The project entitled Program yourself into logic will be carried out in schools in Poland, Lithuania, Bulgaria and Romania from 01/09/2020 to 31/
08/2022. The project is aimed at students aged 14-18. They are primary and secondary school students. The project will involve around 70-100
students and about 20 teachers from each school. We would like to engage people who are interested in science as well as students with
learning difficulties. The main goal of the project is to improve science education in the practical application of knowledge in everyday life, learn
new teaching methods in the subjects and exchange experiences in this field with partners from other countries. The priority of the project is
Science Technology Engineering and Mathematics. Our priority is to increase the quality and attractiveness of science subjects in schools –
mathematics, physics, natural sciences, geography, chemistry and computer science. The aim of the project is to make science classes more
attractive and show their practical aspects, develop students’ creativity, further motivate them to use creative learning and be active. As for
weaker students, they will get additional stimuli to develop their interest in scientific subjects and overcome learning difficulties.
The aim of the
project is to use mathematics and computer science in practice, the application of modern technologies in creation and communication of robots,
the use of the latest digital communication techniques, foreign language development in the field of technical concepts and communication in
everyday life. All the factors will improve the quality of academic standards in all the schools implementing the project. As part of the implemented
project, we anticipate to undertake the following activities:
1. Collaboration in making lesson plans for scientific subjects resulting from the exchange of experiences, methods and materials between
partners that will teach specific issues in each, particular subjects.
2. Giving regular open lessons both at their home schools and during the planned mobility using ICT.
3. Interdisciplinary games, giving a chance to shape general knowledge in the field of mathematics and natural sciences. The games will be
created in detail during the preparation of the project, e.g.: mathematical stalking game.
4. The cycle of workshops entitled “Science subjects in the kitchen” that will use the knowledge of physics and chemistry in the process of
preparing dishes, and during which students will have the opportunity to present their regional dishes.
5. Geographical and cognitive field activities with the use of traditional maps and GPS in smartphones, which will help students to learn the tourist
values of the states involved in the project by making and presenting online presentations.
6. Programming an international robot performing specific tasks set by all partner schools. Students will begin the configuration and programming
of the basic elements of the robot. Then, by communicating on the internet, they will establish contact and, by giving commands with their e.g.
smartphones, they will check the correctness of the implemented commands and verify the accuracy of the performed tasks.
7. Holding an international competition in mathematics and natural sciences involving mixed teams.
8. Science and Robotics Fair as an activity summarizing the results of the joint undertakings. During the Fair physical and chemical experiments,
mathematical quizzes and puzzles will be presented as well as robots built during the project implementation.
The methods used in the implementation of the operations will be methods activating students, methods of learning from each other, selfpresentation,
creative action, self-reflection, as well as observation of classes, modern technologies supporting the didactic process, research
and group work.
The expected results of the project are the following:
– to increase of scientific and linguistic competences of the participants
– to increase motivation to learn
– the ability to correlate cross-curricular knowledge and to identify practical aspects of its application
– through the international teamwork and the improvement of their linguistic abilities, the participants will extend their knowledge and improve their
skills, which will increase their social and personal competences
– the participation in the project will allow teachers to supplement traditional teaching methods, to make their work more attractive and encourage
self-reflection. This will make them to increase their support for gifted students and those poor ones. In the long run, we expect this will have a big
impact on the creation of a database of didactic resources which will allow to give lessons in innovative ways, to introduce new issues into the
curricula and stimulate students’ cognitive aspirations. The implementation of the project will add to raising the academic standards and the
attractiveness of the school in the local community.
