3d printing is an innovative teaching and learning practice. Teachers participating in ODS schools have already started implementing it. The ODS 3d printing @ Schools Community comes with a focus on discussing, organising and presenting design elements for 3D printing, while reusing existing infrastructure (Fab Labs, ICT and 3D printing equipment) in a dynamic pedagogical context, in order to address learning and teaching needs with new educational content. Aim of this community is to raise

Childhood and adolescent obesity is a major global and European public health problem. This is a community for teachers and students that would like to get engaged in a series of voluntary spontaneous activities, data collection methods and discussions with the eventual aim to address the issue of obesity and to provide researchers with much needed data, enabling them to influence policy makers to adopt new strategies on the issue of childhood obesity.

People living near active volcanoes can play a vital role in the monitoring and management of environmental hazards. Citizen science has been one of the most effective and exciting applications of crowdsourcing, with a whole heap of fascinating projects benefiting from pulling the crowd of enthusiastic amateurs into their endeavours. Whilst many of these projects have important goals in mind, there is one that has arguably a more important outcome than most. Citizen science projects that use low

CMS Virtual Visits offer students, teachers and the general public a unique opportunity to explore the experimental site of the CMS detector. Through a web-based videoconference, CMS scientists interact with visitors in their native language, explain the physics and technology behind the experiment, and answer their questions. The technical requirements for taking part in a virtual visit are:​ Recent computer with a (preferably wired) network of minimum 1.0 Mbps Video projector and a

Welcome to the CREATIONS community How can young people’s interest in science be increased? 16 partners from ten European countries want to break new ground. In CREATIONS, a project funded by the European Union, they develop creative approaches based on art for an engaging science classroom. The CREATIONS community portal creates a vital environment of innovative approaches, activities and resources for teachers and students towards Scientific Research. All tools hosted in this portal are based

This is the Community of the brave students from the Fifth Grade of Ellinogermaniki Primary School. Starting from September 2018, they managed in April 2019 to visit Mars and create a sustainable living ecosystem! Through a creative process of designing, creating, inquiring, experimenting, and exploring, our students used a storytelling platform where they developed and published stories about a future Mars Mission with the aim to develop a sustainable community on Mars. The main concept applied

Today, we are able to study the universe in many colors that can’t be seen with our eyes. From detecting X-rays, to listening to the radio universe, we are able to use digital detectors to “see” hidden aspects of distant objects. In this Hangout, we will review the electromagnetic spectrum... This community is part of the collection of communities devoted to the Inspiring Science Educaiton Hangout Series. Each community has an associated hangout where Dr. Pamela Gay, renowed astronomer and
