Scope

The purpose of the course is to show educators how to use Robotics to create teaching activities in the fields of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics). The course will give participants the opportunity to learn how to inspire their students by implementing exciting, yet feasible, problem solving activities that foster creativity and active learning. Essentially, the course covers how to use robotics as an organizer to teach STEM concepts at a foundation level.

 ECVET points: 3.5

Target groups

Teachers & school staff: primary and secondary level (10-16 year old students), adult educators, IT educators

Learning outcomes

Upon completion of the training course, the participants are expected to:

  • Support their students and introduce the Hands-on methodology into their classroom.
  • Create STEM-based lesson plans, organise their curriculum and make learning paths for students.
  • Organise their lesson by incorporating projects with a focus on science and programming helping students develop skills such as problem solving, flexibility, critical thinking, creativity and perseverance in a collaborative environment

Methodology

The course is based on collaborative learning utilising hands-on education, problem solving, project-based learning, and discovery (guided) learning.

Participants get experience working with engineering, mathematical and physics concepts such as estimation, and learn to calculate distance, time and speed. Classmates work as a team of 2 or 3 pupils. The curriculum delivers robotics experience from design, project management to implementation, including building from scratch, true programming structure.

Thematic units

  • STEM theory
  • Robotics theory
  • Programming theory
  • Exercises for Programming
  • Simple projects with robot
  • Advanced projects with robot

Learning material

  • Introducing the Robotic Kit
  • Introducing the software for the Kit
  • Lesson plans and classroom management
  • Engine and sensor programming
  • Learn commands to create integrated programs
  • Hands-on activity (Project implementation)

Cost

Tuition fee: 350 euros for the 5 days course and 420 euro for the 6 days course per person
The cost includes the learning material and the certificates: Certificate of completion, Europass Certificate Supplement, Europass Mobility.

Cultural activities: 80 euro per person (in Piraeus)
The cost includes a) a walking tour of Piraeus and welcome dinner, b) a guided tour of Athens, visit to Archaeological sites and c) common dinner with live music in Athens. The cost of local transportation and the entrance fees to sites and museums are not included.

Cultural activities: 220 euro per person (in Chania)
The cost includes:
