At the same time, the basic principles of Physics that refer to the physical quantities related to their constructions will be taught. In addition, they will become familiar with the basic principles of Mathematics and Statistics that apply to the collection, processing and utilization of measurements taken from these constructions.<\/p>\n<p>The constructions will be created with the educational material of the GIGO micro: bit Compatible robots series and will be programmed with Scratch.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_message message_box_color=&#8221;turquoise&#8221; icon_fontawesome=&#8221;&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>\u03a4\u03bf micro:bit is compatible with <a href=\"https:\/\/wrohellas.gr\/\u03c0\u03b1\u03bd\u03b5\u03bb\u03bb\u03ae\u03bd\u03b9\u03bf\u03c2-\u03b4\u03b9\u03b1\u03b3\u03c9\u03bd\u03b9\u03c3\u03bc\u03cc\u03c2-\u03b5\u03ba\u03c0\u03b1\u03b9\u03b4\u03b5\u03c5\u03c4\u03b9-2020\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the educational robotics competitions of WRO Hellas<\/a> Primary &amp;\u00a0 High School!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_message][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_message message_box_color=&#8221;sandy_brown&#8221; icon_fontawesome=&#8221;fas fa-angle-double-right&#8221;]What is the<strong> micro:bit;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The micro: bit platform was developed and supported by companies that are world leaders in innovative technologies.<\/p>\n<p>It can be coding through the Scratch graphic interface, Microsoft MakeCode while it is also compatible with MicroPython for those who feel more familiar with programming in a terminal.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Micro: bit contents<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ul>\n<li style=\"text-align: left;\">Processor and shield<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: left;\">5 \u00d7 5 LED panel for displaying messages<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: left;\">Light Sensor<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: left;\">Temperature Sensor<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: left;\">Programmable keys<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: left;\">Connection Pins<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: left;\">Micro USB connector<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: left;\">Magnetometer (compass) for measuring magnetic field<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: left;\">Accelerometer for acceleration measurement in<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: left;\">Radio and bluetooth low energy antenna for communication<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><em>Students will make autonomous mechanical constructions using the MicroBit training package.
