The Voyage from 1 upto 0

the concept of "one" is possibly older than the human race. Some researchers have  argued that some animals can count up to three or four and the Ishango Bone demonstrates that the number ONE, existed in the upper paleothic period. Zero is much younger. Commonly referred to as an Arabic number  {Although there is evidence that India used the number zero earlier and possibly introduced to Europe by the Italian Mathematician, Fibonacci. The idea of Zero has not been with us for more than 1500 years, but the use of zero is arguably the single most important advance in the history of the world. The journey from one to zero in this project is to develop STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Mathematical) projects for our students which  required collaboration between our partners.

​

 CANSAT,    We participated in a project to launch a model of a sateliite which was housed in a container no bigger than a cola can. Cansat is a Euroean Space Agency challenge for students, which we previously participated in. For this activity we adapted the idea to suit this Erasmus project

​

App Design    Our students created an app  for use in android devices which displayed tourist features in our regions

​

Mathematicians and Scientists,  Our students created a brief profile of the Scientific Giants from their country.

 

Coding  as part of the project, our students created a guide to simple coding with coding activities to be used as a self teaching resource.
