We conducted a national survey on the status quo of education in Spain, Turkey and the Netherlands and the existence of STEM education, which is still in its infancy. We designed questionnaires for teachers, parents, and students for a study on knowledge (and needs) about education in general and STEM in particular. We interviewed these audiences and handed over our national collections and reports to Istanbul Aydın University as all partners. Aydın University prepared one of the activities, Needs Analysis/National Gap Analysis. In cooperation with Storybag and Aydın University, we prepared a STEM+A Storytelling guidebook. We also created and designed a working template on how to apply a hands-on storytelling approach in education. (Guidebook implementation part) assessment of needs, creating a project, capturing information, collaboration, problem solving and finding a solution and reporting on the process - (individual workpiece). Following this, the Turkish and Spanish partners implemented it in their own schools in their own way. Application results were measured and reported by pre- and post-tests. The results were shared with all partners. (The all reports has been uploaded to the appendices)
