Design Thinking (CT, EE, GS) (VET)

This course provides you with practical tools, knowledge, and inspiration to integrate ESG principles and GreenComp competences into your teaching practice.

In the GreenSkills course, you will gain knowledge about leading a green business as we work with topics such as sustainability reporting, the triple bottom line, CO2 accounting, and circular economy.

Future Skills – digital, sustainable, innovative

    In this course, you will explore the future skills that learners need to thrive in an increasingly digital and complex world. The focus is on the intersection of digital technologies, sustainable development, entrepreneurial thinking, and creative making approaches. You will work with tools such as the BBC micro:bit and explore practical applications for the classroom. Throughout the module, we will draw on established European competency frameworks such as GreenComp, EntreComp, and DigComp and address key competencies from these models.

    Computational Thinking Primary

    Dieses Modul führt in das Konzept des informatischen Denkens und Problemlösens (Computational Thinking, CT) ein. Es zeigt auf, wie CT in der Primarstufe wirksam gefördert werden kann und verdeutlicht, welche Rolle interdisziplinäre Lernsettings bei seiner Entwicklung spielen. CT gilt als zentrale Kompetenz, um sich in einer digitalisierten Welt zurechtzufinden und unterstützt Schüler:innen dabei, Probleme in unterschiedlichen Fachbereichen zu lösen – nicht nur in der Informatik. Die Teilnehmenden erwerben ein fundiertes Verständnis der zentralen Konzepte und Fähigkeiten von CT, setzen sich in praktischen Aktivitäten mit grundlegender Programmierung auseinander und entwickeln didaktische sowie pädagogische Strategien für den Unterricht. Darüber hinaus werden sie befähigt, interdisziplinäre Lernszenarien zu gestalten, in denen CT auf sinnvolle und altersgerechte Weise integriert wird.

    Green Skills (Primary + Secondary)

    In diesem Kurs setzen Sie sich mit den im GreenComp-Kompetenzrahmen dargelegten Konzepten auseinander und reflektieren, wie Nachhaltigkeitskompetenzen im Unterricht der Primar- und Sekundarstufe praktisch und sinnvoll entwickelt werden können.

    Der Kompetenzrahmen benennt vier miteinander verbundene Kompetenzbereiche, die für das Lehren und Lernen von Nachhaltigkeit von zentraler Bedeutung sind:

    • Verankerung von Nachhaltigkeitswerten
    • Berücksichtigung der Komplexität der Nachhaltigkeit
    • Visionen für eine nachhaltige Zukunf
    • Handeln für Nachhaltigkeit

    Im Verlauf  des Kurses werden Sie dazu angeregt, darüber nachzudenken, wie Lernende diese Kompetenzen erwerben und durch effektive Lehr- und Lernmethoden gefördert werden können. Das Ziel besteht darin, sowohl die persönliche Entwicklung als auch die Fähigkeit zu fördern, Lernumgebungen zu gestalten, die junge Menschen dazu befähigen, aktiv zu einer nachhaltigeren Zukunft beizutragen.

    Computational Making and Entrepreneurial Skills for Teachers

      Learning objective

      By the end of this course, participants will have built a functional robot through the complete computational-making cycle and learned to translate that experience into a scaffolded learning sequence that develops both the technical and the collaborative, enterprising competences secondary students need to build and sustain a competition robotics team.

      Learning outcomes

      The participants can …

      1. Design, fabricate, and program a functional robot prototype by applying computational thinking practices across the full cycle: from problem framing through CAD modeling, 3D printing, microcontroller programming, and machine vision integration.
      2. Generate and evaluate creative solutions to open-ended design challenges, navigating ambiguity and technical constraints to converge on a viable approach.
      3. Plan and manage a collaborative robotics project by developing a shared vision, setting milestones, allocating roles, and adapting the plan in response to setbacks and shifting requirements.
      4. Work effectively in a team throughout the design-and-build process, negotiating technical decisions, leveraging diverse strengths, and giving constructive feedback under time and resource pressure.
      5. Reflect on their own learning experience in the workshop to identify how computational making and team-based project work develop both technical competence and transversal skills such as creativity, leadership, and resilience.
      6. Design a learning sequence that guides secondary students from initial exploration through to a competition-ready robot, scaffolding both the technical skills and the collaborative competences needed to build and sustain a team.

      Computational Making for Secondary Teachers

      Computational Making for Secondary Teachers

      In this course, we dive into the world of Computational Making, a pedagogical approach that combines the principles of Computational Thinking (CT) with hands-on, creative problem-solving activities.

      Entrepreneurship Education Secondary

      This course offers a hands-on introduction to entrepreneurship by guiding students through the development of a business idea and plan. Through teamwork, creative thinking, and practical tools like the Business Model Canvas, target group analysis, and basic financial planning, students will design their own startup concept. The course combines core theory with hands-on activities and encourages the use of both textbook models and external research.
