The program is a collaboration between the non-profit organization STEM Education and the European Junior Engineer Academy network. The European Junior Engineer Academy (JEA) network was set up to promote STEM skills to young Europeans as these skills are considered essential for modern European societies.
It aims to awaken an early interest in technology-related professions and to inform junior high school students (aged 12 to 15) about the different careers and careers that an engineer can pursue.
The JEA promotes the importance of STEM training with a particular emphasis on technology.
The program was initially introduced in 99 schools in Germany.
Since 2016, the JEA program has been used to build partnerships in schools in Central, Eastern and Southeastern European countries.
The program is aimed at 7th and 8th grade students
It will initially be implemented in 15 Public Schools. Its future expansion is envisaged.
