Math & Science eTwining project

 

This project is for students aged 10-15 years. The aim of the project is to develop students' math and science skills by putting students at the center and enabling them to take an active role in the project. While doing this, using the online environment offered by the eTwinning platform, teachers from different countries of Europe will discuss mathematics and its subjects interdisciplinary by sharing their experiences and exchanging ideas with teachers from different schools. Students' digital and foreign language skills will be developed for communication and cooperation. Expected results for students at the end of the project are to develop their problem solving, observation, mathematical, scientific, digital and language skills. As an international environment is created, there will naturally be intercultural exchanges.

SciHack

Oraselul Copiilor Oradea

22 oct. 10:00-16:00

Evenimentul SciHack este compus din doua parti: una teoretica, de prezentare a cauzelor si efectelor schimbarilor climatice (interpretare imagini obtinute din sateliti, compozitia atmosferei Pamantului, poluarea si gazele cu efect de sera, temperatura, presiune, umiditate, conservarea energiei, scrierea de coduri in Python, utilizand Raspberry Pi) si de gasire a solutiilor pentru incetinirea producerii acestui fenomen. Cea de-a doua parte este una practica de construire a unei centrale eoliene si solare Lego dar si de programare a brick-ului Mindstorms Education astfel incat sa obtinem energie electrica din energie nepoluanta.

Prin organizarea acesui eveniment urmarim dezvoltarea unor abilitati, precum: gandire critica, creativitatea, lucrul in echipa si colaborarea intre echipe, abilitati de comunicare si prezentare a produselor realizate, grija pentru mediu.

Evenimentul propus se bazeaza pe activitati transdisciplinare de motivare a copiilor pentru programare si stiinta (fizica, chimie) care sa dezvolte abilitati sociale, de comunicare, de rezolvare de probleme, de gasire a solutiilor, de leadership, de formare a unei atitudini active de protejare a mediului inconjurator.

Evenimentul este gratuit si se adreseaza copiilor de 10-14 ani, face parte din initiativa Meet and Code.

Evenimentul este finantat cu ajutorul programului Meet and Code (https://www.meet-and-code.org/) sustinut la nivel european de compania de software SAP. Meet and Code 2022 este coordonat de Haus des Stiftens gGmbH si reteaua TechSoup Europe si sustine, pentru al 6-lea an consecutiv, evenimente de tehnologie si programare aliniate cu misiunea initiativei Comisiei Europene: Europe Code Week.

In Romania, programul Meet and Code este coordonat de Asociatia Techsoup. Din 2010, Asociatia Techsoup (https://asociatiatechsoup.ro) creeaza si ofera resurse IT si experiente de invatare a tehnologiei pentru organizatii nonprofit, tineri si profesori. Asociatia Techsoup este castigatoare a premiului Digital Skills Awards, competitie organizata de Comisia Europeana.

Meet and Code 2017

During the EU Meet and Code 2017 event, Astronomy and Space Science Club (a NGO organization) from Oradea City, Romania, organized two educational activities: 'Astronaut for a day' and 'Mars Exploration Rover'.
Location: The Children's Educational Center in Oradea, Romania
Time: October 18-th and 21-st, 2017.


'During one of the 30 coding events in Romania, some participants even explored Mars! Organizers of the Mars Exploration Rover event from the Astronomy and Space Science Club in Oradea, showed children the images transmitted by satellites and later moved on to the presentation of a LEGO Mindstorms robot kit. It was an introduction of an exciting task: to design, construct and program their own rovers and explore Mars. The participants built 3D models of the Lego Space Challenge EV3 and learned how to code NXT 2.00 rover for specific tasks. The results were really impressive!'
