This course gives guidance to teachers who intend to develop math research workshops for students. The workshops encourage students to engage in and eventually learn math by discovering and researching it. The math research workshop develop students’ creativity, initiative, critical thinking, problem solving skills, etc., and give students the chance to exchange ideas by working in groups both within their workshop and with students from a different math research workshop.

This introductory  Robotics course  uses the LEGO® MINDSTORMS® EV3 Education Core Set (hardware referred to as EV3) and EV3 Education Edition Programming Software (free download) to teach the first steps on  STEM Robotics to middle school students.

The course goals are: learning  to build, to program, and to test  solutions relatives to STEM problems.
This course  is divided into the following arguments: 
1. Opening the EV3 kit
2. Learning the EV3 Programming SW
3. Building  your first mobile robot
4. Moving your robot.

This course aims to help teachers prepare lessons and laboratories for their students, during which students can examine critically their own diet using the Inquiry-based learning (IBL) method to discover which are the most resource intensive foods. The calculation of  carbon, ecological and water footprints is the starting point for making more sustainable choices. This can be done with an excel spreadsheet or with the game” My pyramid”."

The goals of the course are:

- to stimulate the ability to argue and critical thinking on issues related to sustainable development;

- to promote changes in attitudes and behaviors both individually and collectively;

-to design and implement individual and collective actions for sustainable development.

The health of our planet depends on the food we eat every day. The interactions between the different compartments of the biosphere (air, water, soil) determine the possibilities for all living beings to survive.
