Learning by playing like the Ancient Greeks
As part of the Erasmus + KA2 program “Prevention is better than cure, as Hippocrates said” we visited the amazing and interactive exhibition of the Museum of Ancient Greek Technology Costas Kotsani.
The children of the 23rd Kindergarten of Larissa and the 5th Kindergarten of Farsalos had the unique opportunity to get acquainted with a relatively unknown aspect of ancient Greek culture through the exhibition “Hi-Tech Inventions of Ancient Greeks” which includes about 100 selected exhibits and the selected artist Filonos’ cinema to the Iron Puppet Theater and from Ktibi’s automatic hydraulic watch to the Antikythera Mechanism.
