Project Summary

Sustainable development, which is called meeting the needs of the present generation without removing the ability of future generations to meet their own needs, is gaining a different dimension with the development of technology today. 2030 Sustainable Development Goals are both an efficient theoretical discussion area and an important roadmap for UNESCO cultural agreements. The changes that Industry 4.0 brings with it also determine the skills that individuals should have in the 21st century society. The predictions for the world of the rapidly evolving and changing future cause an increase in the studies for 21st century skills that should be present in individuals. The most noteworthy of the studies carried out for these qualifications are the reports prepared by the International Community on Technology in Education (ISTE) in 2007 and 2016. In these reports, “computational thinking” and “programming skills” are among the 21st century skills that individuals should have. The ability to code as part of logical reasoning is also considered among the “21st century skills” in the report prepared by the European Commission (European Commission, 2016). While “computational thinking” is among the most basic skills of the future workforce, it is anticipated that there will be an irreplaceable IT Specialist deficit in various reports as according to the American Bureau of Labor Statistics, employment report from 2012 to 2022.
Among the aim of our project;
– To make our students aware of the concept of climate change,
– Increasing the sensitivity of our students to environmental problems,
– To increase the technology usage rates in our schools,
– The high rate of waste in our schools and raising awareness of our students in this regard,
– To produce projects for the technological activities used in our schools to offer solutions to problems in our schools and around us,
– To ensure that our students play an active role in the solution of the problems by including the students in the problems in our schools and the environment,
– To ensure that our students are individuals who produce technology, rather than individuals who consume technology, in order not to experience academic failure due to unconscious and unlimited use of technology lowering the motivation of the course,
– To ensure that our participants understand the importance of cultural differences and diversity,
– Our participants have an understanding of the importance of communication and the privilege of language diversity and the awareness of learning a new language.
Our project includes 5 international learning, teaching or training mobility (physical mobility), 6 E-twinning (virtual) mobility. Virtual mobilities will take place before each physical mobility. The final virtual mobility will be planned and carried out by teachers to prepare “More Coding, More Robotics, More Students” lesson plans and activity books, which are important outputs of our project. The first international mobility of our project in Belgium in March 2021, the second mobility in May 2021 in Turkey, the third mobility in September 2021 in Spain, the fourth mobility in Sweden in March 2022, and the last mobility will be held in Italy in May 2022. Europass mobility certificate will be given to the participants in all mobilities in our project. Also, international activities will be supported with local events. In our project, robotic coding Maker event will be held to be organized in all countries. We will continue to expand our activities with international, local and virtual events. Our project will be procedurally; demonstrated, project-based teaching, applied and theoretical.
