We are very pleased to welcome the Landesberufsschule für Handwerk und Industrie Bozen as a new MathCityMap partner school. After the school’s teachers participated in a MathCityMap training in 2024, the school has now officially published its first two trails:
The feedback from the students has been very positive. Designed as small outdoor learning activities, the trails offer a welcome change from regular classroom lessons. The spacious area in front of the school and the nearby river provide a pleasant outdoor learning environment.
The trails were carried out with two fourth-year classes from the technical school for computer science as well as a basic vocational class. Equipped with the necessary tools, the groups were able to work independently, with occasional input from the teachers when needed. One important takeaway: a short briefing in the classroom makes the on-site activities run much more smoothly.
Thanks to the frequent double lessons, the trails with their seven tasks can easily be completed within one teaching unit – including travel time there and back.
We thank the Landesberufsschule für Handwerk und Industrie Bozen for their commitment and warmly welcome them to the MathCityMap community!
The package with the official partner school badge and the MCM measuring instruments is on its way and we are looking forward to receiving more applications from all over the world.
All further information on the partner school programme and the requirements for application can be found both in the article on the first MCM partner school and on the homepage of our MaSCE³ project.
