SciHack

Oraselul Copiilor Oradea

22 oct. 10:00-16:00

Evenimentul SciHack este compus din doua parti: una teoretica, de prezentare a cauzelor si efectelor schimbarilor climatice (interpretare imagini obtinute din sateliti, compozitia atmosferei Pamantului, poluarea si gazele cu efect de sera, temperatura, presiune, umiditate, conservarea energiei, scrierea de coduri in Python, utilizand Raspberry Pi) si de gasire a solutiilor pentru incetinirea producerii acestui fenomen. Cea de-a doua parte este una practica de construire a unei centrale eoliene si solare Lego dar si de programare a brick-ului Mindstorms Education astfel incat sa obtinem energie electrica din energie nepoluanta.

Prin organizarea acesui eveniment urmarim dezvoltarea unor abilitati, precum: gandire critica, creativitatea, lucrul in echipa si colaborarea intre echipe, abilitati de comunicare si prezentare a produselor realizate, grija pentru mediu.

Evenimentul propus se bazeaza pe activitati transdisciplinare de motivare a copiilor pentru programare si stiinta (fizica, chimie) care sa dezvolte abilitati sociale, de comunicare, de rezolvare de probleme, de gasire a solutiilor, de leadership, de formare a unei atitudini active de protejare a mediului inconjurator.

Evenimentul este gratuit si se adreseaza copiilor de 10-14 ani, face parte din initiativa Meet and Code.

Evenimentul este finantat cu ajutorul programului Meet and Code (https://www.meet-and-code.org/) sustinut la nivel european de compania de software SAP. Meet and Code 2022 este coordonat de Haus des Stiftens gGmbH si reteaua TechSoup Europe si sustine, pentru al 6-lea an consecutiv, evenimente de tehnologie si programare aliniate cu misiunea initiativei Comisiei Europene: Europe Code Week.

In Romania, programul Meet and Code este coordonat de Asociatia Techsoup. Din 2010, Asociatia Techsoup (https://asociatiatechsoup.ro) creeaza si ofera resurse IT si experiente de invatare a tehnologiei pentru organizatii nonprofit, tineri si profesori. Asociatia Techsoup este castigatoare a premiului Digital Skills Awards, competitie organizata de Comisia Europeana.

Educational project ORADEAstronomy


Initiator: Matei Valentina, the president  of the Astronomy and Space Science Club of Oradea.
The project team: Daniela Hent, Nicoleta Matei, Mihaela Tarcau, Valentina Matei.
Target group: 500 children (10-16 years old).

Total project value: 10537 lei (2850 USD)
The project is funded by the Oradea Community Foundation, with the support of the Romanian-American Foundation and the Community Foundations Federation in Romania.
The project lasts 6 months (February-July 2018) and includes 10 theoretical, practical and astronomical observations. Eight activities take place in The Children' Educational Center of Oradea and the other two activities at Gymnasium Schools No. 1 Tarian and Cheresig (Bihor County).

Meet and Code 2017

During the EU Meet and Code 2017 event, Astronomy and Space Science Club (a NGO organization) from Oradea City, Romania, organized two educational activities: 'Astronaut for a day' and 'Mars Exploration Rover'.
Location: The Children's Educational Center in Oradea, Romania
Time: October 18-th and 21-st, 2017.


'During one of the 30 coding events in Romania, some participants even explored Mars! Organizers of the Mars Exploration Rover event from the Astronomy and Space Science Club in Oradea, showed children the images transmitted by satellites and later moved on to the presentation of a LEGO Mindstorms robot kit. It was an introduction of an exciting task: to design, construct and program their own rovers and explore Mars. The participants built 3D models of the Lego Space Challenge EV3 and learned how to code NXT 2.00 rover for specific tasks. The results were really impressive!'

World Space Week 2017

Dacia School Oradea, Romania
October 5, 2017

The outer space, or just space, is the expanse that exists beyond the Earth and between celestial bodies.

The space is not completely empty. It is a hard vacuum containing a low density of particles predominantly a plasma of hydrogen, magnetic fields, neutrinos, dust and cosmic rays




Inflight call with an astronaut

West University of Timisoara, Romania
January 24, 2017

On 24 January 2017, teachers from Romania, Ireland and Portugal were connected by video connection with ESA astronaut, Thomas Pesquet, who were on ISS.

After a national competition, Romanian Space Agency (ROSA) and European Space Education Resource Office (ESERO) selected 5 Romanian teachers to ask Thomas questions about how space is used in everyday life and how the many applications from space research have changed the way we live.

My question was 'What kind of research are you conducting during the Proxima mission that could contribute to new technologies to be used in our daily life?' (from 3:23 minute to 4:40 minute in this video).

World Space Week: Sputnik I

October 4-th, 2016
"Dacia" School, in Oradea City, Romania

History changed on October 4, 1957, when the Soviet Union successfully launched Sputnik I. The world's first artificial satellite was about the size of a ball (58 cm. in diameter), weighed only 83.6 kg. and took about 98 minutes to orbit the Earth on its elliptical path.
The people's lives can be change through education, hard work and perseverance. Students from 5A grades watched "October Sky", an amazing movie about these.
