Project “Capacity building of STEM tutors for providing distance learning (Going the Distance)” will focus on providing to STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics) tutors and to robotics trainers in specific with the necessary digital competences as well as pedagogical skills, in order to be able to organize and execute successful distance learning schemes addressed to their students and learners.

More specifically, we have designed this project in order to:

1. Identify the STEM tutors’ specific needs during the COVID-19 period
2. Distinguish from other free relevant digital tools that are of poor quality
3. Navigate them on how to deal with the social repercussions identified mainly on youngsters because of the lack of actual contact
4. Prepare a new training curriculum for tutors and develop innovative digital support materials
5. Train the tutors on how to make effective use of the above, assess the educational content and receive feedback
6. Create an open distance learning platform with online courses, webinars, tutorials, evaluation based on electronic badges,
