Currently sponsored by Findel International Education Resources and Philip Harris, the CASTME Award Scheme has been honouring and sharing best practices in the STEM
disciplines of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics that demonstrate the importance of STEM to local environments, institutions and communities [1].
"Awards are offered for educational activities or projects which address the social or human context of STEM: any communities, groups or individuals involved in STEM education in its widest sense: formal or informal, within pre-school, school, college, university or life-long learning situations. In-depth submissions are sought about teaching and learning methods or projects on any STEM activity," informs CASTME Newsletter [2} adding that if one who is interested or has any queries, should supply full name and full address to CASTME Vice Chair (Awards) Kathleen Nugent at kath.nugent1@gmail.com. Often, the entries are submitted by August 31 unless the deadline is extended.
The three Awards now granted by Findel International Education Resources are:
1 The Findel CASTME Education Award: for entries which develop an innovative approach to increasing STEM awareness in the everyday world.
2 The Findel CASTME Protect our Planet Award: for entries which focus on the Sustainable Development Goals such as Climate Change, Responsible Consumption and Clean Water.
3 The Findel CASTME Community Award: for entries which focus on mothers, carers and/or on raising awareness of STEM in the community.
The entries are judged by a panel of experts with the successful entry in each category formally announced at the ASE Annual Conference early in the following January, its added.
