ALPER (Erasmus+ KA220SCH)
Website of Project: ALPER-EU Agile Learning with Programmable Educational Robotics
ALPER-EU (Agile Learning with Programmable Educational Robotics) is an innovative initiative that brings together educational robotics and agile programming methods.
Our students will explore coding through short cycles of creation, testing, and teamwork – just like real technology teams in Europe. They will learn by building, programming, and improving robots using visual programming platforms and hands-on kits, making learning playful and collaborative.
Dr. Alexandros Roniotis, our principal and Scientix Ambassador, connects our school to the European STEM network, bringing international best practices directly into the classroom.
The project involves schools and organizations from Greece, Malta, Croatia, Lithuania, and Portugal, and aims to introduce children aged 6–12 to agile teamwork, problem-solving, and educational robotics. Over two years, partners will develop a full Agile Programming Curriculum with 60 robotics “sprints,” combining creativity, coding, and real-world problem solving.
ALPER-EU also introduces a unique engagement-assessment tool using computer vision to help teachers monitor students’ participation, supporting inclusive and effective learning.
With ALPER-EU, our classrooms embrace collaboration, innovation, and the joy of learning through robotics – preparing our students for the digital world of tomorrow.
