School: 8th Primary School of Kifissia, Athens
Students: 5th Grade

Implementation: 6 February – 6 March 2020

Introduction:

This STEM activity is one of the various activities of the European eTwinning project  “STEM ON BOARD” between Greece, Turkey,  Lithuania and Republic of Moldova. The project started in September 2019. Above all, it aims to introduce students to computational thinking and therefore will teach how to proceed from conceiving a concept to creating the right algorithm and planning the construction

School Safety with STEM

Our HeRobot!

Firstly, in the past month, the students were involved with activities that had to do with School Safety. Moreover, S Team tried to gather information about school safety in their own school. In the meantime, they constructed their own HeRobot that would be the leader in the School Safety project.

Therefore, after collecting information and carrying out a risk assessment regarding issues that citizens face concerning road safety during their everyday transportation, they concluded that one of the most serious problems is their own safety on their way to and from school. Consequently, they suggested an imaginative solution and constructed it using Lego WeDo2 parts: an aerial bridge for cars passing over a zebra crossing designed for students to use in order to reach the school. The last stage of the project was to program a small robot car that crosses the bridge.
