    3rd INNOBOX: SEARCH FOR THE MOST INNOVATIVE TEACHING AND LEARNING
    STEM RESOURCES

    Theme: STEM Resources for Remote Learning

    SEARCH RULES AND CRITERIA

    1. Description

    The InnoBox Project is a nationwide search for the most innovative teaching and
    learning resources (TLRs) which can be used in teaching both science and mathematics
    subjects. The search aims to encourage teachers to be innovative, creative and practical in
    teaching science and mathematics concepts to improve students’ performance in these
    subjects. It is open to all public and private elementary and secondary school teachers
    nationwide.

    For 2021, the search intends to recognize teaching and learning innovations that best
    respond to the challenges and opportunities of the changing education landscape brought
    about by disruptors like the COVID-19 pandemic and the 4th industrial revolution. The search
    also emphasizes innovations and initiatives that wholeheartedly embrace the
    interconnectedness among STEM disciplines and harness their synergy in solving real-world
    problems such as the ones currently faced by the education sector.

    2. Search Categories

    The 2021 Search will have two categories – (a) one for elementary level (Grades 1 – 6)
    and (b) one for the high school level (Grades 7 – 12). There will be two sub-categories for
    each:

    Digital Tools Teaching/Learning Devices and Materials


    These are resources with a centerpiece that These are resources that may include
    is an original software developed by the materials, supplies, and/or equipment that
    proponent(s) and is designed for either are originally designed, constructed, and
    stand-alone use or with other materials assembled into a set or unit by the
    and/or equipment. It can also be for either proponent(s). These resources must be
    online or offline use. These resources applicable and appropriate to at least
    must be applicable and appropriate to at five different lessons/topics across
    least five different lessons/topics across STEM subjects in the category.

    3.3 Collaboration with students, teachers, and other institutions in conceptualizing the
    proposed innovation is encouraged.

    3.4 The proposed teaching and learning resource should be used in teaching both science
    and mathematics concepts.

    3.5 The proposed teaching and learning resource must be largely original. In case the
    proposal builds on an existing resource, the proponent must acknowledge original
    authorship and indicate the modifications that have been made to the original work.

    3.6 The proposed teaching and learning resource must not have been awarded or given
