Students' Presentations
Students from all participating countries presented the students' work-presentations in the school's auditorium.
This is the Greek presentation about "Planned Obsolescence" when designing products.
FINAL Planned Obsolescence.pptxThe Greek students also presented their work in robotic projects created with LEGO EV3 and MIT App Inventor. Basically they designed EV3 robotic vehicles that could move autonomously with the use of sensors and also controlled by Bluetooth designed Apps for Android, with the use of pressing buttons or voice recognition.
EV3 project: Quiz Gamers RUDOLF
This was a project, started on Christmas, to develop an Android Quiz game about "Planned Obsolescence" where the player is trying to answer correctly the questions, so that his/hers EV3 robot finishes the race first!

We also visited the Engineering and Agronomy Faculty of Braila of the University Dunarea de Jos.

Τhe cultural program of the meeting included visits to sights and guided tours in the cities of Braila and Galati, accompanied by teachers and students of the hosting school.
Our students had an unforgettable experience being hosted by Romanian families and watching the foreign school lifestyle and daily lessons.
We were particularly excited by the presentations of traditional dances (Romanian and Greek) presented to us by the local cultural groups, where we all had the opportunity to dance altogether as locals.
