Participation in contest using Arduino by Greek school

 

As part of the Erasmus+ program  DIGIREDIL, during the Greek mobility, educators from the school conducted a workshop on the educational platform Arduino.The same educators utilized the produced learning materials  (presentations and worksheets) in the classroom, for the students in B class of the Computer Science sector. The students showed strong interest and expressed their desire to continue with a larger project, which was ultimately decided to be the participation of the Evening Vocational School of Giannitsa in the 4th Open Technologies Competition.

Στο πλαίσιο του προγράμματος Erasmus+ με το όνομα DIGIREDIL, κατά την ελληνική μετακίνηση,  πραγματοποιήθηκε από εκπαιδευτικούς της σχολικής μονάδας εργαστήριο πάνω στην εκπαιδευτική πλατφόρμα Arduino. Οι ίδιοι εκπαιδευτικοί αξιοποίησαν το παραγόμενο υλικό (παρουσιάσεις και φύλλα εργασίας) στην αίθουσα, στο τμήμα της Β τάξης του τομέα Πληροφορικής. Οι μαθητές έδειξαν έντονο ενδιαφέρον και εξέφρασαν την επιθυμία να συνεχίσουν με ένα μεγαλύτερο project, το οποίο τελικά αποφασίστηκε να αποτελέσει και τη συμμετοχή του Εσπερινού ΕΠΑΛ Γιαννιτσών στον 4ο Διαγωνισμό Ανοιχτών Τεχνολογιών.

Arduino workshop in Greece

 During the hosting week in our school ,a workshop was held in the school's laboratory, where the teachers worked in groups to build and program a simple Arduino circuit that simulated the operation of a traffic light. The teaching material was posted on the official Greek school platform “e-class”. After a brief introductory presentation the participants built the circuit using the Tinkercad software,which can also be used in distance learning, and then using the appropriate commands they programmed the circuit. Then they were given a working sheet with instructions and a box containing all the necessary components. Working in mixed nationality groups they built the actual circuit and loaded the program they had already created with Tinkercad.
