As part of the preparations for the upcoming project hosting, the students completed two workshops aimed at acquiring the necessary knowledge for future collaborative work with partners from another country.

The first workshop, held on April 10th, was dedicated to learning 3D modeling skills. Using the Tinkercad program, students followed a video tutorial and mastered the basics of spatial planning in a digital environment, which served as technical preparation for more complex tasks.

​

Following the mastery of the program's basics, a second workshop took place on April 29th, where the task was to independently design and create an energy-efficient and sustainable house. Students had to think carefully about the smart use of natural resources and orientation in space. Using a wind rose to mark the cardinal directions, they planned the positioning of the houses, ensuring that the south-facing windows were large to maximize natural sunlight and heat.

When planning green technologies, students had to think critically and added only certain sustainability elements to their houses that they considered the best solution. Thus, they chose between solar panels, wind turbines, heat pumps, or rainwater collection tanks.

Through these activities, the students gained valuable knowledge and are ready for the workshop during the hosting, where they will work in teams with guests from the partner country to create such sustainable houses together.
