Description

During the webinar organised within the eTwinning featured group ‘Mathematics, science and other STEM topics’, the teams behind two exceptional and innovative eTwinning projects, Code of Mystery and SAGE: Solutions Against Greenhouse Effect (Erasmus+), share their experiences, challenges, and successes. These projects explore mathematics, demonstrating the power of collaborative and interdisciplinary learning.

Mathematics can be difficult, but Code of Mystery transformed it into an engaging adventure. Involving eight teachers and over a hundred students, the project promoted logical reasoning, problem-solving, and creativity. By creating a virtual escape room filled with logic games and puzzles, students learned mathematics in an interactive way while enhancing their English skills. The webinar highlights the project's strengths, challenges, and enjoyable moments. The project "Solutions Against Greenhouse Effect (SAGE)" addressed climate change by providing students with scientific knowledge to combat misinformation. Concentrating on transportation-related emissions, students conducted research, analysed temperature and rainfall data, and performed experiments on the greenhouse effect. The webinar demonstrates how hands-on learning helped students understand environmental issues and develop critical thinking skills.
