Erasmus+ project starts – HOW TO RAISE AN INVENTOR. TECHNOLOGY AND ENGINEERING LEARNING MATERIAL FOR SCHOOLS

“HOW TO RAISE AN INVENTOR”

Innovative and exciting learning with micro:bits, Lego Mindstorms EV3, 3D printing and engineering tasks !

We are happy to present you an innovative, easy-to-use and free product of the Erasmus+ KA2 Strategic partnerships for school education project “How to raise an inventor. Technology and engineering learning material for schools “.

We hope to raise the interest of pupils in technologies from an early age and encourage teachers to teach robotics by providing them with quality learning material.

Project partners from Lithuania, Poland, and the Netherlands, each and expert in their area, will create four modules to teach engineering, 3D modelling, micro:bit and Lego Mindstorms programming.

The learning material will include not only a step-by-step material for learners, but also a teacher ‘s handbook. We aim to give teachers methodological guidelines to support them while handling the topics that may be new to them.

The project is co-funded by the Erasmus + KA2 Strategic partnerships for school education programme. Project agreement No. 2017-1-LT01-KA201-035284. Project coordinator: School of Robotics, Lithuania. Project duration: 02.11.2017-01.11.2019.
