The Blended Mobility of School Learners (C2) of the Erasmus+ project “ROBOTICS4DEAF: Robotics through Sign Language: Ensuring Access & Engagement of Students with Disabilities (Deaf or With Hearing Impairment) to the World of Coding & Robotics” was held online on 22-24 November 2021.
People with Deafness or Hearing impairment from Cyprus, Greece, Poland, Italy Latvia and Slovakia, participated in the training. Despite the fact that the event was held online there were no difficulties thanks to the sign language Interpreters who translated everything that was being said by the trainers, who set up a coding environment which was easy to follow and understand.
The participants were trained by Mr. Nicholas Moudouros from the Emphasys Centre (Cyprus), Mr. Valantis Kefalis from N.C.S.R. Demokritos (Greece) and teachers of the Margarotto School of Turin (Italy), on the following subjects:
- What is Scratch Coding?
- Scratch Coding Examples
- Scratch interface
- Scratch coding
- Lego Boost and its different robot version (guitar, cat, smarc)
- Lego Boost Coding Examples (i.e. how to lift an object; how to follow a specific itinerary)
- Advanced Lego Boost constructions (Gears / Catapult)
- Introduction to Lego Mindstorm
In between the subjects children applied what they learned with simple projects, quizzes and challenges.
The final part was devoted to a discussion on the impact of robots and computers in the lives of people and the new generation, which was moderated by the Spoleczna Akademis Nauk.
