Our European Project in Leonardo area has been approved.
Reading time: 1.5 minutesThe Project "Tomorrow Becomes Today, submitted in the LLP-Leonardo area has been approved. Its coordinator is the Polish vocational/ technical secondary school (EDU-SCHVoc) based in the city of Wodzisław Śląski. The School of Robotics amongst its partnership. The other partners are from Turkey, Italy, the Czech Republic, and the United Kingdom.
The project is directed towards students at the age of 16-19. It concentrates on developing the cooperation between teams of teachers and students from partner countries and also between experts from various areas. The aim of this cooperation is to increase professional skills of the project participants.
The project realisation will allow students to satisfy their needs in increase skills. The labour market cooperation will influence the awareness of correlation between knowledge and practice. It will show practical ways of using it and it will familiarise the participants with different technological solutions. Students, by taking part in the project and becoming acquainted with different technological ideas, will acquire skills increasing their chances in European occupational market. Schools participating in the project will have an opportunity to evaluate their own curriculums and to choose solutions, effectively used in partner countries, which succour the educational process.
Our project will result with mechatronics systems including: database, web application, Kinect controller, mobile platforms (iOS, Android, WP 7) apps used to connect with database or web server and control our final devices f.e. printers. It will be collective creation of all partners. The project gives the opportunity to confront and develop their skills with creative thinking. Furthermore, students will acquire new skills as no school teaches mobile systems and Kinect programming. All products and activities will be presented in special printed album and website. What is more, the effects of our cooperation will be edited and published in English and also in national languages of all participants on website and multimedia files. A very important will also be promotion of the LdV program.
The project realisation will allow students to satisfy their needs in increase skills. The developers (companies which create/progam and develop desktop computers and mobile systems applications) cooperation will influence the awareness of correlation between knowledge and practice. It will show practical ways of using it and it will familiarise the participants with different technological solutions. Students, by taking part in the project and becoming acquainted with different technological ideas, will acquire skills increasing their chances in European occupational market. Schools participating in the project will have an opportunity to evaluate their own curriculums and to choose solutions, effectively used in partner countries, which succour the educational process.
Mobile platforms develop very fast and more and more mobile devices using iOS, Android or WP7 (smartphones, tablets, e-book readres). The same about Microsoft Kinect controller. New skills in this field let our students achieve a competitive position in the labour market. Our labour market partners have huge experience in creating software for mobile systems and Kinect which guarantees us high quality of application made by us during project's realization.
