We thank the Professor Ms. Leoni Dalla, the Director of the library Ms. Galazoudi and all the hospitable staff for the exceptional experience. Of course, we should also mention the enthusiasm and the interest with which our students participated in the activities that were organized. The teachers that accompanied our students were the mathematicians Mr. S. Chasapis and Mr. M. Bisbianos. The students dealt with the Platonic and Archimedean solids, they observed the quality of duality in the Platοnic solids, calculated sides, corners and vertices and made assumptions about the Euler characteristic, as a relation of corners, vertices and sides of the convex solids, created  formulations (nets) of solids on the plane, played with different formulations choosing the correct ones, learned about the Platonic solids in nature, the tetrahedron of methane, calculated the angle H-C-H, the dioxide of silicon and the quartz crystals, their natural qualities and their implementation in clock-making, and also the semiprecious stones like amethyst and their cutting. In the end, they were shown the modern applications of mathematics and their new achievements.

On Wednesday 15 February 2023 A’ and B’ Class students of the Club ‘Connecting Education with Workplaces’ and of the C’ Class Health Studies’ Direction visited the Biology Department of the School of Sciences in the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens.

The educational visit focused on the students’ information about the Studies in Biology and the scientific evolutions that take place through research projects in the last years.

After the presentation followed the students’ participation in lab experiments with the use of the electronic microscope, PCR, proteins’ info models, transgenetic plants and preparations of plant organisms in the microscope, DNA isolation and electrophoresis, NGS, preparations of animal organisms, flow cytometry unit, and dissection on a mouse for the study of its internal organs that resemble to those of a human.

 

Our school students, within the framework of their participation in the 7^th student competition entitled “The museum exhibits through the students’ eyes”, visited the NKUA Museum of Pharmacology and were guided around the museum by the ex-Associate Professor of the Medicine School Mr. I. Papadopoulos.

The Museum was founded in 1998 by University Professors of the Pharmacology Laboratory of the Medicine School and is located in this laboratory. The philosophy of the Museum is based on the social approach of the exhibits and their evolution over time and also on the holistic study of all the factors that are involved in Pharmacology (pharmaceutical industry, scientific asset, teaching, students, University as an institution).

The subject of the competition in which the students participate is “The preparation of a medicine in the times of a pandemic: a fight against time”. The teachers in charge are the IT teacher of our school Ms. P. Matthe and the chemistry teachers Ms. C. Angelidou and Mr. C. Makedonas.

We thank the Associate Professor Mr. Papadopoulos and the Director of the Museum, Associate Professor Mr. C. Liapis, for their warm hospitality.

On Wednesday 15 February the students of the Journalism and Cinema Clubs had the chance to visit the offices of “Kathimerini” newspaper.

The students had a tour guide in the offices and participated in an interesting discussion with the journalist Mr. Giorgos Lialios. Mr. Lialios explained to the students how a newspaper works while he answered to questions regarding, among others, the code of conduct a journalist must follow, the methodology that must be followed for complete and objective research as well as the perspectives of printed journalism in the competitive environment caused by the influence of the internet and social networking in the last years. The students left satisfied, having gained important knowledge regarding the value of Press as a fundamental means of information and a milestone of democracy.

We deeply thank Mr. Lialios and all the staff of the newspaper that made this visit possible.

 

   

 

On Monday, January 30, 2023, a group of students visited the ROIKOS Company.

It was a unique opportunity to talk with different professional specialties (Environmentalists, Electrical and Computer Engineers, Chemical Engineers, Civil Engineers – Urban Planners, Surveyors), but also to get to know and be informed about the real working conditions of a workplace, the skills and knowledge required for their future professional career prospects.

We are very grateful to Mrs. Alexandra Papadima-Kalergi (Chemical Engineer NTUA, MSc Water Resources Science and Technology, Director of the Department of Environment and Spatial Planning of the company ROIKOS Consultant Engineers S.A., International Development Manager) and Mrs. Josephine Teresa Vitali (Project Manager in the Department of International Development of the ROIKOS company, Civil engineer, with a master’s degree in Hydraulics and Environmental Engineering), but also to all their partners for hosting the students and for the time they spent to transfer knowledge and real experiences.
