In the framework of the Erasmus+ programme Eureka! Past, Present and Future!, the fourth, fifth and sixth graders of Aristotelio College, Greece, are cheerful and creative working together and making model replicas of past Greek Inventions, which we researched into in the first phase of the project.

The models are going to be presented by the students who are travelling to Paris in May 2017.

At arts and crafts workshop, with simple materials, like clay, cardboard, cardboard boxes, paper, acetate, tongue depressors, crayons, our young students are creating replicas of ancient inventions, from Pythagoras’ cup to the automatic puppet theatre and cinema by Heron, Archimedes’ catapult, Anaximander’s maps, Ptolemy’s astrolabe and world map, to modern World Maps. Congratulations, students, on your imaginativeness and zeal!

At the robotics workshop, 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!
