 Kyriaki Kouroupi. 5th kindergarden. Ierapetra . Greece

The successful completion of the activities for the first two months of our European program, "CASTLES, WATER AND MYSTERIES: A MAGICAL STEAM JOURNEY WITH LITTLE AEOLUS," is announced. Every day, our students enjoy play and new knowledge, and are introduced experientially and playfully to the principles of Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics (STEAM). In September and October, our mission was to explore towers around the world. We learned what a tower is, traveled globally and got to know famous towers and their uses, created fantastic stories about heroes who lived in towers, designed, built, measured, and compared towers, and above all, we played, had fun, and sang wholeheartedly. We learned what Artificial Intelligence is and utilized it as luggage throughout this journey. We present to you some of our creations!
