Event Name: Floating garden
Participants: students, parents

The Covid-19 pandemic influenced the whole world. We had to interrupt education in schools. We continued our courses with the help of the Zoom Web 2.0 tool. We designed the activity “I Learn With Stem I Code My Future” with our students for the 2020 STEM Discovery Campaign as part of the eTwinning project.

When the outbreak began, people retreated to their homes. So nature started to renew itself. Air quality improved and vegetation revived. With the decrease of pollution, the diversity of living creatures increased in rivers, lakes and seas. This epidemic reminded us that we were consuming natural resources unconsciously. We discussed with the students what kind of awareness we can do on this subject. We asked the students to watch a movie on the natural environment we chose and a brief presentation of the information they obtained through Toontastic.
