A lecture was given by @GlykeriaFragki1 on "Enhancing the scientific literacy of young children through play: the PlayProofS project" and first results were disseminated! The lecture was organized by the MSc of DESECE and was addressed to postgraduate students and PhD candidates.

Lucky to have the opportunity to attend the @ESERA_org "Proposal writing session" organised by the Early Career Researchers Committee.
Thank you for the practical tips and strategies for our first proposal!

What will happen when we throw these two small tree trunks into the water?
Look at the bottom left picture... as you can see one log is "lighter for its size" and the other, is "heavier for its size" even though the submerged log is smaller than the other!

Preschool engineers are ready to "design & test"!
Have a look at their designs so far and the equipment they use🏠

📣
It is a great honor for us to have in our team Marilyn Fleer, Emeritus Sir John Monash Distinguished Professor.

Marilyn Fleer, is the creator and inspirer of Conceptual PlayWorlds model!
We are more than happy to work closely with her to implement CPWs in Greece!

📌PlayProofS team's visits to kindergartens... kicks off!
Here, presenting the five characteristics of a "Conceptual PlayWorld" which we're going to use as a model during our professional development program in kindergartens.

Yesterday, we had the pleasure of attending the 3rd PD (Professional Development) programme.
How can #play be used as a tool for learning and teaching science?
Dr. Glykeria Fragkiadaki shared her knowledge and thoughts about how to balance #Play and the #learning.
