Activities with students

Code Week 2023

We participated with different activities: maze, pixel art, coding, AR,
The first graders learned how to find way through maze. First time they meet with comands: go straight, turn right, turn left. We pretended that we are robots. One student was remote controler and the other one robot. And we learnet that there are different ways different ways from point A to point B.

Exhibition
Fourth graders made robots using the design process. After they came up with the idea of a robot, they made a sketch and created their prototype. Each of the robots has its name and purpose.

Dispersion of Light

As a part of the eTwinning project STREAM - AI students explored the dispersion of the light. We used app which does RGB decomposition. Just place the mobile phone camera on the top of the cards with colours... and it was suprasing!

Space week 2023.

We did different worksheets with students using pixel art and we did also greaat activity using AR.

Engineering projects

Science Festival 2023. (24. - 28. April)

As part of the Science Festival, which holds many interesting workshops, lectures and activities dedicated to science and art, on the theme "Nature and Society".

The Technical Culture Association of the city of Split also participated in the mentioned Festival, and in cooperation with Elementary School "Spinut" organized workshops on automation, robotics and 3D technologies for young minds.

The students got to know the technology for 3D modeling, the possibilities of application and the procedures for using it, and with the help of 2D templates they designed 3D models, developed imagination, creativity, innovation and technical competence!

Minecraft

We teach coding concepts in a very simple but motivating way!

Alex or Steve?

Regardless of which of them to choose, the goal was the same: using the blocks, we guide them through the water world.

Students progress at their own pace through 12 tasks.

In the beginning, they solve simpler tasks (moving forward, turning left and right), and later they use a "loop".

Awesome, right?

For actions that are repeated instead of stringing the same instructions, we simply use a loop.

Play and learning go together 🙃

Robotics - Face recognition

Cameras are placed on top of the robot, and mentors and computer science teachers, Tihana Đogaš and Adrijana Lisica, taught the students how to "teach" them to recognize one or more faces and how to recognize lines.

Holiday decorations with 3D pencils

We tried 3D pens, as preparation for working on a 3D printer 🤗

For small creatives, working with 3D pencils gives the possibility of creating three-dimensional objects, no programming is required, so with a little skill you can make anything you imagine. We practice our hand on 2d templates, to "feel" the pen and learn how to control the thread-melted filament that comes out of the tip of the pen. We struggled a bit, but now we know how everything works!

Days of Open Doors of Associations

The Association of Technical Culture of the City of Split participated in the Open Days of Associations 2023 manifestation, which is organized by the Office for Associations of the Government of the Republic of Croatia as an annual event that takes place throughout Croatia with the aim of informing the public about the work of associations in the local and wider community diverse topics.

On June 2, 2023, in cooperation with Elementary School 'Spinut' and pedagogue Fadila Zoranić, we held two workshops - a robotics and 3D technology workshop. The robotics workshop was attended by fifth-grade students of the same school who learned basic knowledge about robots as programmable devices, and applied what they learned on the example of the mBot2 robot. The students designed their own programs that they uploaded to the devices, and at the end they tried their hand at controlling the robot using a remote control in the task of 'guiding' the ball along the outlined path,' the Technical Culture Association tells us.

The second workshop was intended for students of the older grades of elementary school. As part of the workshop, they were introduced to the 3D printer, its basic characteristics and settings.

Binary Code

01010011 01010000 01001001 01001110 01010101 01010100

Or let's just write SPINUT, as it's easier for us.

How does that look to you?

And let the computer use its own language, binary code.

The computer "doesn't understand" words and numbers like we do, every time we communicate with the computer we use the binary digits 0 or 1. So, as you can see in the given example, each letter we want to write consists of 8 binary digits. We decided to write our name in this language and create a unique necklace or bracelet. For that we needed beads in three colors: one represented the digit 0, the second the digit 1 and the third for the space between the letters. A very interesting and challenging task!

Fostering creativity
