Students from each country are developing their projects. Due to COVID19 pandemic, some schools are close and they are implementing remote learning. We have had to adapt out project to these circumstances. Students are making the most from their own homes to share their work and coordinate themselves with their colleagues from other countries.

CodeWeek 2020

STOP_COVID

This new academic year 2020-21 is quite strange. Some students or entire groups of students are confined at their homes. We are not allowed to travel abroad and many activities have to be held online. On mid October, a group of volunteers and supported by the European Commission organized the CodeWeek, a grassroots initiative which aims to bring coding and digital literacy to everybody in a fun and engaging way.

We participated in that initiative organizing an online event. Using the tools presented in our first mobility (Girona, November 2018), students had to create an app to make people aware of the dangers of COVID and the importance of pandemic prevention measures. Some groups created an app that included a quiz about prevention measures, others focused their efforts on what to do when you have COVID symptoms...

It was really a success. We were awarded with a recognition certificate.

Making visors to protect from the covid-19

Visors for doctors and nurses

Due to the exponential growth of Corona Virus cases in Spain, doctors and nurses in many hospitals do not have enough protective visors to be able to safely treat patients. When the news of the lack of protective material came out, the maker movement began to coordinate to manufacture the necessary material with 3D printers. From Girona we join this movement and we are printing visors for the city's hospitals.

Finalists in the JA regional competition

Eco2meter

Eco2meter is a social and sustainable project that consists of creating devices connected to a mobile application to detect the level of CO2 emissions and other polluting gases. By doing so, we make people aware of the carbon footprint we produce and its harmful effects.

Eco2Spot is a small portable device to take it everywhere, with the application you can see: the amount of CO2 in the air, statistics and tips to reduce the carbon footprint, a real-time map with the CO2 level of the data collected from others ... This product is aimed at families, individuals and municipalities, to obtain information on air quality in user neighbourhoods of the municipality
With our project we want to help people to prevent diseases that affect human health (caused by the high level of gas emissions), in addition to the devastating effect it has on climate change.

Windgo

We have designed small individual wind turbines for houses, which will serve to have their own energy, reduce the high costs of renewable energy companies and, above all, help reduce the greenhouse effect caused by non-renewable energies.
Our wind turbine is manufactured with different materials, among others, carbon fiber, fiberglass, aluminum and metal. These materials are used to manufacture the rotor blades, the rotor, the hub cover, bearing reducer and cover. Various electrical components such as a multiplier, a generator, conductors of the generated energy, a control panel, as well as a cooling system are also required.

Mobility in Kolbuszowa

Business Plan

The main topics for this mobility were learning how to make a good Business Plan and how to prepare the Financial Statements for a company. Creating a business plan is one of the most important steps for an entrepreneur in his business adventure, so you have to do it with special attention to detail. This is going to be the bait to attract investors, and will help us evaluate the viability of the business we have in hand and analyse whether it is profitable or not.

Polish students guided their partners in the four workshops that were organized to prepare the Business Plan of each international team. In addition to designing the logo and defining the mission of their mini-company, students had to perform a SWOT analysis, as well as the Financial Plan. In the end, each team had to present their work to the other teams.

 

Diffusion activity

On Friday -it was the last day of this mobility-, we had a dissemination activity in the Polish school. Regional and local authorities participated, as well as students and teachers from other schools in the area.
In this event, students from each country gave a presentation about their school and explained the contribution they made to the Erasmus + project. The audience could visualize how each project partner contributed to the project their experience in those fields in which their school was an expert.
They were also able to present their project in a Radio-Rzeszów program. We leave the link so you can listen to it: click here.

 

Financial Statements

The second topic of this mobility was to learn how to make and analyse the financial statements of a company. The Balance Sheet and the income statement provide useful information to assess the current status of a company and at the same time facilitate the decision-making process.

Polish students led the practical workshops and helped their colleagues prepare the Financial Plan for each project. In addition, students learned to prepare invoices, as well as the VAT registration.

Best innovative project

JA-YE Company of the Year competition

More than 200 young entrepreneurs, representing 40 student companies, gathered in Lille this week to compete in the Grand Finale of JA Europe’s Company of the Year Competition. Throughout the school year, the students went through the JA Company programme, an entrepreneurship education programme that bridges the gap between classrooms and workplaces. As such, teachers and business volunteers play a key role in the delivery of the programme. JA provides teachers with a series of learning-by-doing business, economics and entrepreneurship activities, while business volunteers visit the classrooms to share their experience and mentor students on career opportunities and the necessary skills required to match their ambitions.

Delta Innovative Award

After winning the national mini-company competition, the WaterSave components were being prepared during the month of June for the European final in Lille. They presented  WaterLight, a device which helps save 50% of water consumption, and raise awareness about water consumption. They had to defend their project at three levels: in the presentation before an audience of some 400 people; at a stand they set up to show the jury what the project consisted of and in the Interview Panel with the jury. The fact of having carried out the project within the framework of the Erasmus + KA229 program was an added value that the jury took into account.
