LEARNING ROBOTICS

LEARNING ROBOTICS WITH MATH AND SCIENCE PRACTICES

Course Duration: 5 days
Course Fee: 400€

This course is a kind of teacher training course which aims to support math teachers with a new and innovative approach to teaching Math and encourage their students to learn Math in more effective ways in line with the priorities of the Erasmus Plus Program. The program is based on O-Bot which has a free program and simulation.
The aim of this 5-day Erasmus+ KA1 course is to contribute to the professional development and professional skills of teachers in primary and secondary schools.
