Our project

  • Our little robots will try to discover S.T.E.M. (= 4 superheroes with special features and properties) :

    Shady: the human shadow,

    Thor: a superhero who can use the power of water,

    Electra: a superhero who can handle electricity and

    Magneta: a superhero with magnetic skills,

    in order to help them solve a mystery script…

     

    Aims

    Little pupils from different countries will:

    • approach the STEM method through planning, designing, participating, questioning, observing and testing out their ideas
    • practice in problem solving, working in groups, developing critical thinking skills and algorithmic thinking skills through several activities
    • develop their creativity and imagination, communication and collaboration, innovation, love for learning, self-esteem and self-confidence
    • practice in programming little robots (bee-bot, blue-bot).


     

    Work process

    1. Each school takes on the obligation to mold one of the characters/superheroes and create his/hers traces.
    2. The traces will be objectives, photos or substances, that we will bring in our classroom and let our pupils: 
    • observe
    • test
    • experiment
    • speculate
    • come to conclusions about these materials and the phenomenon they examine.

          3 . With all the traces we will create a collaborative carpet for our little robots. All the schools discover the superheroes’ traces by using their little robot.

          4. For every trace there ‘ll be a challenge given in a QR code (behind the trace-card), which we are called to implement and present it to the other schools.

          5. After finding all the 4 superheroes and discovering their special properties, we have to find out how they will use their power to break loose and create an escape game with cards, puzzles and quizzes.
