    • with SketchUP: modelling 3D objects e.g. building of world heritage and objects from real life, "building houses", towns, platonic solids, learning more about geometry in space, ...
       
    • with Gapminder: analyzing graphically and cronological orderded data of a big, big database of social life, politics,  available for many countries of the world to answer actual questions or predict trends, ...
       
    • with google Apps: in order to facilitate cooeration amongst students in different countries who work on the same problem, to documente the process of work and results like reports, presentation or questionnaires. It also simplify the management of our project regarding the involved teachers.
       
    • with Excel, Scratch and other tools: encoding and decoding messages as in former or more recent times
       
    • with Arduino (and other microcontrollers): programming the microcontroller arduino so that it seneses the environment by receiving inputs from different sensors and affects it sourroundings by controlling e.g. lights, temperature, motions, .
      .
    • with robots: exploring by programming a robot the impact/force of forces, impulses, velocity and accelaration
       
    • with web 2.0 tools: creating interactive features on websites to attract visitors and get feedback from them, ..
       
    • with 3D printers: seeing in reality and touching own - on the screen - created and built models
