Ark of Inquiry is a European funded project that involves 13 partners from 12 countries. The project aims to raise awareness of pupils to Responsible Research and Innovation (RRI) by promoting an interest in science through inquiry learning.  The overall aim of the Ark of Inquiry project is to create a “new science classroom”, one which would provide more challenging, authentic and higher-order learning experiences and more opportunities for pupils to participate in scientific practices and tasks, using the discourse of science and working with scientific representations and tools. In the Ark of Inquiry project a platform is developed through which carefully selected inquiry-based activities are made widely available across Europe. This platform brings together inquiry-based activities, learners and supporters (teachers, university students, researchers, staff of museums and universities). The Ark of Inquiry project provides face-to-face training for teachers so that they will be able to support and motivate the pupils in their inquiry-based activities. Furthermore, supportive web-based materials are available for all of the supporters working with the Ark of Inquiry project.
