Cyprus: VET Schools as makerspaces for NEETs and drop-outs

Here is a sneak peek from our latest event, organised by CIP at the Avgorou VET School in Cyprus.

Educators and students were informed on how makerspaces can boost NEETs’ and early school leavers’ understanding of the working life, fostering their entrepreneurial skills, as well as stimulating an interest in STEM competences and VET careers among young learners.

Fifteen VET educators & students and two staff members of C.I.P familiarized the participants with microcontrollers by introducing them to different design-thinking methods of developing products, services, or strategies to create various applications.
