Educational Visit to Lotru Hydropower Plant – Ciunget – Students’ Worksheets

During the educational visit to Lotru Hydropower Plant – Ciunget, students collected technical data about the hydropower plant, water flow and energy production. They completed worksheets using information gathered during the visit and observed key equipment such as turbines, generators, transformers, the control room and large water pipes, connecting mathematics and science with real-world renewable energy production.

During the educational visit to Craiova International Airport, students collected real data and used mathematics to explore practical aspects of aviation and sustainability. Working in groups, they completed worksheets on fuel consumption and CO₂ emissions, speed–distance–time, and airport electricity consumption and solar energy, connecting classroom knowledge with a real-life context.

Students worked collaboratively in this Google Sheet to analyse and compare renewable and non-renewable energy sources, using data on energy output, CO₂ emissions and costs. They completed tables, discussed the advantages and disadvantages of different energy sources, and used their conclusions to create digital posters promoting responsible energy use and environmental awareness.

During the “Wind of Change” activity, students worked collaboratively with real data related to wind energy. They performed mathematical calculations, entered the results into shared tables and created graphs to represent and compare the data.
The collaborative spreadsheet allowed students to apply mathematics in a practical context, analyse the results and better understand the relationship between wind speed and the energy produced by a wind turbine.
The activity combined Mathematics, Science and Technology and encouraged teamwork, problem-solving and the use of digital tools.

A Great Achievement!

Our eTwinning project, which we carried out in parallel with our Erasmus+ project “The Mathematics of Reality STEAM”, has been awarded both the National Quality Label and the European Quality Label!

Bringing mathematics into real life and working collaboratively with our partners from different countries, we are truly proud and happy that our efforts have been recognized with these valuable awards.

We would like to thank all our dedicated teachers and students who contributed to this success. We are proud to share this wonderful achievement that we accomplished together!

As this amazing school year comes to a close, we invite you to watch the video story of our eTwinning project!

How do you bring mathematics closer to students’ lives? Our answer was simple: through the STEAM approach, integrating numbers with art, digitalisation, and green energy!

Throughout these months, our students proved that mathematics is everywhere in our reality. By engaging in collaborative and interactive activities, they didn’t just solve real-world problems—they developed essential 21st-century skills:

  • Collaboration in international teams
  • Efficient Communication in English
  • Critical Thinking and problem-solving
  • Creativity and top-notch digital skills

A heartfelt THANK YOU to everyone involved! Huge thanks to our wonderful international partners for an exceptional collaboration, to the dedicated teachers, to the parents who supported us every step of the way, and most importantly, to our amazing students! We are incredibly proud of your hard work, enthusiasm, and creativity. You have truly shown what it means to be active European citizens!

 

Press Play and travel with us through all the beautiful milestones of our project!

Celebrating European Excellence at our End-of-Year Ceremony! What an emotional and proud moment for our school community! During our traditional end-of-school-year celebration, we took center stage to share the amazing achievements and impact of our Erasmus+ project with parents, teachers, and local guests.

A major highlight of the event was the official award ceremony for our incredible students who took part in the international mobility to Fondi, Italy. They represented our school with immense pride, dedication, and a true European spirit! 

To ensure our community stays connected to our journey, we distributed project leaflets to all parents, showcasing our STEAM activities and open educational resources. 

Thank you to all the parents for their constant support, and congratulations to our brilliant Erasmus+ ambassadors! The future looks bright! 

 

 Our Erasmus+ project, “The Mathematics of Reality is STEAM,” has been successfully completed! 

Throughout the academic year, we organized a series of valuable activities with our students that brought mathematics together with real life and combined science, technology, engineering, and art. 

Thanks to our project, our students developed their problem-solving, collaboration, creativity, and critical thinking skills while also having the opportunity to interact with different cultures. 

 

At the end of this meaningful journey, we presented our students with certificates as a testament to their hard work and achievements. 

We would like to thank all our students, teachers, parents, and project partners who contributed to this project. 

 Because we know that math isn’t just about numbers—it’s life itself!

 Today we presented our Erasmus+ project “The Mathematics of Reality is on STEAM” during the Teachers’ Council meeting at our school. We shared the experiences, achievements, and learning opportunities gained through our mobilities in Romania and Italy. The project continues to show our students that mathematics is everywhere—in engineering, energy, art, technology, and everyday life.

 Astăzi am prezentat proiectul nostru Erasmus+ „Matematica Realității este pe STEAM” în cadrul ședinței Consiliului Profesoral al școlii. Am împărtășit experiențele, rezultatele și oportunitățile de învățare oferite de mobilitățile desfășurate în România și Italia. Proiectul demonstrează, încă o dată, că matematica este prezentă peste tot – în inginerie, energie, artă, tehnologie și în viața de zi cu zi. presentation

As part of the dissemination activities for our “The Mathematics of Reality is STEAM” Erasmus+ project, which we are carrying out in partnership with Italy and Romania, we held an informational presentation for our parents today. During the presentation, we shared the project’s objectives, the STEAM activities our students participated in, their international mobility experiences, and the outcomes achieved with our parents. We would like to thank all our parents for their interest and support for this valuable project, which brings together mathematics, science, technology, art, and engineering in education. Together, we continue to learn, create, and shape the future! presentation

What a phenomenal day! Today, our students swapped their traditional classrooms for the great outdoors, proving that “Mathematics Comes Alive in Nature!” As part of our Mathematic and STEAM Week, we successfully hosted an unforgettable Open Air Orienteering Competition.

Armed with  their smartphones, the students utilized the Actionbound app to tackle mind-bending puzzles—including decoding secret messages in Morse Code! It wasn’t just about speed; it was a true test of:

Teamwork

Problem Solving

Critical Thinking

Pure Fun!

Huge congratulations to all the participating teams (shoutout to Team Alfa, Divele lumii, BVPC, and all the brilliant minds on the leaderboard) who managed to score a perfect 100 points! You showed incredible spirit and sharp intellect.
