In this funny and unplugged activity, we code a message in Morse code for our friends from other country.

The main goal of the activity is developing computational thinking skills as well as getting a better understanding of coding and encryption. Students discover a new way of communication and make their first step in coding in a funny and playful way. Students learn about Morse code and how it was used in World War II. They create and send messages using Morse Code.

Teachers introduce pupils to a brief history of Morse code  and show them an online Morse code translator. After that, pupils choose a secret message (about the Sustainable Development Goals), they are guided by their teacher to code it with Morse code characters. They send it to their foreign friends who in order to understand it, need to decode the message.

AI will shape our future! Therefore, our member country Science on Stage Germany invites you and your students to apply with an innovative approach to using AI.

Your students

- identify a challenge, regionally or globally
- explore how AI can help solve this problem
- design, code, and refine their own AI application

Topics could be: sustainability and environment, health, mobility, diversity, inclusion, etc.

Be inspired by our material: AI in STEM Education

How can you participate?

Develop a project with your students and document the implementation in English in the form of a poster and short film (max. 2 minutes). You submit your application online. Deadline: 23 February 2025.

Who can participate?

European primary and secondary STEM teachers or teachers in training with their students.

What are the evaluation criteria?

Creativity, activity of the students, involvement of the environment (school, city, region), innovation, sustainability, possible applications in practice and presentation of the results.

What happens next?

An international jury will select the ten best teams from the submissions (three students + two teachers per team). They will present their results at the international final on June 6th, 2025 in Berlin.

What can you win?

Im Rahmen des Physikunterrichtes wird in den 4. Klassen (a,b,c) wöchentlich eine Stunde programmiert. Basis ist ein Arduino. Programmiert wird mit Hilfe der symbolischen Programmiersprache Scratch4Arduino (S4A). Die SchülerInnen bauen auf einem Steckbrett elektronische Steuerungen mit Aktoren und Sensoren und steuern/regeln diese mit einer kindgerechten Programmiersprache.
Einsatz eines programmierbaren mobilen Roboters (Bitbot)
Mon, Jun 30, 2025 12:00 AM
SÜ programmieren im DGB-Unterricht den mobilen Roboter. Als "Gehirn" dient ein micro:bit. Mit Anleitungsvideos lernen die SÜ die "Fireleds" und Motoren des bitbots zu steuern. In Anlehnung an den Lego EV3 müssen auf einem begrenzten Tisch verschiedene Aufgaben bewältigt werden (in Zielbereiche fahren, Objekte umrunden, Linien verfolgen usw.)
