Description

The course offers new ways for teachers to promote STEM and screenless ICT activities in their classrooms. Come to experience interactive and  hands-on approach. The participants, in the role of children, gain inspiration to build and create a technical world from a basic blueprint of a house (water and electric system) to simple a robot coding. The course includes demonstration of activities at a local kindergarten.

The aim of the course is to provide teachers new ideas how to introduce pre-school children (4-6 years) to the technical and digital world surrounding us. We aim to improve teachers’ STEM and computational thinking.

Methodology & assessment

The course offers new ways for teachers to promote STEM and screenless ICT activities in their classrooms. We use interactive and hands-on approach. The participants, in the role of children, gain inspiration to build and create a technical world from a basic blueprint of a house (water and electric system) to simple creating and coding of a program for a robot to do a specific duty. The course includes demonstration of activities at a local kindergarten.

The aim of the course is to provide teachers new ideas how to introduce pre-school children (4-6 years) to the technical and digital world surrounding us. We aim to improve teachers’ STEM and computational thinking.
