challenges: The proposal bridges the gap between scientific data and practical application. </quote>
