During the Stories of Tomorrow Summer School, held in Greece betwen june 30-july 5, we will showcase the experience developed on Agrupamento de Escolas Venda do Pinheiro in using coding, robotics and 3D printing in education. The goal is showing how to integrate gaming and digital storytelling with blocks--based coding, robotics learning scenarios, and 3D modelling and printing within the Stories of Tomorrow STEAM educational framework. Using these technologies to enable children to think, study and create about space exploration. This summer school is for teachers from the EU.

Exploring nature-based solutions in your classroom and beyond
Sat, Mar 1, 2025 7:39 PM

In this learning scenario, young children engage in an interactive and hands-on experience of creating a "Sustainability Garden." Through activities like planting seeds, observing plant growth, and learning about the importance of recycling, they develop an understanding of environmental care. By incorporating basic STEM principles such as measurement, observation, and data recording, the scenario encourages children to explore nature, practice responsibility, and understand sustainability. This scenario combines outdoor exploration with creative learning to foster a sense of environmental stewardship from an early age.

Acts to protect the forest!!
Fri, Mar 7, 2025 8:15 AM

Preschool children will participate in a collaborative Bee-Bot activity between two schools, focusing on forest protection actions. This initiative aims to develop algorithmic thinking and programming skills while raising environmental awareness. Using Bee-Bots, digital tools, and creative expression, students will explore key conservation actions such as reforestation, fire prevention, recycling, and wildlife protection.

The activity unfolds in two stages:

  • 1st Partner School: Students illustrate a chosen conservation action and upload their artwork to a collaborative Canva presentation.
  • 2nd Partner School: Students receive the image, write an English message related to the action, and add it to Canva. They then record an audio message using Blabberize, embedding it into a QR code placed next to the image.

Finally, all contributions will be gathered into a Canva presentation, forming a collaborative interactive game. Through scanning QR codes, students will explore conservation actions while engaging with visual and audio content.

This hands-on activity promotes computational thinking, digital literacy, creativity, and teamwork while fostering an appreciation for forest protection.

 The activities will be published in a collaborative padlet, the link of which will be shared with the group members.
