The project website, Project Facebook page, and Project Youtube Channel will be open even though project finish. Public Report and e-book, public spot and short film will be shared on EBA. Public Report will be sent to YEGITEK to contribute building Education 4.0 policies in Turkish Education SYSTEM. Robotic and STEM Club Robotic and STEM LAB CODEROBOSCHOOL UNIT will inspire other schools to build these units at their own schools.One of the most important long-term benefits is getting awareness to choose STEM-related vocations by students.In the long term, the project outputs will be a source for all schools and teachers involved in educational settings.
The "DAWN OF SCHOOLS WITH EDUCATION 4.0" project aimed to integrate the Industry 4.0 components of schools (3D printer, Virtual Reality, Robotics ...). By organizing LTT events with Industry 4.0 components (3D printer, Virtual Reality, Robotics ...) with our project: -We contributed to the development of STEM (Science, Technology, engineering, mathematics) in our institutions - We have served the goal of reducing the failure rate to less than 15% as stated in Education and Training 2020, ET2020. The project was realized with 6 partners (Finland, Sweden, Portugal, Latvia, Slovenia, Turkey). In this project, which was carried out under the coordination of Turkey, 6 LTT events were organized. With our 6 LTT events, we made a significant contribution to the development of new ideas by changing good practices. At the center of our activities; family, students, teacher and school and social environment. Teachers have learned about innovative teaching methods in LTT activities, thus gaining more qualified learning/teaching competencies.Our students received training on robotics, 3d printers, virtual reality and coding with their peers, and many changes took place in their lives. While deciding on partner countries, the most appropriate institutions were selected to share good practices. All institutions in our project had equal roles in the project. Within the scope of our project, the contributions of the project institutions to the project were as follows: * Finland shared its national and international VEX robotics experiences. It introduced the successful education systems in their countries. *Turkey shared its national and international LEGO EV3 Mindstorms experiences and introduced the Turkish Education System. *Portugal shared its national and international VR experiences and introduced the Portuguese Education System. *Latvia shared its national and international Drone experiences and introduced the Latvian Education System. *Sweden shared their national and international 3D printing experiences and introduced the Swedish education system. *As Slovenia is an experienced institution in STEM projects, she shared her experiences on this subject and shared her Coding and Programming experiences in the Slovenian Education System. According to the above roles, each partner organized the LTT activities as planned. During the Project, the following methods and techniques were used in our Activities: *Interactive workshops/training courses *Presentations/seminars/VR simulations *Excursions/cultural excursions *Collaborations with universities and public institutions *mini contests/video making apps *team building activities/ice breakers and energizers *forms/surveys/questionnaires *formal/informal meetings *Speaking, confronting experiences These methods and techniques were carried out according to the readiness, interests and profiles of the participants. Within the scope of our LTT activities, 6 mobilities were organized. The age range of our participating students is 13-16. These are: TURKEY (LEGO EV3 MINDSTORMS) ACTIVITIES, ( Physical activity) PORTUGAL(VR) ACTIVITIES, (Physical mobility) FINLAND (VEX ROBOTICS) ACTIVITIES, ( Physical mobility) SWEDEN (3D PRINTING) ACTIVITIES, ( Physical mobility) SLOVENIA(CODING AND PROGRAMMING) ACTIVITIES, (Virtual mobility) LATVIA(DRONE) ACTIVITIES. (Virtual mobility) Our goals with our project: - To inform schools about Industry 4.0 in line with "Inclusive Growth" in the EU 2020 strategy, - Informing students about new business lines through the EU 2020 Strategy - Grasp STEM in all partner schools through effective teacher training - Promote the use of more effective and innovative teaching methodologies - Increase motivation among students and staff - To provide students with real-world skills and the ability to use 21st Century Skills. All the objectives of our project have been achieved at a high level. Concrete Results of Our Project: -Robotics and STEM Club, Robotics and STEM LAB unit was established in our schools -Lego competition (virtual and on-site) was held with our partners - VR simulations of each school were prepared. -Works were organized in Robotics and STEM LAB within the body of each partner institution. -Project brochures were prepared -Project website, Facebook page, Youtube channel created -Student interest in STEM subjects increased -The number of teachers using Industry 4.0 elements in education has increased in all partner institutions. In order to ensure the sustainability of the project, each project team focused on concrete results and the Project website (https://dawnofschoolswitheducation.wordpress.com/), Project Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/groups/1166886930159827/) and Project Youtube Channel (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kknbSv8JkQE) and carried out dissemination activities. In addition, the eTwinning project (https://twinspace.etwinning.net/73070/home) has been developed and all activities and dissemination activities have been shared on eTwinning. Long-term benefits of our project: The Robotics and STEM Club efforts established at our school and all partner institutions and the Robotics and STEM LABS have inspired other schools to build these units in their own schools. One of the most important long-term benefits of our project has given our students awareness about choosing STEM-related professions. As a result of the surveys, it was determined that there was an increase in the targeted level of orientation to professions in the STEM field in each partner institution and the success coefficient in STEM courses in the exams. In the long run, the project outputs have been a resource for all the schools and teachers involved in the process.
