Starting the final year of the project
As the final year of the TransEET project progresses, we are shifting more of our focus on the long term impact the project will have beyond its lifetime. In addition to the researchers, educators, students and policy makers we reach directly through conferences, workshops and public events, we want the output and resources to benefit as many people as possible.
Dissemination activities
In late January two of our researchers from UNITO held a workshop in the seminar cycle on embodied education held by the Kore University of Enna in Italy. The workshop about “the role of the body in learning mathematics between active breaks and technology” let participants feel mathematics with their bodies using some of the MathDance technology designed in the project.
Shortly after, the CERME14 conference brought many of our researchers to Bolzano, Italy. We had the great honor to contribute to the conference with 6 papers and 1 poster in 4 different Thematic Working Groups (TWGs) ranging from teaching and learning with technology to curricular resources and task design to embodied and material studies.
We are very grateful for this opportunity and the many insightful exchanges.

Math and Dance
During the first implementation cycle of our Math and Dance activities and the following months of presenting the activities to researchers, educators, artists and students, we gained a lot of valuable feedback and inspiring ideas for adaptations and extensions.
Drawing on this wealth of information, we initiated the second implementation cycle by starting the (re-)design of 5 activities using 2 technology prototypes developed in the project.
In the upcoming months we will finalise the activities and data collection methods and implement the activities with students across Europe.
NeMAST
While our observations about the C.o.Fe method within the project are still ongoing, we have intensified our efforts towards using these insights towards creating the Network-knowledge Management Administration and Science Toolkit (NeMAST). Our clearly defined roadmap and the tight collaboration between all partner institutions, will enable us to publish a first version of the toolkit by August. While our own Communities of Interest will persist and evolve after the project is completed, this toolkit will help other researchers to engage in creative and constructive academic collaboration.
