We are pleased to announce CityLab's partnership with Cisco International Center for Digital Transformation and Digital Skills as a Digital Skills Partner (STEM and Robotics Laboratories).

The International Center for Digital Transformation and Digital Skills was established in June 2020 by Cisco in collaboration with the Municipality of Thessaloniki, the Ministry of Digital Governance and the Ministry of Development and Investment, under the auspices of the Prime Minister's Office in Thessaloniki.

Its purpose is to enhance innovation, accelerate digital transformation, enhance digital skills and promote digital culture.

In our laboratories with collaborative activities we design, build and program robots and other electromechanical constructions, in order to solve real problems from the real world. Having a vehicle and a goal our works and constructions, we discover in depth Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) while at the same time we develop our creative intelligence as we transform from users to creators.

Finally, along the way, we acquire all the skills that will help us to respond properly to the evolving needs of tomorrow.

We are waiting for you!!!

A CityLab COUNTS THE STARS!

An amazing night for our students and their parents: Astronomical observation from the telescope of the University Observatory of Athens. Dr. Kosmas Gazeas, lecturer in Observational Astrophysics at the University of Athens and his excellent team, guided us (Saturday, March 7, 2020) in the night sky.

Then, in an extremely interesting interactive talk, we explored
- the contribution of telescopes to the greatest discoveries in modern astrophysics, such as the expansion of the universe, the structure of galaxies and the discoveries of extrasolar systems
- how the state-of-the-art robotic and automated telescopes in the world are used to look at the sky through different areas of the electromagnetic spectrum and create a complete picture of the universe.
- What does the construction of a modern telescope involve, how are the world's largest optical telescopes designed and what is the difference between them and space telescopes?
- what awaits us in the future in the field of modern Observational Astrophysics and Optical Organology!

We were all excited and one step closer to mastering exactly how Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics are used to interpret the world around us ...

Dear Teacher. Educational Robotics is the present. You teach it!
Come to CityLab, an organization that since 2014 deals fully and exclusively with STEM, to show you how.

EDUCATIONAL NEED AND ISSUES TO BE SOLVED 
We know the need of the Educational community in the modern era to be informed and trained properly and validly for the teaching of Robotics.

We invite you to register for the Mathematical Escape 2019 at the 2nd Summer School of Mathematics of Crete  in the Department of Mathematics and Applied Mathematics PK .  
The  City Lab  undertakes with joy and honor, the responsibility to lead students on a creative and exciting journey in each of the fields of STEM with Robotics as a vehicle! 

The  2nd Summer School Mathematics Crete  organized by  seminary Theoretical Mathematics  of  Department of Mathematics and Applied Mathematics  will take place from  the 2 to 5 July 2019  at the premises of the University of Crete  in Heraklion.

/ * update with a few photos and comments from children from the event * /
- "Great experience"  
- "... and why should we leave now?"
- "what we had in mind we made the robot do"
- "I want to make it do other things and I understood how"
- "we will miss you" / * mutual !!! * /

INTRODUCTION TO THE CONCEPTS OF ROBOTICS 

ROBOTICS LABORATORY - MOVEMENT AND MEASUREMENTS IN SPACE

TALK IN THE AMPHITHEATRE OF THE CS DEPARTMENT 

WHEN THE "NEW ENGINEERS" DO SCIENTIFIC PRACTICE !!!

On 19/05/2019 we organized the first Robotics Festival at CityLab with two separate sections.
In the Competition Department the teams learned for the first time and on the spot what they will build, while in the Exhibition Department they learned the general theme and freely constructed their works. The topics were all original and the characteristics were given as in any real electromechanical project with a clear theme, project, study, platform, control, description, specifications, instructions, technical remarks, scoring criteria, etc. After all, children could not expect anything more than the "Real World Robotics" we tell them when our workshops start.

See snapshots from the event here (https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=2267308983533904) as well as in the photos that follow.
Thank you all for participating.
