1. Platon Schools (Εκπαιδευτηρια Πλατων) (Katerini, Greece)
2. Beypazari Teknik Ve Endüstri Meslek Lisesi (Beypazari, Turkey)
3. Technikum nr 1 im. Stanisława Staszica w Zespole Szkoł Technicznych w Rybniku (Rybnik, Poland)
4. Palatul Copiilor(Drobeta Turnu Severin, Romania)
Pupils (aged from 14 to 19 years old) & Teachers
WHY?Objectives Improve teaching and learning of science and
technology using robotics as integrator O1. Apply practical math and scientific
concepts while learning to design, build, test and document KAREL.
O2. Create an interdisciplinary curriculum to use with KAREL robotic platform.
O3. Improve confidence and fluency in English and learn scientific and technical vocabulary in partners’ languages.
WHAT?Results & Outcomes Robotics platform designed, tested and
manufactured. Robotics dictionary. Curriculum with lesson plans in the next
fields: physics, biology, programming, mechanics, electronics, and robotics.
HOW?Tasks Distribution Robotic platform design, manufacture, test
and document: a) Mechanical system
Turkey b) Electronic system
Poland (input / output devices) Romania (controller, motor drivers, power supply,
communication) d) Software
Greece (codes for lessons) Romania (codes for input / output devices)
HOW?Tasks Distribution Pupils:
Create robotics dictionary Research, design, build, test, and program
robotic platform Test curriculum
Teachers: Design robotic platform, and curriculum Guide pupils
