Projects for building STEM centers in schools were financed in two categories: small (up to 50,000 BGN) and large (up to 300,000 BGN). 150 Bulgarian schools already have built or are currently building a modern base for preparing students for 21st century skills have been funded thus far.

The article provides a brief overview of the digitization process of the Bulgarian schools in two directions – administrative and methodological, examines the challenges in front of the teachers when building scenarios for a STEM lesson, provides a brief overview of the materials that would be useful when teaching the content and analyzes the challenges and difficulties they face in building scenarios for a STEM lesson.
