STEM at Anatolia College
The Anatolia College STEM Center coordinates activities in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics, fostering 21st-century skills in both primary and secondary education.
Anatolia College has adopted a STEM approach both in the classroom, with inquiry-based units, and outside the classroom through clubs and after-school and weekend programs. We provide our students with the knowledge and opportunity to apply it, nurturing skills that will enable them to succeed and adapt in a constantly changing environment.
STEM in Kindergarten
In our Kindergarten, the STEAM program (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics) is integrated into the daily curriculum of our young learners. Through play, creative activities, and simple experiments, students are given the opportunity to explore and discover the world around them in a fun and enjoyable way. The STEAM program strengthens essential skills such as observation, exploration, and creativity, promoting children's development in a structured and encouraging manner. These activities contribute to the early development of knowledge and creativity.
STEM in Elementary School
The STEM Center organizes activities that complement the elementary school curriculum. Our students have the opportunity to discover and explore the world around them through creative experiments and fun laboratory activities. The STEAM program promotes a systematic approach to science, strengthening observation, experimentation, and analytical skills in a fun and organized manner. These activities contribute to the development of students' knowledge and creativity.
STEM in Middle and High School
The STEAM pedagogical approach (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, Mathematics) aims to cultivate 21st-century skills such as critical thinking, creativity, empathy, collaboration, technological literacy, communication, and social responsibility. At Anatolia High School, STEAM is applied both in the classroom, through inquiry-based learning, and outside, through clubs and programs, providing students with the necessary knowledge and the opportunity to apply it.
Anatolia College supports experiential learning and talent development, while innovation and social responsibility are at the heart of its education. Innovative spaces have been created, such as the Innovation Isle with the Fabrication Lab and the Green Chemistry Center, which allow students to build and experiment with innovative ideas. Additionally, the Anna Papageorgiou STEM Center, completed in 2020, offers modern facilities and tools for teaching the natural sciences, strengthening the school's new educational paradigm.
For the 2024-2025 school year, the goal of Anatolia College STEAM is to encourage students to engage in activities that promote technological literacy, such as robotics and automation, and in green education programs that foster environmental awareness and sustainable behavior.
In this context, Anatolia College is organizing the 11th Anatolia College Science & Technology Annual Conference - ACSTAC on May 2nd, 3rd, and 4th, 2025, which invites students from schools in Greece and abroad to present research papers, developing research, collaboration, and communication skills. This year's conference focuses on the connection of STEAM with social responsibility and the encouragement of women in the STEAM field.
Through collaborations with research institutions, the Anna Papageorgiou STEM Center aims to involve students and teachers in innovative activities and expose them to cutting-edge technologies. To this end, it actively participates in European and international programs, in collaboration with universities and organizations, aimed at developing innovative educational approaches and promoting contemporary scientific knowledge.
