Welcome to the “FERTILE” Project

Αn Erasmus Plus KA2 partnership promoting contemporary pedagogies that embrace cross-disciplinary learning by integrating Educational Robotics (ER) with Arts towards cultivating Computational Thinking (CT) skills in a blended learning context.

Why?

The “FERTILE” project’s core mission is to support educators design Artful Educational Robotics (ER) projects for blended learning contexts. 

Exploring the potential of integrating ER in a meaningful blended learning context by using ER simulators and enabling educators to co-design in a community platform holds the potential of promoting the post-pandemic digital transformation in education.

 

The main innovation of the “FERTILE” initiative lies in synthesizing Arts with Robotics to promote Computational Thinking. On the one hand, Arts as a discipline entails Computational Thinking, for example creating art involves problem-solving, representation of expression patterns, algorithm development, grasp the main idea of a literary text. On the other hand, physical or online robots can be considered a functional part of such processes; students create robots to represent behaviours, scenes, and motifs of poems or to describe a story in creative and out-of-the-box ways.
