Innovative robotics workshop at Ellinogermaniki Agogi

This summer at Ellinogermaniki Agogi, a pilot site of the NEB|LAB ECO²-SCHOOLS, students participate in an innovative robotics workshop that combines technology with sustainability. This hands-on activity involves creating a platform for a solar panel that can follow the sun’s movement, demonstrating the practical application of renewable energy concepts.

Using LEGO Mindstorms kits, students build and program their solar tracking platforms. They learn about the mechanics of gear systems and sensors, which are crucial for the precise movement of the solar panel. The EV3 Intelligent Brick imitate the robot’s brain, processing inputs from light sensors to adjust the panel’s angle and optimize sunlight capture throughout the day. By engaging in this activity, students gain a deep understanding of how technology can enhance energy efficiency and contribute to a greener future. They learn to program their robots using a block-based interface, developing critical thinking and problem-solving skills essential for future innovators.
