Dissemination - Robot Making of ancient Greek Inventions

  • In Robotics workshops in Aristotelio College we are constructing replicas of the automata invented by the ancient Greeks

     

    In the framework of the Erasmus+ programme we are implementing robotics workshops with the 5th and 6th graders and under the surveillance and guidance of eduACT, ‘Action for education’. In the second phase of the strategic partnership "Eureka! Past, Present and Future!" Aristotelio College students are initiated into the world of robotics, occupy themselves creatively with Science and Technology and in the end construct robots which are replicas of ancient Greek inventions.

    Archimedes’ catapult throws stones, with a simple waving in front of a sensor, while clapping or hooraying sounds signal the success of the action. The odometre, again by Archimedes, walks and counts centimetres, stops in front of obstacles, claps, talks! This is the education of the future, this is the modern school, which gives multiple stimuli to the students and moulds creative and imaginative people, the next generation of inventors!
