Description of the initiative
The main objective of the project is to increase students' interest in the continuation of learning in the later stages of education in the fields of critical importance to knowledge-based economy: technical, mathematical, scientific subjects and develop skills in using ICT.
The final product: Model-school work using innovative working methods and modern information technology. The final product is "interdisciplinary program of extra-curricular activities conducted by the project" implemented in the school, in higher education and the Copernicus Science Centre Science Centre or another. The final product consists of:
1) "An interdisciplinary program of extra-curricular activities conducted by the project". The product is accompanied by 36 video tutorials course of experiments conducted in the framework of the course.
2) "The concept of the use of e-learning" in the form of a guide for students and teachers. The guide contains information about the technical requirements for the implementation of the platform and the possibility of its use during the ongoing classes.
3) guide "How to use the project method", which contains a description of project activities and a description of the implementation of the program of extracurricular activities conducted by the project.
4) Tools to diagnose the interests of pupils learning science (for teachers).

The program includes instructional videos, which facilitate its implementation. This model includes an interdisciplinary approach. Lessons cover issues of several subjects with references to examples from real life. E.g. Chemistry, physics and mathematics in the kitchen and in the bathroom.
Teachers’ Opinion
The curriculum combining several subjects is very interesting. The topics are well matched to the level of students. Ten thematic areas were comprehensively developed. Suggested topics, such as: "Metals around us," or "How to live ecologically" fit well the lower secondary school curriculum. Another helpful feature for teachers are guides how to use the materials in teaching.
Students’ Opinion
Lessons scenarios are interesting. It is easier to understand various issues when they are presented with examples from everyday life. Lessons provide interesting examples of experiments that can be performed at home.
