Computational Thinking – sounds like difficult technology? Nothing could be further from the truth! It's just a name for what you do every day: Are you planning your shopping? (Decomposition) Are you packing your suitcase so that everything fits? (Abstraction) Do you have your own tried and tested cake recipe? (Algorithms) In our project, we show that you don't have to be a computer scientist to think logically and solve problems effectively. Discover your digital superpower! www.computationalseniors.eu #ComputationalThinking#LogicInEverydayLife#Development#AdultEducation

Productive Saturday for EAIEN Project! Had a great Online Coordination Meeting (OCM) with our partners today. We reviewed the final touches on our OER platform, planned the upcoming student mobilities and discussed the outline of our Experience Sharing Book. Great teamwork as always! #ErasmusPlus#GreenSkills#ProjectMeeting#EAIEN#OER

Do you think programming is difficult? Ask a carpenter! The story: Mr. Marco, from a small town near Florence, has been restoring old furniture for 40 years. When he receives a damaged Baroque armchair in his workshop, he doesn't panic. His brain immediately switches to a mode that universities call Computational Thinking. Decomposition: Marco doesn't repair the “armchair.” He repairs the leg, replaces the springs, cleans the upholstery, and replenishes the polish. He sees the project as a collection of small tasks. Pattern Recognition: He looks at the wood grain and knows: “This is oak, it will react to this varnish the same way as the dresser from a month ago.” Experience is his database. Abstraction: When he designs the upholstery pattern, he doesn't worry about the fact that one…

The Story: Grandpa Jacques is planning a trip from Lyon to Vienna. He’s not a fan of complicated apps, but his mind works like a Swiss watch. How does he do it? Decomposition(Division): Jacques doesn’t look at the route as a whole. He breaks it down into stages: getting to the station, changing trains in Munich, and checking into the hotel.Abstraction (the heart of the matter): When he looks at the train map, he ignores the colors of forests or rivers. He focuses on only one thing: the transfer time. The rest is noise.Pattern Recognition: Jacques knows that trains on this route are often 5 minutes late, so he always plans to have a coffee at the station between connections. He uses his experience to predict the future.Algorithm (Instructions): He…

The Creative Technologies Learning Lab research team organised on January 27, 2026 a multiplier event for Erasmus+ project LET’s MIMIC which introduces biomimicry in learning. Biomimicry is an innovative design processs where solutions are inspired by the wisdom of natural models and processes. Project LET’s MIMIC has develop a digital learning platform for biomimicry and rich educational resources. During the event, approximately 30 students used the LET’s MIMIC digital learning platform to design solutions for improving quality of life in their hometown of Volos, particicularly related to climate change consequences, including natural disasters, such as the recently experienced floods and wildfires. Students designed solutions for water management, air pollution, adding greenery in the city, and reducing the use of cars. See more

Are you looking for an interesting intellectual activity for yourself or your loved ones? Computational Thinking is a great way to familiarize yourself with technology and improve your thought processes. You can find out more about the project and free tools here: https://computationalseniors.eu Let's be digitally brave!  #computationalseniors#adulteducation#ErasmusPlus#ActiveSenior#Education#DigitalWorld#LogicalThinking

What exactly is “Computational Thinking”? It's not just programming, it's a way of thinking that makes life easier in the digital world. Thanks to a project designed especially for seniors, anyone can learn how to: plan activities effectively, recognize important information from noise, deal with new applications and devices. Everything is presented in an accessible and user-friendly form. We encourage you to visit the project website:  https://computationalseniors.eu Share this post with your friends or loved ones who are seniors!  #ActiveSenior#Education#DigitalWorld#LogicalThinking#computationalseniors#adulteducation#ErasmusPlus 

Do you know that computational thinking is a skill of the future... available to everyone? Learning knows no age! The Computational Thinking for Seniors project proves that logical problem solving, breaking tasks down into their constituent parts, and recognizing patterns are great mental exercises for people of all ages. Why is it worth it? It improves memory and concentration. It helps you better understand modern technologies. It gives you tools to solve everyday problems more easily.

A mutliplier event was organised on January 14, 2026 for project LET's MIMIC (http://letsmimic.eu) with the participation of the Musical High School of Volos. LET's MIMIC was used with students who visited the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering on January 14, 2025, to participate in a workshop introducing nature-inspired solutions to improve quality of life. 30 students and their teachers designed Biomimicry solutions inspired by natural processes and models for addressing climate change challenges in their town of Volos. Students used the LET's MIMIC digital learning platform to collaborate in groups and present their innovative ideas to the class. A discussion followed in which students commented and helped improve each other's ideas. See more.
