At the 8th Primary School of Agia Paraskevi, we believe in the synergy of forces, to produce an innovative solution to the problem we had to face. We worked in groups, explored alternative ways of dealing with the problem, got ideas from other schools in order to differentiate our code. It was a very creative and interesting period for all of us!
Our publication on our school site :
In the framework of the skills workshop with the sub-thematic STEM / Educational Robotics, computer science professor, Mr. Bakalakos Thomas, implemented an e-twinning project with primary school seniors (ΣΤ1) . Τhe topic was “Tech for safety: Wireless bag alarm – Code with Micro:Bit” .
On Wednesday June 7, our third online meeting took place. We had the opportunity to consider different approaches to our implementation, both in terms of microbit transmitter and receiver.
Six schools from Greece, Bulgaria and Slovakia participated.
The creator (founder) of the project is the 8th Primary School of Agia Paraskevi with the computer science teacher, of our School. The “Hristo Smirnenski” Primary School in Rakovski, Bulgaria, with the teacher Deyana Peykova, is the co-founder. Irina Gardeva, was the teacher that helped Miss Peykova to complete the task, regarding the Ηristo Smirnenski School.
We have made an extra meeting too, at 14th of June with Slovakian School "Základná škola, Zlatá 2" with the teacher Zuzana Urban, because they were exceptional at the way they improvised . They really helped us to think again the whole process for next year!
The students exchanged ideas, proposed solutions and different approaches to the project topic, while they had the opportunity to learn more about each school’s country and habits.
Sofia and Aggeliki, teachers from Ioannina schools made an excellent work too! It was a great experience overall, in which inquiry, action and flipped classroom methodology were used by the students.
At the end of this year’s work, we evaluated the project and considered future expansions!
Watch our demonstration video ! Our first attempt recorded! 8th Primary School of Agia Paraskevi students in Greece, did it! In cooperation with all other schools our students implemented the code to create a microbit transceiver for our school bag alarm !
