Aim: |
 |
|
"Ellinourgimata" was a R&D
Project involving the educational exploitation of the Ancient Greek Technology.
The Project concerned the creation of 5 different
software by which 5 different ancient devices and mechanism are simulated:
-
the Iron hand,
-
the Archimedes screw,
-
the Burning mirrors,
-
the Odometer and
-
the Gates of the temple.

 |
|
The Lab's main activities in this
Project were:
-
determining the educational specifications of the software,
-
investigating the ways students of grades 10-11 create meanings related to 3-D space and to mathematics embodied in the simulations,
-
conducting evaluation case studies in two public schools so as to investigate how the computer simulated environments could be useful for exploratory activities.
