Talent Day in Pécs
“On Saturday, April 13th, members of Pécs Group 3 arrived excitedly at the Community House. At the Life Path Festival, this school year’s innovation project, the Maker’s Red Box Global Warning Climate Expedition Around the World, was presented by promising talents. The goal of the year-long innovation project is to develop cross-disciplinary knowledge through creative pedagogy. It encompasses several fields of science, thus also enabling the application of project-based pedagogy. This often involves creating an object, tool, or device. The method also responds to the fact that every child participates in this process with different abilities, as development takes place considering the children’s individual talents and interests. Parents and members of other groups in the Community House attentively listened to the presentations, and the children deservedly received a lot of praise.” – Andrea Bálint-Orsós, mentor, Pécs Group 3

This is how we saw it…
“I liked Palau and the coral nurseries the best, if I had to choose. Every location was interesting. The tasks related to them seemed exciting. I think the children gained useful knowledge. I consider environmental protection important, and I am glad that through the tasks, it is becoming increasingly important to the children as well.” – Evelin Győri, parent, Pécs Group 3
“Thank you for the presentation! I liked the 3D design-printing and the microbits demonstration the most. The history of Chennai was also interesting. The children are very skillful and well-prepared.” – Gyula Szabó, parent, Pécs Group 3
“At the project presentation on global warming, I heard a lot of new, useful information from the children and the project leader. For me, the project’s theme, topic, and presentation exceeded all expectations!” – Gabriella Tóth, parent, Pécs Group 3
“Today’s presentation showed the skill-level representation of complex topics in a light, airy, good-humored community with expert support. I liked the 3D design printing and our team’s cohesiveness and collected presence the most. Thank you for everything, for you.” – Renáta Körmendi, parent, Pécs Group 3
“Thank you for the presentation related to the LEAF project. It’s good to see how the children have gained broad-spectrum knowledge. Important topics such as environmental protection, transportation, and sustainability are addressed.” – László Kalász, parent, Pécs Group 3
“The presentation brought the project closer and made it more understandable, something I had only heard about before. Within the topic of climate change, the children dealt with numerous other areas, and I liked these complex problem-solving and skill-developing challenges. The tasks at the four locations were also interesting to me. Among the 3D prints, I liked the corals the best.” – Hajnalka Mérei, parent, Pécs Group 3
“Today we had the opportunity to get a glimpse into the several-week-long project work of Group P3. They presented what they had been working on, where they had traveled virtually. During their tasks, they learned to design and print with a 3D printer, how microbits work, and created complex measuring devices with their help. They learned to think together and work as a team. The project was built around the theme of environmental protection, specifically helping to reduce global warming with their ideas. I think the practical knowledge they gained will be very useful for them in the future.” – Bernadett Fülöp, parent, Pécs Group 3
“I liked that they take it seriously, are eager to learn new things, and that they seem to enjoy themselves, finally being able to show their abilities and knowledge. Thank you!” – Tivadar Szőke, parent, Pécs Group 3
