COURSE OVERVIEW:
Nowadays there is a growing trend towards integrating new technologies into teaching and training. There are numerous programming languages and different robots that offer great opportunities to the educators but not without challenges. Blue-Boths, Bee-Boths, Lego WeDo, Lego EV3 etc. Approaching them without proper guidance can be a time-consuming task.
Teachers, trainers and education managers taking part in this course will learn to

Thanks to this course the participants will:
- Learn how to choose team members
- Learn how to build competiton mechanisms
- Learn how to choose programming platform
- Learn how to programm generally usable algorythms
- Learn how to give an extra dimension to education and how to boost learners' motivation through using new technologies.
- Improve their digital skills and their knowledge of algorithmic and critical thinking, programming, using new technologies
- Exchange best practices and share experiences with participants and staff coming from across Europe;
- Make contacts with individuals and organizations working in the education field in Europe through everyday cooperation and networking activities;
METHODOLOGY:
We tailor the working methods based upon participants’ needs, attitudes and professional profiles in order to ensure high productivity, effectiveness and transferability into practice.
Our methodology is highly practical and participative with hands-on approach that comprises real-job examples, case studies examination and simulations. We embrace collaboratively working methods that foster mutual learning and cooperation among participants. Our focus is on learning outside the classroom in an interactive and international environment. The pedagogical methods that we use are based upon experiential training, group and peer activities, learning-by-doing and best practices’ exchange.
During the course the participants will work on reality based projects, and they can take home the tasks and building guides made by them. They will get ideas on how to build up a curriculum and how to integrate the teaching of robotics into their classes.
Morning Wrap-up and brief daily evaluations are foreseen to ensure quality of education and to adapt the learning programme to participants' needs better tailoring the education.
Free time has been planned to give to the participants time to assimilate the concepts, develop further the group activities, ask trainers for further clarifications, etc. Networking and cooperation among participants will be supported and stimulated at each stage.
We organize optional social, networking and cultural activities in order to give participants the opportunity to know Hungary as well as to exchange best-practice and establish professional cooperation and links.
Before the course we measure the awareness of the participant with questionairres, after the course we will create a common database for the participants where they can share their sketches, tasks and solutions.
Follow up: we will create a facebook group for the participants, where they can duscuss their problems, and share their experiences. They can come back to our advanced course, to improve their knowledge of robot programming.
