FRONTIERS Online Summer School 2020

The FRONTIERS e-Summer School is an online training course for science teachers motivated to introduce Nobel Prize Physics to their Classrooms. Its objectives are:

• The introduction of the participants to the FRONTIERS pedagogical design and its proposed activities for bringing Nobel Prize Physics to the classroom.
   
• The co-creation of a series of educational activities by the teachers in collaboration with their peers and FRONTIERS experts that will be shared to all schools in Europe.
   
• The discussion of the merits and barriers of introducing Nobel Prize Physics to the Classroom and presentation of the FRONTIERS methodology to achieve that.

FRONTIERS is a EU funded project coordinated by a consortium of European institutions in the field of research in Physics, Science Education Research, and education and outreach networks.

The FRONTIERS e- Summer School is organized under the auspices of the European School Innovation Academy (ESIA) and is supported by the REINFORCE EU project.
