In this activity, students worked in teams and attached a micro:bit to a soft toy. Using the micro:bit CreateAI platform, they trained a Machine Learning model to recognize three different movements (e.g., rolling, shaking, resting) and integrated them into an interactive storytelling scenario. The students collected and processed motion data using the accelerometer, programmed their code in MakeCode and uploaded it to the micro:bit so that the toy could respond with sounds and images based on the detected movement.

The project also focused on biodiversity awareness: students created stories about animals or endangered species, using their smart toy as a character that “tells” facts about biodiversity and ways to protect it. They reflected on the importance of high-quality data and discussed how bias in data can affect the reliability of AI systems.

World Biodiversity Day STEM Research

March 22 is International Water Conservation Day. The purpose of celebrating this day is to highlight the importance of safe water and raise awareness about the global water crisis.

🔹In connection with Water Conservation Day, we visited the Samegrelo Zemo Svaneti regional branch of the United Water Supply Company of Georgia, the Zugdidi service center and water disinfection systems in the village of Ingiri.

🔹The students were interested in how the vitally important product - drinking water - is processed and what path it takes before it reaches our taps.

🔹They got acquainted with water laboratory research methods and the daily monitoring process. They saw how the quality of drinking water is checked automatically and how it is controlled once an hour by specialists from the chemical-microbiological laboratory. The laboratory staff gave a lecture to the students and provided information about the procedures for pumping water and distributing it to the population.

🔹 The students viewed water pumping stations, modern chlorine gas and calcium hypochlorite water disinfection systems, which are equipped with safety devices required by European standards, a chlorine chemical neutralization system, automatic control and the ability to connect to SCADA systems via the Internet.

🔹 They also visited the sewage treatment plant, water purification systems, and observed how wastewater is cleaned in accordance with the full biological cycle - where bacteriological cleaning is carried out along with mechanical cleaning, ultimately resulting in absolutely purified and harmless water flowing into the river, which is of great importance from an ecological point of view.

The events organized in collaboration with the TEMA Foundation at our school were a significant step in reinforcing environmental awareness and love for nature while also contributing valuable experiences to STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics)-focused education. Ankara TEMA Etimesgut District Representative, Ms. Hatice ERTÜRK, and her team delivered an awareness seminar on "Biodiversity" in our school's conference hall, providing students and teachers with scientific insights into the richness of ecosystems, environmental issues, and ways to protect nature. The seminar not only helped students develop environmental awareness but also enhanced their analytical thinking skills within STEM fields.

During the event, teachers and students who became members of the TEMA Foundation received their membership cards, proudly becoming part of this meaningful initiative. Since all classes became TEMA volunteers, our special education class and 8/D class were honored with a TEMA leaf award for their dedicated efforts in environmental responsibility. The most impactful part of this event was when TEMA representatives and volunteer students planted saplings in our school garden, fulfilling their responsibility for environmental protection and reforestation. Sapling planting allowed students to apply their learning in biology, environmental science, and engineering to real-life contexts. This event not only strengthened students' love for nature but also demonstrated their commitment to creating a sustainable world through STEM-driven education.

The forest ecosystem of Mount Hymettus, located near our school, has been degraded due to urban development and wildfires, which have significantly reduced green areas and open spaces.

Students learned about the importance of forests for humans and the impact of human activities on them.

In our STEM activity on Biodiversity, students worked in the school garden, selected an area with different types of trees, marked a sample quadrilateral, measured its dimensions, and calculated its surface area. They counted the trees within it and estimated tree density per square meter.

They then measured trunk perimeters to estimate the average age of the trees and used the PlantNet app to identify species such as pine, carob, cypress, and oleander.

The activity concluded with an estimation of how many trees—and of what age and species—would be lost if a road were built in that area.
