November 2022 - Our students have also programmed a simulation with scratch the energy produced by a wind turbine. They can simulate the speed of the wind and how much energy is produced.

October 2022 - Elaboration of models of mechanisms to generate renewable energy. The students chose what type of mechanism they wanted to make. Some have made a wind generator out of cardboard and a motor that turns on an LED inside a house. Others have made a water pump that moves water with a solar panel. Others have chosen to make a solar panel that turns on an LED from old CDs. It has been difficult, but it has been worth it to see the wind turbine working or the LEDs being lit from the small solar panels.

 6 October 2022 - On our fourth day in Gaziantep, we first had a debate with the environmental engineer in the Eco-building about the current climate crises. Then, each country presented information on the implementation of renewable energies in each of our countries. 

After that, we had the certification ceremony and we all got our Erasmus Certificates. After lunch we had a great time at Gaziantep’s theme park

In the evening we had a farewell dinner outdoorsm which was great fun as we had really good food and music.

These are our presentations:

 5 October 2022 - In the morning we went back to the Eco-building of Gaziantep and we learned a lot about wind turbines and solar energy. In groups we built a wind turbine that turned using solar power. Groups had to work together to use the right pieces and make all the electric connections to make the model work. It wasn’t easy and took quite a long time, but it was worth it!

After lunch we went to Gaziantep’s zoo, where we had a very pleasant time.

 3 October 2022 -  On our first day in Gaziantep we all met in the Eco-building and the environmental engineer introduced the building and the way is completely energy efficient.

We visited the building, the gardens and the solar park and we returned to the auditorium. We then presented our work done on the project since we started the project. All schools explained the activities done in their schools and we stopped for lunch. In the afternoon, we completed two workshops, one called “solar bugs” to learn how solar panels are used to make something move, and the other one to build a model of a sustainable house having to choose the most appropriate materials. 

We finished the day by walking to the botanical gardens which are located nearby.

Our presentation on the work done since the start of the project:

 May 2022 - In preparation for our first mobility in the project to Turkey, we are learning about renewable energies sources. We learned how to obtain them in order to start building our own models. In groups we have chosen diferent types of models (building a solar panel from an old phone battery, building a wind turbine, a water pump, etc). We hope we will have them all ready before we go to Gazientep (Turkey in October)
