Working with the 1st Gymnasium of Volos on disaster preparedness l. 21 students and their teachers visited the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering. Students worked hands on and in teams, using resources from our Erasmus+ project Reach Out which builds school resilience as safe havens that support students and their families through natural disasters.

On May 6, 2026 the 4nd Evening Vocational High School of Volos visited the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering of the University of Thessaly to engage in activities related to computational thinking. Computational thinking, a problem-solving process that involves decomposition, pattern recognition, abstraction, and stepwise solution, is particularly important in vocational education, where problem-solving capacity plays a central role and has direct applications in real-world professional settings. The 25 participants/students used project-developed resources and conducted activities to reduce a home’s energy consumption across 3 scenarios: winter (cold climate), summer (hot climate), and autumn (no heating or cooling required). Students particularly enjoyed the activities and developed a deeper understanding of computational thinking and its benefits.

On April 29, 2026 the 2nd Evening Vocational High School of Volos visited the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering of the University of Thessaly to engage in activities related to computational thinking. Computational thinking, a problem-solving process that involves decomposition, pattern recognition, abstraction, and stepwise solution, is particularly important in vocational education, where problem-solving capacity plays a central role and has direct applications in real-world professional settings. Students had the opportunity to reflect on the benefits of computational thinking. Then, they piloted the project-developed resources and conducted activities to reduce a home’s energy consumption across 3 scenarios: winter (cold climate), summer (hot climate), and autumn (no heating or cooling required). Students particularly enjoyed the activities and developed a deeper understanding of computational thinking and its benefits

CTLL co-organised the final conference of Erasmus+ project BuildAsNature, which was hosted at the University of Reykjavik on March 18, 2026. Participants had the opportunity to see a demonstration of the BuildAsNature game, which develops skills on nature-based solutions design. In addition, European researchers on game design and development gave their perspectives on design learning games for impact.

Our project LET's MIMIC was presented on March 11, 2026 to the Soroptimist Society of Volos. The audience was familiarised with biomimicry concepts for designing solutions inspired by natural models and processes, and for using the wisdom of nature to empower women as designers and pillars of their communities. The audience was very actively engaged in an exchange on improving the quality of life in Volos through green spaces, vertical gardens, green roofs, and parks to promote cleaner air and flood protection.

Last week we had the pleasure of working with the 1st Vocational High School of Volos. 40 students visited the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering and designed biomimicry solutions (inspired by natural models and processes) by using the Erasmus+ Let's Mimic (http://letsmimic.eu) digital learning platform. Students worked in groups to introduce nature-based solutions for addressing climate change impact in our town of Volos.

This week we had the pleasure to work with students from the 3rd Gymnasium of Nea Ionia, Volos, who visited the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering of the University of Thessaly. 30 students, accompanied by their teachers, designed biomimicry solutions for improving the quality of life in their hometown of Volos, using the digital learning platform and educational resources of the Erasmus+ project LET's MIMIC, which introduces biomimicry in learning. Students designed solutions for increasing greenery, reducing emissions, protecting from floods, and more.
