After two years of project implementation, our project will be finally completed this month! We worked hard to produce high quality materials and provide the best possible education for our target audiences. In total, we have developed three different project
What is 3D printing and how it works?
3D printing (3DP) is a very useful tool for those working in machinery revamping. It is increasingly used in workshops and makerspaces all around the world. 3D printing is a general term for a set of technologies that can build
Training trainers with the Refitting Machine project
Last week, during the 8th, 9th and 10th of September, the Refitting Machine project consortium organised online training sessions for the future trainers who will implement all the training material of the project. The participants also had the opportunity to
What is Circular Economy? And how can it improve our world?
The current industrial model is based on a linear economy. We take resources from the earth to make products, which we use, and, when we no longer want them, throw them away. Take-make-waste. But the current system is no longer
Teaching the digital natives
It is considered that each generation has its own values, objectives, attitudes, challenges and models, and the characteristics of a generation are defined by exposure to common experiences and influences. Even though experiences differ from one cultural space to another,
5 Business and Machinery Revamping Applications with Arduino
Machinery revamping has gained momentum in the last decades due to the increasing environmental concerns and rapid technology evolution. Due to the constant technological innovations, machines are rendered obsolete faster than ever. Machineries are expensive pieces of equipment and integral
STEM Discovery Campaign 2021
Every year, SCIENTIXT organizes annual campaigns focusing in stem education. This year, the 2021 STEP Discovery Campaign paid tribute to the work done in order to improve STEM education in Europe, with a variety of activities focusing on sustainability and citizenship.
Design and Engineering for all
Design & Engineering is the iterative process used to transform an idea into detailed information from which an object can be manufactured. Its goal is to develop and improve solutions and may involve experiments to better understand the problem or
Understanding ARDUINO through problem-based learning
Technological advances have revolutionised access to information. Their development has had a direct impact on the area of education and training. The use of ICT has promoted the use of web-based learning platforms and the incorporation of innovative methodologies that
Third online Team Project Meeting
