The first international meeting of the Erasmus + project called „Girls with boys programming in Europe.“
The main coordinator is Mendelova Secondary School, mainly the Economical Part in Šenov u Nového Jičína. The partners of the project are
- Agrupamento de Escolas Dr. Serafim Leite from S. João da Madeira in Portugal
- Fjolbrautaskoli Nordurlands vestra from Iceland
- Istituto d’Istruzione Superiore “G. Peano – C. Rosa” from Nereta in Italy

The first meeting took place from 21st to 24th October in Nový Jičín. Two girls, two boys and two teachers arrived on Sunday from Iceland and Portugal. Three girls, one boy and two teachers from Spain and two boys, two girls and one teacher from Italy. After welcoming the guests on Monday morning, there was a brief introduction of schools and regions of the partners. There was a workshop for students in a computer lab from 10am to 2.pm.
The main topics were algorithm and programming in Visual Basic. Meanwhile the teachers were discussing the ICT equipment, financing of ICT, seminars for teachers and they also chose a logo of the projects whose draft designs were prepared by students. The students visited a town hall in Nový Jičín where the vice-mayor Mgr. Ondřej Syrovátka welcomed them and he talked about history and places of interest of the town. We climbed to the top of the town hall´s tower after a brief discussion. Visiting the information centre and the hat museum was very interesting as everyone could try on various hats made by company TONAK.

The next day there was a trip to company TIETO with a workshop. The lecturer Tomáš Fröpl explained the basic of p5js editor and the students were creating a game PINPONG. Everyone enjoyed this presentation.
There was a visit to the 3D print Photolab at Technical University in Ostrava. We learnt about 3D print of products from plastic and metal and the highlight of day was testing of a scooter prototype. We also enjoyed a wonderful view of the new town hall in Ostrava.
There was the workshop on Wednesday. The topic was 3D modelling in Thinkercad and 3D print off the printing machine Průša. The students made a key tag and the logo of the project was made in 3D print. Meanwhile the teachers were discussing and organising the next meeting which will be in Iceland, and were planning tasks that need to be done. Both these activities were recorded by TV POLAR, including interviews with participants of the project. Certificates were given to all participants at the municipal office in Šenov u Nového Jičína by the vice-mayor JUDr. Karel Třetina.
We went to Pustevny where we enjoyed the popular Sky Walk and also a beautiful weather, later we had an excursion to Štamberk´s ears manufacture. Thursday was a great opportunity for exploring the natural beauty of Moravian Karst and Macocha Abbys. On the way back we admired the historical centre of Olomouc. In the evening the students went to play bowling and the teachers evaluated the whole 4-day meeting. I believe that the aim, which was making the programming and 3D print more interesting, has been fulfilled. The students were improving their English knowledge, also thanks to the fact that the foreign students were staying in their families. Everybody is excited about the March meeting in Iceland.
