September 2017
In September we focused on gathering knowledge about partner countries/schools. We created posters about Estonia, Greece, Spain and Italy. These posters are displayed on the school corridor, so also the students who are not engaged in the project have the opportunity to learn about our partners’ countries. We have prepared also ERASMUS+ corner and promotion of the project on the main entrance. The poster says ” In this school, we are working with Estonia, Greece, Spain and Italy in ERASMUS+ project called “STEAM Children Engineers Academy”
We have created a project banner with photos from all partner schools and we have also a LOGO contest
October 2017
Younger students start coding in STUDIO CODE. Polish coordinator created a “virtual classroom” in this programme, so we can follow everybody progress.

In November we host teachers from partner countries in our school. it was first face to face meeting of all coordinators who were working online since October 2016. We revised the whole application form and made decisions concerning the work for the first year of collaboration.

We continued coding in StudioCODE. What’s more, each pupil was assisted by the fourth-grade students. The older students are experienced in coding, so they could help younger. Students aged 10- 14 discovered facts about being an engineer. We work on Engineer Design Process.
Some links to movies we would like to share with you:

They also tried to answer why some objects are floating and some sinks/drown.Another task was to create a “ship for potato”. Students worked in groups. Each group got the same set of things and their task was to create out of two balloons.
You can see the joy of young inventors!
One of the aims of this activity was to foster team work, persistence and cooperation.

The Objectives of this activity were:
– To demonstrate the understanding of Pascal’s Law and Archimedes’ principle.
– To use a Cartesian diver based on the understanding of density, buoyancy and pressure.
– To foster team work, persistence and cooperation.
also, this time students were divided into groups, each group received the same set of materials and their task was to create a diver which can be controlled by the inventors:)https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XlHxK3E_XA0&t=2s
January 2018
- 9th of February was an exciting day for 17 girls from Primary School in Czasław. We visited OCADO TECHNOLOGY KRAKÓW. Ocado is an international programming company with offices in the United Kingdom, Bulgaria, Spain and Poland. The girls had a chance to observe how programmers work. We have had many workshops and presentations. They were provided by male and female programmers. Especially an interview with five young women was interesting. Girls have asked many questions about their job. Now students are aware of how important is to learn subjects connected with science, ICT and English. One of the young female programmers has taught our students how to write the programme in Phyton. We were working online at a pizza shop. Our host took care of everything. They showed us the whole office, the relax zones, sports zone, etc They also have done their best to provide comfortable space for our girls, so they had time for some sports activities, second breakfast and even delicious lunch.

In January 2018 we have the whole day excursion to Ocado Technology. We visited their offices in Kraków. The meeting was organised mostly for girls. In Kraków Office people work mostly with technology to improve or design new solution for Ocado. Ocado is a British online supermarket. In contrast to its main competitors, the company has no chain of stores and does all home deliveries from its warehouses. Ocado has been voted the best online supermarket in the UK by Which? readers every year since 2010. The company was floated on the London Stock Exchange on 21 July 2010, and is a member of the FTSE 100 Index.
Our students had the possibility to observe how people work at the Ocado offices. They have met young women who told them about their carrier. Ocado workers also organised coding workshops for girls from Czasław. We used Phyton programe to design program for choosing different kid of pizza. At the end students were been given some small presents and …. pizzas for lunch!
