Summary/Abstract: The paper elaborates the concept of the Intelligent School as a constituent of the smart city and as a bridge linking education, natural sciences, and technological innovation. The paper follows the evolution of the concept of the smart city and introduces the intelligent school as a micromodel of urban sustainable development. Special attention is paid to STEM education as the core of the intelligent school, with a focus on pedagogical innovations, the teachers' role, and challenges related to teachers' professional preparedness. The technological infrastructure of the intelligent school is covered by the convergence of IoT, artificial intelligence, virtual and augmented reality, and energy-efficient infrastructure. A conceptual model of intelligent education is proposed, as well as implementation and adaptation strategies. The paper also presents examples of best practices in STEM education in Bulgaria.
