EDUCA 2017: we <3 education
Every year the festival of education is a call to meet and share questions, experiences and reflections. The event is an opportunity for questioning clichés and stereotypes around education. It is also an opportunity to spread the essence of education: a daily exciting and creative adventure that rejects the ingenuousness but not spontaneity and capacity of questioning themselves.
EDUCA is an event based on the awareness that education is a “big deal” that requires rigorous approaches and shuns any hasty improvisation or reassuring habit, but since it involves everybody, it should be treated with tones and accessible ways.
Below are the activities designed and led by FBK researchers for Schools:
Workshop

About one-third of greenhouse gas emissions are due to activities related to cultivating, breeding, fishing and hunting the food we eat. Eating habits and food wastage are important bot only for our health, but also for that of the world in which we live. The workshop proposes some issues related to wastage and nutrition, and connects them to the impact that these have on the environment around us. Through a “food monopoly”, children have the opportunity to apply what they have learned by building a healthy diet, donating excess food and helping to reduce our “footprint” on the planet.
Maximum number of participants: 25

Every student in every school should have the opportunity to learn how to program. And with Code Time they can do it having fun by building animations and solving simple problems. The initiative, originated in the United States, allows adults and children with no previous experience to approach programming concepts (sequence, iteration, selection…). In addition to arousing interest in one of the professions that will be among the most popular in coming years, the workshop offers a fascinating and rigorous way of thinking.
Maximum number of participants: 25
