Expanding Digital Culture Knowledge with Alternative Pedagogical Methods

On April 9, the Pécs Group 1 and Pécs Group 3 deepened their IT knowledge within the framework of an experience-based, interactive session. Participants not only gained new digital skills but also experienced new, inspiring forms of learning through creative, cooperation-based tasks.

“With the P1 group, we continued the ‘World of Seas and Oceans’ STEM session series today. During our previous sessions, we modeled in 3D and built our own sea models from Lego elements, including various underwater and surface objects and habitats.

Robots and robotics play an important role in mapping the deep seas and examining natural or artificial underwater objects, so we spent our day getting to know LEGO EV3 robots. Using a basic educational robot construction, we learned how to program fundamental robot movements—moving forward, backward, and turning—as well as how to program two sensors: the distance and pressure sensors. With this knowledge, by the end of the day, we were able to program the robots for complete movements and basic tasks.” – Péter Schlepp, developmental teacher

“During the course of today, the P3 group solved more complex programming tasks. The students worked in pairs and small teams, which fostered cooperation and collective problem-solving. During the tasks, the emphasis was on raising awareness of the thinking process and developing algorithmic thinking. The teams planned their solutions step-by-step, paying attention to logical structures and the development of efficient solution strategies.” – Kata Jobbágy, developmental teacher
