Using the Activity Kit ICT Challenges

In the "Activity KIT" document, there are 50 potential challenges, presented as
individual worksheets, 10 for each of the technologies: 3D modelling and 3D
printing, Coding, Robotics, Microcontrollers, and Web development. Each set of
10 challenges is further divided into 4 beginner, 3 intermediate, and 3 advanced
levels.
The challenges are designed to be completed in a time frame ranging from 30 to
50 minutes. Beginner-level challenges are intended for initial approaches to
these activities, while progressing to the advanced level allows tackling more
elaborate tasks, never reaching the complexity of robotics contests or similar
events.

It is crucial to note that these are not tutorials, so there are no step-by-step
descriptions of how to perform the activity and solve the challenge. Instead, there
are suggestions and considerations regarding necessary resources, learning

objectives, etc. In this regard, it is important to emphasise that
educators/trainers intending to use them for educational activities with their
learners or learners must already possess the necessary technical skills
related to the respective technology, as described above in this document.
The worksheet for each challenge starts with a title, usually presented as a
question, followed by a brief description of the objective to achieve. Next is the
"Getting started guide" paragraph, providing a general overview of the challenges,
including different levels and the skills expected to be transferred through the
activities.

The "Learning objectives" are then listed, describing both the technical aspects
and potential curriculum-related contents. For example, in a robotics
challenge, this might involve understanding how a traffic light functions, providing
insights for lesson plans or further exploration.
Each worksheet includes a list of necessary materials and one containing
suggestions on how to adapt to different learners, including those with special
needs. Finally, the worksheet concludes with a paragraph offering suggestions on
the possible outcome of the challenge, often accompanied by images illustrating
the suggestion.

It is important to note that the final suggestions and related images are
necessarily linked to specific solutions. In the case of robotics, they refer to the
"Lego Spike Prime" kit, for coding to "Scratch," for 3D modelling to "Autodesk
Tinkercad," and for microcontrollers to "Micro:Bit" and "Arduino Uno" with block-
based circuits and programming done through “Tinkercad Circuits”.
