The goal of the package is to enable teachers to enrich the offer from the STEM field and approach teaching in a different way so that they can offer their students broader knowledge and enable the development of key skills for a higher level of education in the field of natural sciences, technology, engineering and mathematics. A large number of students studying in science and mathematics high schools wants to continue their further education in this direction, which is why it is crucial to develop the knowledge and skills essential for the STEM field in specific examples and problems. Some of these skills are, for example, planning and conducting research, observing natural processes, analyzing results, creating and analyzing models that describe research results and the behavior of certain systems, testing and applying models, drawing conclusions, etc. Also, part of technology and engineering is poorly represented in subjects that we meet in schools of this type in Croatia. In order to be able to fully integrate STEM into education, students should also be offered something that enables them to develop knowledge and abilities that will be useful for further education in this direction. The goal is to create materials and activities that will support teachers in developing students’ knowledge and skills in STEM education and, during this process, bring together teachers from different fields in order to succeed in developing quality materials. At the same time, the activities from this package would also develop digital skills that will help teachers and students involved in the project in their further professional development. After the completion of the project, everything designed and tested during the project can be used in the STEM education of students of any interested school with an emphasis on science and mathematics.

The main output of the package will be materials and activities that can be used in the STEM education of students and implemented in the curricula of schools focused on STEM education. The development of materials and activities would go in three directions:
