STEAM Week at the Technical School in Slavonski Brod
05/04/2022/
We spent April Fools’ Friday in Slavonski Brod at the Technical School, where we presented our STEMerica project and ran our programme as part of STEAM Week. The pupils were the focus and the main protagonists of this event; they presented their inventions and experiments to us and taught us through entertaining hands-on activities. At the event FabLab explained how an electrical circuit works and presented virtual reality technology, with which everyone tried their hand at modelling and drawing. We also presented the Vinyl Cutter, a computer-controlled foil cutter – visitors designed their own artwork, then digitised and printed it, and finally transferred the design onto textile. Alongside our own stations, our partner Institute POI, through the Bioplanet project, showed how to cook bioplastic, recycle bottle caps and turn them into spinning tops and similar shapes. At the event it was possible to play football using robots built by the pupils, make your own soap, observe holograms and be “jolted” by electricity, and the like. Take a look at the photos and the TV report to see how it all looked: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JsQBTNLTxIop&feature=youtu.be&ab_channel=SBTV-Slavonskobrodskatelevizija 🙂 The project was co-financed by the European Union from the European Social Fund.
