RESEARCH PROJECTS
STRAW PROJECT
INVESTIGATION OF STRAW-BASED CONSTRUCTION PANELS
This is a pilot project attempting to develop environmentally friendly straw-based building panel to explore its properties. Straw could help in achieving carbon emission reduction. It is renewable and can be grown locally and absorbs CO2. It is cost effective and available renewable material providing harmless and safe living environment.
Modelling Educational Robot (MER)
Erasmus+: Cooperation for innovation and the exchange of good practices
The project "Modelling educational robot" is meeting the necessity of the 21st Digital Century Society to implement as much as possible in the regular and open curriculum the subject programming and robotics. Robotics helps address the growing demand for teaching science, technology, engineering and maths in schools. By exemplifying technology directly by programming the robot, students also learn about science, engineering, and maths and get an understanding of how these subjects link together. It is enhancing the student's understanding of what machines CAN and CAN'T do, which is also the best way to address student's fears in this area. By programming robots, students can discover if they have the aptitude and interest in the job market of the future, and the truth is, that there’s no doubt that there will be a need for people to be involved in programming mechanical devices in the foreseeable future.
