The transdisciplinary of the project supports the development and the validation of the 8 key competences. eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content
1-This objective mainly implements knowledge, skills and attitudes related to competence in mathematics, science, and technology.
- Apply mathematical thinking (calculation and geometry) to solve a problem
- Acquire scientific knowledge and methodology (observation and experimentation) to explain natural world
- Use instruments (ruler, protractor, try square, plumb line, spirit level ) to experiment with a technological device (gnomon) in order to acquire scientific data.
2-This project promotes a variety of learning approaches and environments, including the digital competence.
- information and data literacy
- communication and collaboration
- media literacy
- digital content creation
