The project we developed for Berlin was put into a PowerPoint-presentation and presented by one of our students in the school Escola Estaduao in Sao Joao del Rei, Brazil. Pedro, a member of our team presented the learning computer and interested students wanted to know more about this project. The next week, those students came together as a team to have a lesson about basic IT-knowledge such as hardware and software; additionally we did a little teaching unit about 3D-printing. After understanding how to be capable of starting such a project, Pedro and his father gave the students the opportunity to start their own project. The following idea was to build a solar panel composed of PET-bottles, which are painted black and are being heated by the sun, making it possible to heat up water. The idea was derived from the following YouTube video: https://youtu.be/9T4RugWsNGI The set up can, if you build it correctly, heat the water the bottles contain up to 60 degrees Celsius or around 140 degrees Fahrenheit, which is very useful in an area where there are no heating systems working with electricity. This is the first time we have shown activity outside Europe and we hope that the development in Brazil will continue and improve the situation of the country.

We are going to hold our first meeting of the school year on Wednesday.
Great adventures lie ahead of us!
We built a useless box for presentation purposes. It was on display at our school festival.
As the title tells you…. we moved our repositories to GitLab. The GitHub repositories are archived.
Monday is for many people a boring day. Not for us!
We were visited by Mrs Staffler. She is a member of the German parliament. Mrs Staffler is part of the education, research and technology impact assessment committee and the European committee of the German parliament. There was a lot of anticipation about this meeting. The reason for the visit was our project winning “Lerncomputer”. We explained it to her and she was very fascinated.
Mrs Staffler also asked about our other projects and our connection to universities and if they offer workshops for groups like us. Another topic was how many schools have such teams like us and she was surprised that there is not a huge quantity of them. We were telling her of our small budget and our large degree of initiative to be able to accomplish our goals; furthermore we talked about how we manage school, private life and planning, building, programming and designing our projects.
To sum it all up:
We feel honored that a member of parliament shows interest in our effort, hard work and teamwork. Thank you a lot for your visit, Mrs Staffler!
