The partner consortium of the STEM in the Clouds project has developed the educational online board game “STEM in the Clouds”, which is available to the general public as of today!

The online board game, a memory-style game, teaches its players about life in space – more precisely, about astrobiology, the International Space Station, space technologies, the ethics of human activity in space, and how organisms adapt to different conditions on Earth and in space. The game can be played solo or in a group of several players and, besides plenty of fun, it guarantees a lot of new and interesting knowledge about space!

The project “STEM in the Clouds” was submitted to the public call “Strengthening the capacity of CSOs to respond to the needs of the local community” (UP.04.2.1.11) under the European Social Fund, Operational Programme “Efficient Human Resources” 2014–2020. By a decision of the Office for Cooperation with NGOs of the Government of the Republic of Croatia dated 17 June 2022, the project was awarded HRK 464,562.46, of which the grant amounts to 100% (85% from the European Social Fund and 15% from the State Budget of the Republic of Croatia).

The lead partner of STEM in the Clouds is the Rijeka Technical Culture Centre, and the project consortium is made up of the Višnjan Astronomical Society, Bioteka – Association for the Promotion of Biology and Related Sciences, CARPE DIEM, an association for encouraging and developing the creative and social potential of children, young people and adults, and FabLab – Association for the Promotion of Digital Fabrication.
