eTwinning is happy to announce four new Project Kits based on this year’s winning projects!
This year, four winners were identified, one for each of the different age categories: Busy Bugs in my Bag (Up to 6), Wonderland (7-11), EU've got mail (12-15) and Robo-Code (16-19). These projects have been selected and awarded the eTwinning European prize under exceptional circumstances seen throughout 2020. eTwinning would like to thank all the winning teachers for their outstanding work, all their projects demonstrate excellent achievements and are great examples of collaboration.
These projects are inspiring for other teachers and therefore, eTwinning asked the winners from each of the different age categories to create a project kit for their winning project.
Here is a brief overview of what each project kit has to offer:
Busy Bugs in my Bag (Up to 6)
The project kit is designed for pre-primary children to help them discover the incredible world of insects. This kit enables children to discover what insects eat, their habitats and what they look like. As part of this project, there will be the opportunity for informative sessions by experts, games, and collaborative learning, including songs, drawings, and a range of online and offline activities.
Wonderland (7-11)
This kit is an example of how students’ foreign language skills can be developed through ICT and literature. Wonderland is an imaginary country inhabited by unusual creatures from fairy tales and nowadays, heroes with extra powers. As the project develops, eight doors open. Each door opens on a set day and the students are presented with the challenge that they should solve in order to move to the next door. At the end of this journey students will meet at the centre of Wonderland and celebrate their true friendship.
EU've got mail (12-15)
The original project participated in the “66th European Competition”, was among the award-winning projects and highlighted as an outstanding project in this article. Students study the role of the European Union and reflect on citizens’ right to participation. After brainstorming their main topics of interest, students discuss in multinational teams what they would like to address to European politicians.
Robo-Code (16-19)
“Robo-Code” is a STEM project which focuses on engineering and computational science exploiting the flipped classroom methodology to improve the learners’ knowledge of technological products (Edison robot) and their understanding of the impact of science and engineering on today’s world through sharing knowledge and putting it to practice. This kit aims to make the most out of the Vocational School curriculum and familiarising young pupils with robots and programming applications through hands-on activities.
