  • Zbigniew Karwasiński: The era of BBC micro:bit is coming – Unleash your students’ creativity with a device that changes the development of digital skills.

DESCRIPTION:

Join the worldwide STEAM revolution! The BBC micro:bit is not a robot, but it can become a robot. It is programmable in many ways. A device half the size of a credit card holds a lot of technology. Buttons, touch sensor, motion sensor and even a small screen and a bluetooth module! All programmable. But that’s just the beginning of the fun. Because you can attach other devices too.

You can use the BBC micro:bit to learn programming or create amazing, fun devices, brilliant educational projects. Turn a piece of ordinary cardboard into iWatch, robots, fully automatic dollhouses, musical instruments, laboratory and measuring devices. The possibilities are endless thanks with the modules available.

Micro:bit was designed by the BBC in the UK. It is extremely popular in schools around the world. The BBC Micro:bit is the essence of STEAM education (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics).

  • Małgorzata Ciżnicka, Martyna Dominiak-Świgoń: Speakers at the start! Oxford style of debating at school

DESCRIPTION:

The Chinese philosopher Confucius probably said: “Tell me and I will forget, show me and I will remember, let me do and I will understand.” One effective method to engage students in acquiring new knowledge and developing skills is through debate. To understand complex issues such as climate change and population migration, they need to be discussed carefully.

During the meeting, you will receive tips on how to organize a debate (online and onsite) at school, how to involve students in the organization and participation in the event. An Oxford-style debate is a great learning adventure for the whole class, especially in distance learning.
