Deadline: 10-Jun-22
The British International Education Association (BIEA) is accepting applications for its STEM 2022 Spring Challenge.
The British International Education Association (BIEA) is a not-for-profit organisation with head office in London. Their mission is to promote British education to emerging international education markets, primarily in China and UAE, but also in other countries. BIEA works to meet the needs and challenges in the international education.
Schools and education are considered one of the most important factors in helping future generations exist in harmony with the natural environment. Achieving inclusive and quality education for all is Goal Four of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. Education, where all young people complete primary and secondary school education, is seen as one of the most powerful factors towards a sustainable, more equitable future.
Many things can contribute to making access to education difficult. Natural disasters such as flooding, drought, landslide, earthquake and wildfires, and man-made catastrophes, such as territorial conflict and war, can destroy school buildings, making education inaccessible for young people.
This BIEA STEM Project is flexible so there are no wrong answers – they just want you to show us how creative and innovative you can be!
Project Outline
- Produce a presentation to give to your local council or local leaders outlining your designs for a new school. You can use the Internet, books and media articles to research information and use this to develop new design ideas for your school buildings.
- Optional video – this is not compulsory for the entry. They encourage you to make a short simple video (less than 3 min) about anything you want to share about your project. The video could be about what inspired your designs, project evaluation, challenges you faced during the project and how you overcame them. Keep it fun and creative! Please don’t use copyrighted images or music for the video.
- A team photo – in high resolution (file size between 1MB to 5MB), please.
