"Ο Θησαυρός της Φιλίας"

Τα παιδιά της Ε' Δημοτικού μαθαίνουν για τους Αλγόριθμους και τον προγραμματισμό με ευχάριστες δραστηριότητες και παιχνίδια προγραμματισμού όπως το Lightbot και το Blockly

Πρόκειται για ένα επιδαπέδιο παιχνίδι με τη χρήση του ρομπότ Bee-bot και καρτών που απεικονίζουν κυρίως τα χρώματα του φθινοπώρου (κίτρινο, πράσινο, καφέ, κόκκινο, πορτοκαλί). Μετά από επεξεργασία της θεματικής φθινόπωρο και τέχνη, τα παιδιά καλούνται να προγραμματίσουν το ρομποτάκι να μαζέψει τα χρώματα που έχουν επιλέξει να χρησιμοποιήσουν.

Στο τέλος, θα γεμίσουν την παλέτα τους με τις αντίστοιχες τέμπερες και θα δημιουργήσουν ένα φθινοπωρινό έργο τέχνης.

Introduction to AI and Emerging Technologies (1 week)
 

·         Objective: Students in class will be shown videos and explained how ai and other emerging technologies (drones, satellite imaging, etc.), focusing on how these can be applied to environmental challenges.

·         Ask students to research online at home or in class  (e.g., AI to track endangered species, prevent deforestation, or monitor air and water quality).

·         Students will work in groups and present their findings to the the rest of the class. 

Environmental Focus: Migratory Birds and Owls (1 week)
 

·         Objective: Students will research the challenges that migratory birds, especially owls, face due to human activity, climate change, and habitat destruction.

·         Task:

• Groups will investigate specific threats to owl species during migration, such as illegal hunting, loss of habitat, or accidents caused by human-made structures like power lines and post these on the eTwinning forum. 

AI Solutions for Owl Conservation (1 week)
 

·         Objective: Students will brainstorm and come up with a creative way to use AI to help safeguard migratory owls.

·         Task:

• In their groups, students will come up with an idea for an AI-based solution to protect owls during migration. Ideas can range from AI-powered drone patrols that detect poachers, to a machine that predicts and warns about dangerous migration routes.

• Each group will create a poster and present their idea in class where they explain:

• The problem they aim to solve

• How their AI solution works

• How it will benefit migratory birds, especially owls.

• The poster will be uploaded in the Twinspace and in the school social media accounts, on boards across the school. 

Reflection and Discussion:
 
After the presentations, students will reflect on:

·         - How AI can make a positive impact on environmental conservation.

- The ethical considerations of using AI in nature (e.g., ensuring AI doesn't disrupt natural habitats).
Throughout this project, one of the important tasks you will come across is carrying out research work, as is the case with this challenge. Here are some of the questions you'll be facing: 
- How and where to start?
- Where can I find the information I need?
- What to do with this information?
- How to organize and present the information?
This guide will teach you how to solve information problems, using a six-step model, commonly referred to as the Big 6 Model.
