47th Heraklion Primary School

Invite-only in-person activity

47ο Δημοτικό Σχολείο, Heraklion, Greece

6 class hours project for CodeWeek: In the first two class hours, the 6th grade students during the History discipline have to study the Minoan Civilization that fourished in Crete, Greece and the record the basic art expressions that they developed. They will then record the 5 most important murals (frescoes) that have been found by archaeologists in the Minoan Palaces and write 3-4 sentences for each one and download an image. In the next two hours, in Computer Lab, Alice 3.0 will be used to develop a 3D museum room with the 5 wall frescoes and a virtual narrator that will present information about each frescoe with text and recorded voice (students are already trained in coding with Alice 3.0). Makey Makey will be introduced so as the Alice program responds to touching of Makey Makey poles. The last 2 hours will be in the Arts discipline, where the children have to create a replica of a room with the frescoes in walls. Iron nails will be used for sending the signal of touch to the Makey Makey platform, so that the relevant frescoe is presented in the computer. ----------- UPDATE: Here is the result of the action https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ymgZ7trUYQQ

Mars Exploration with Autonomous car -Advanced (2PS, E1)
Mon, May 19, 2025 8:43 PM
Fifth-grade E1 class students (ages 10–11) are developing robotic projects using an Arduino-based microcontroller and the R2-ARD:icon car. In this course, they will program the car to operate autonomously on a simulated Mars environment. The car will be designed to:   -Avoid obstacles -Stay within a perimeter marked by a black line -Stop and blink its LED light to send a message when detecting water (simulated using a magnetic field sensor)   This activity is an interdisciplinary activity part of the  "From Mythology to Space" project.   They are using the MIND+ block coding platform along with: -the Arduino UNO extension -the Greek S1 extension from STEM EDUCATION -sensors from both the R2 and S1 robotic kits from Polytech
Mars Exploration with Autonomous car -(2PS, G1)

Third-grade G1 class students (ages 8–9) are developing robotic projects using the EDISON robots. In this course, they will program the car to operate autonomously on a simulated Mars environment. The car will be designed to:   -Avoid obstacles

-Stay within a perimeter marked by a black line

This activity is an interdisciplinary activity part of the  "From Mythology to Space" project.
