A story of one robot ...

Certain robot was flying his jet through the universe looking for a planet where he could settle. In the end he found the planet with a name he didn't know. When he landed he noticed the remains of the First War of Planets. Without further ado, he started building robots. When he built robots he gave them names. Next, the robots started building houses and cleaning the planet. Inhabitants decided that the planet will be called "Robozeland" from now on. The number of robots was increasing with every single day. One day, one of them lost the important part thanks to which he existed. The robots did not have much time left, but they did everything they could to find that part. One of the residents set off for a trip to find the missing part. Finally, he reached the planet called the Earth which inhabitants helped the stranger from the foreign planet with joy. Thanks to the people the robot was saved and from now on the inhabitants of "Robozeland" help people with their work.

We are designing our town on Mars

How should our town on Mars look like? How should we build it to make it modern, efficient, environmently friendly and nice-looking town? Here are our designs of the town on the Mars presented via photo shows:

 

 

 

Teaching aids concerning astronomy

INTERNATIONAL TEACHING AIDS

The international (Polish-German-Spanish) teams of students worked out presentations about the Solar system. Each team worked out at least one planet and prepared a multimedia presentation on the theme. Additionally, some groups  created the 3D movies of the planets in Golem Game. The presentations constitute an excellent source of information about the Solar System and are indispensable teaching aids during lessons of different subjects touching on the the theme of astronomy.


INTERDISCIPLINARY LESSON

At the Polish partner school there was organized a special interdisciplinary lesson of astronomy in English. During the lesson, the students could develop their listening, reading and speaking skills by solving different kinds of tasks.

Machines needed to build the new settlement

The lift is very useful in bulding a new settlement to lift very heavy things, lower things and move buildings.

HOVERCRAFT

It plays a very importnat function on the planet Mars. Among them the most significant are: transporting things or partolling dangerous areas.

Building a new settlement

We are building a new settlement on the planet Mars. We want to create a town to settle down. We have got special machines which are very helpful in buiding, especially in such difficult groubnd conditions like on the Mars. Take a look at the effects of  our work:

Teleportation to the Mars via a wormhole

Our engineers worked out a device for teleportation of people and machines to the Mars. The journey takes place by means of a wormhole with the speed of light thanks to the change into photons of everything what there is in our station and sending to the second station which receives the photons and changes them into matter again. In this way the journey and transport last only about 260 seconds. Thanks to this invention, the distance of about 78 million kilometres is covered in just 4 minutes, not so long like it has been so far (about 8 months). The scientists are working on doubling the speed of light to shorten the journey. Thanks to this device, the conquest of space is only the matter of time. Our scientists are  trying to work out more efficient fuel and new kinds of engines which will allow us to move faster in the space.

How to get energy?

We want to build a new settlement on the planet Mars. We want to build a town but we need energy to do it. Where can we get energy from?

We will gain energy from a windmill. We have built a windmill which generates energy for our town on the Mars.  

Watch the video to see it:

 

 Thanks to the windmill we are able to produce ebnergy. We can power our machines to build the new settlement. Now we are able to build the town.

Landing on the planet Mars

Our robot is landing on the planet Mars. We are going to start the settlement here:

Our robot landed in the planet Mars in the valley. We estimated the time to arrive to various points of interests. The German students prepared a Math task to solve - finding the best position on Mars for the transmitting station.

The Polish students solved the task. You can see our solution here:

We are settling down on the Mars

We are landing on the Mars

A human being is landing on the Mars. We are looking for the best place to live. We want to settle down and form a new settlement.

Our robot sent to the Mars

We are sending our robot to the Mars.

Hubertus - our robot is sent to the Mars. It has been programmed and specially prepared for this target. Any problems? Let's establish the communcation with the Earth to solve the problem. Watch the video to find out what the robot will find out.

Mini dictionary of robotics

While building and programming our robot we were collecting words and expressions in English connected with robotics. We selected and grouped the vocabulary, then translated it into Polish, German and Spanish. In this way a multilingual dictionary was created. It is a helpful tool in the work on the project as a useful source of knowledge for anyone who wants to get basic knowlegde of the foreign languages.

Take a look at the effects of our work here:

PLAYING WITH LEGO BRICKS

Our project has inspired the younger representatives of our families to be interested in the theme of robotics. Even the youngest pupils of our kindegarten have contribution in our project. They stimulate creative thinking and ability to constuct robots while playing with the Lego bricks. Lego Hero Factory is the set they use to build robots and create stories about them.

Mars exploration

SKYPE NAVIGATING AND STEERING THE ROBOT

Skype conference between the German and Polish students. German and Polish teams navigate and steer a robot by skype and smartphone. We have found the best team for a Mars exploration.

Cyber machines

Like every town, the Cyber Town needs its own machines and equipment. Are they the ordinary machines or the special ones? We design vehicles, rockets, flying objects and other machines and tools for our Cyber Town. Take a look here:

What will our future be like? What kind of robots will we use? Will they help us with our housework? How will the robots look like? Will they differ from human beings? Let's share our ideas about future robots.

INTERVIEWING TOURISTS
Spanish students are interviewing tourists in their country to assess impact of robots on their lives. You can listen to example interviews here:

 

Podcasting

PODCASTING
Our students are investigating   the use of ICT and robots of their  countries at their homes and at their jobs for their virtual new planet or world. How to improve their environment, their way of living, their future jobs, for disabled people, their economy, culture, to discover new planets, etc. They made up a radio broadcast, role-plays relating to  their parents' jobs, their parents help them with their experience in  working ICT or robots in their jobs. Role- plays at Hospitals, at Courts, at a factory, ( the use of robots)  in businessess, etc The idea is to get the suitable information to create a new planet and their habitants that's why they are creating a robot to discover a new planet, to help manking to live better, never as a sustitute. They first investigate the robots and ICT around them. They develop communicative & science competence.

We created some podcast. Here are the examples:
