From August 29th to September 8th 2016 Mandoulides Schools are holding the Art & Science Days program. The main objective of the program is to bring students closer to the world of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) and art.
The innovative program is aimed at Elementary, Junior High and Senior High school students both of Mandoulides and other schools of the city and the wider region of Central Macedonia, public and private alike, and it is FREE of charge.
The Art & Science Days program includes:
- Mandoulides Computer Epathlon & Hackathlon Camp
(29 - 30/08/2016) for 4th - 9th Grade students.
Through a variety of activities, students get to know the secrets of programming and develop a creative relationship with the computer. They create their own games and are eventually able to program a real toy car that can move independently! They also program applications for mobile and Android devices using the MIT App Inventor 2 programming environment, and compose electronic music using image processing techniques and creating multimedia stories.Instructors: Ch. Malliarakis and Mandoulides Schools teachers.
- Mandoulides Programming Day
(31/08/2016) for Junior - Senior High School students.
The program includes the following thematic units: Introduction to Programming, Variables, Operators, Sequence Structure, If Statements, Loops, Algorithms and Programs Development. Younger students learn to program in specially designed virtual microworlds, create virtual robots and solve playful problems. Older students are taught algorithms and ways of designing and solving problems, and finally present their solutions in programming languages such as C and C ++.Instructor: Ch. Malliarakis.
- Mathematical Games
(01 - 02/09/2016) for 5th - 6th Grade students.
The program aims to guide and motivate children to approach the basic concepts of mathematics, combining knowledge with fun. Students engage in solving mathematical puzzles through playful and original experiential mathematical activities that help them love Mathematics.Instructors: E.
