Transnational Project Meeting in Italy (Milan)

We, the teachers and the students from ZŠ Márie Medveckej in Tvrdošín, participated, within the framework of the Erasmus+ Project “Emotions”, in the Transnational Project Meeting in Italy (Milan) from 5^th till 9^th June 2017.

The aim of the meeting was to perform several activities which were focused on different topics, it means that every country should have prepared activities or games, and then to present them in Italy.

Those days were a great and pleasant experience not only for us, but also for our students who experienced so much and also for participants from other countries (Spain, Italy and Poland). The students with the help of the teachers were trying to lead those activities (or so-called cooperative games), so that all the students were able to cooperate and work with each other. We assume that the goal of the activities (to share activities and cooperative games carried out in each of the participating schools with all participating countries) was achieved. For instance, the students performed several activities related to Emotions and Music or how to express emotions and feelings through music, Slovakia – Slovak song; Poland – Don’t worry, be happy; Spain – “Titanium” karaoke version by David Guetta. Many activities were connected with sport, so the topic was related to Emotions and Sport/ Sport activities like traditional Slovak games, Spain activities “Capture the flag” game, and so on.

There were activities with experts involved, too. The students experienced an emotional training dealing with their confidence, self-reliance, tolerance etc. On Thursday, the students and also the teachers were a part of something amazing. The project “Robotics for Kid” shared with us their program "Social Mission to Mars". In the most beginning it was quite difficult to understand, but after that everybody enjoyed the activity. The students were divided into several groups – Rover Designers Group, Software Programming Group, Simulation and Test Group, Topographic Surveys Group, Mission Coordination Group. Each group had their own task, e.g. some of the students should have built the rover, some of them were responsible for proper rover programming, and others should have defined the exact route that the rover had to go through or prepared the Mars map in electronic format (…).  

The Italians tried to do their best, moreover, they offered and shared many interesting activities with us (meaning all the participants) and we appreciate that. It was a great experience for us all. The students were satisfied with the stay in Italy. It influenced us in many ways. The most important is that we all agree that it is essential to pay attention to the emotional aspects of the students. We can say that the Project Emotions is progressing from the very first point of our meeting (job shadowing). 

THANK YOU ITALY, THANK YOU FOR ALL YOU DID TO MAKE THIS MEETING SO GOOD! WE ALL HAD SUCH A WONDERFUL TIME :-)

SOCIAL MISSION TO MARS - A COOPERATIVE GAMES DURING THE TRANSNATIONAL MEETING IN MILAN- ITALY

Robotics, Astronomic geography and the scientific methodology

Fondazione IBM constantly works with Schools and Institutes to bring STEM disciplines to kids and young adults.

“Mission to Mars” (a rover on Mars soul) is a 10+ year project which aims to bring different disciplines like robotics, astronomical geography, mathematics, arts and images, technology and computer sciences to younger’s world.

Robotics is a engineering discipline which studies and develops methodologies to mimic the human work with a robot, the approach to this discipline is influenced also from humanistic and scientific philosophies.

patial Robotics develops technologies and methods for the use of robots outside the Earth's atmosphere has achieved useful results even in fields outside spatial research. Often, this knowledge is far from being accessible to the current world of our children.

With the "Mission on Mars" project, it is all about combining engineers' robots with the disciplines of the curriculum.

Any teaching taught in our classes should aim to make topics as close as possible to what can be observed and what can be experienced through one's own body or perceived with one's own senses.

We can see that the overall experience has been above average. We'll try to improve just a bit previous information and time schedule.
We will also provide the opportunity to visit  more locations in the city as Milan offers a lot, and less staying at school for students and teachers.
We should also take into account that just in case any serious incidents may occur to a teacher, great responsibility of their students is attributed to the remaining partner staff (as reflected in the section "other comments" and has unfortunately happened during this visit).
