The school’s Robotics Club successfully participated in the international FIRST Lego League (FLL), one of the most important global educational robotics competitions that promotes learning through STEM principles (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics).During the competition, our students presented:Their robotic construction, designed and programmed to complete missions on the competition table using Lego Spike Prime.Their research project, in which they analyzed a scientific topic in archaeology and proposed documented and innovative solutions.More specifically, the students developed a project in a virtual reality (VR) environment where they reconstructed the ancient theater of Thorikos, located in Lavrio. Through the ClassVR headsets available at our school, they presented both the current remains of the theater and an artistic reconstruction of its structure and function in antiquity. Additionally, visitors had the opportunity to interact with AI characters created within the virtual world, representing members of the ancient Thorikos community as well as modern archaeologists and AI visitors. This project had a strong impact at the competition, with our students delivering virtual guided tours to many attendees.This experience was a meaningful learning process, strengthening computational thinking, engineering design, programming, and presentation skills, while also fostering students’ confidence and responsibility.Congratulations to our Robotics Team “AVG.L. Robotics” and to the team’s mentor, Mr. Dionysis Karibidis, for their preparation and representation of our school in the competition.
