Digitale Grundschule Schauenstein - Digitale Kompetenzentwicklung von Grundschüler*innen anhand eines realen smarten Regenwassermanagements (DiGrus)

Basic data for this project

Description

In the DiGrus project, the green roof of the primary school in Schauenstein itself and its effects on the rain/water management of the primary school are to be digitally monitored for the first time and made accessible and tangible for the primary school students. Different teaching concepts relating to climate change and weather phenomena as well as sustainability are to be derived both theoretically and practically and presented in a way that is suitable for primary schools. Using a digital twin, the rain/water management of the new green roof is to replicate the primary school's sponge concept. For example, gamification elements can be used to playfully test and discover the effects of various alternative courses of action in dealing with climate-related weather extremes, individually and in groups. At the same time, what has been learned virtually can be observed in reality, experienced sensorially and reflected on under the guidance of the teaching staff. The flexibility of the system also allows the development and testing of new teaching/learning methods, such as supporting self-regulatory skills for the development of early academic skills that are important for sustainable behavior using facts instead of emotion-based information.
