This lecture will describe the program implement ation's main steps covering alignment with local educational system polici es and regulations\, the educator’s training\, the organization of the l earner’s activities and their assessments based on a project based metho dology. The IEEE STEM portal and the Try-Engineering lesson plans were the main resources used to build the teaching/training materials. Trained edu cators deployed educational robotics activities with their pupils\, and th en engaged them in a project building dynamic leading to a competition and demonstrations in a public event called “Nawadina”\, our clubs. The p rogram was developed as extracurricular clubs. Pre-interviews and a post-i nterview were arranged to measure how children perceived the robotics acti vities and eventually how those activities influenced their perception of STEM and engineering.\n\nFor more information\, visit [SSIT website](https ://technologyandsociety.org/)\n\nCo-sponsored by: SSIT IST-Africa SIGHT \n \nSpeaker(s): Dr. Nizar Rokbani\, \n\nAgenda: \n18:00 (UTC) Welcome and In troduction to Guest Speaker\n18:05 Lecture\n18:45 Questions and Discussion s\n\nVirtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/329719 LOCATION:Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/329719 ORGANIZER:miriam@iimg.com SEQUENCE:5 SUMMARY:IEEE SSIT Lecture: Design and Deployment of K-12 STEM Program in Tu nisia' Public Primary Schools URL;VALUE=URI:https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/329719 X-ALT-DESC:Description: <br /><p><a href="https://www.ieee-ukandireland.org /chapters/society-on-social-implications-of-technology/" target="_blank" r el="noopener">IEEE UK and Ireland SSIT Chapter</a> and SSIT IST-Africa SIG HT are cooperating to organise this SSIT Lecture as a joint Webinar.</p>\n <p>IEEE and SSIT Members as well as non-IEEE Members are invited to <a hre f="https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/329719" target="_blank" rel="noopener" >Register</a> and participate.
