Open Category 3rd-6th Grade
The educational program Open Category 3rd-6th Grade is dedicated to the preparation of the teams for their participation in the Panhellenic competition of STEM Education in the Open Category 3rd-6th Elementary. Children create their first Automations and their first Physical Computing applications!
From managing construction motion using the switch, to managing motion with Sensors and Programming, kids work together to solve a real-world problem. In addition, they develop their creations and learn to present their results in 3D models!
Human sensory organs are replaced by electronic sensors, action takes place using electric motors and children program processors for the first time. They collect information from the environment, through measurements of temperature, brightness, sound volume, etc.
In all of the above, the construction part is not missing, since the Automations are harmoniously integrated with the children’s constructions. The absolute harmony of Planning and implementation of construction to work perfectly and solve problems in people’s lives.
Children discover the world of measurements using sensors such as temperature, light, tilt and sound in combination with MicrobiT and the exciting journey to Automation continues!
