We are students and teachers fro Gymnázium Vysoké Mýto (the Czech Rep.) and we are currently working on an Erasmus+ project called Pluging into Nature with New Technologies.

About the project:
The project “Plugging into nature with new technologies" aims to promote the use of technology to increase kids' interest in and engagement with the natural world. We strongly believe that connecting children to nature and the outdoors through technology will provide much more skilled students in different ways:

• Using technologies will get kids outside for observation, learning about local habitat
• This is an authentic way to engage in STEM learning
• The participation in citizen science will be motivational because the data represent a real contribution and it will build stewardship and personal responsibility

• Jumping off point for investigations and projects that mirror professional science
  Participatory Science offers each of us a path to find special ways in which we can each help protect our part of the world. It's an elegant, efficient and engaging solution to the huge environmental problems we face in the 21st century.
