ReSTELA – Pilot in Cyprus

Pyrgos Education hosted an engaging and hands-on pilot session for students in Larnaca, Cyprus, as part of the ReSTELA Project. During the session, students were introduced to the BBC Micro:bit, where they learned about its components, applications, and programming interface. They then applied their new knowledge and programming skills by completing a small project and through the ReSTELA platform, remotely programmed a BBC Micro:bit that was located in Nicosia. This experience not only enhanced their understanding of robotics and coding but also fostered their enthusiasm for STEAM education!#RESTELA #bbcmicrobit #programming #STEAM #remoteprogramming
