The active role of citizens and their direct involvement is essential to address climate change. Changes in citizens’ and consumers’ behaviours towards more sustainable patterns can be boosted through education, awareness-raising, citizen science, observation, and monitoring their environmental impacts.
PARADIGM tools aim to use the appropriate technological infrastructure (devices, data platforms and tools) to empower the active engagement of citizens in taking action against climate change and for sustainable development through better monitoring and observing the environment and its environmental impacts.
The materials are accompanied by appropriate video tutorials and guides to help teachers introduce IoT-STEM teaching methodologies and guide them through the process of setting up and programming Arduino kits with sensors to take different measurements (air quality, energy consumption, quality of water...). More specifically, the e-learning course for teachers on environmental awareness consists of the following modules:
1. Strategies to raise environmental awareness
2. Pedagogical methodology
3. Environmental challenges (+ 15 developed learning scenarios)
4. Environmental observatories (+ video tutorials and guides)
5. Turning youth to digital scientific changemakers
