They also took part in a series of musical interactive activities:
• Playing with the frequencies using their fingers.
• Building and playing air guitar.
• Analyzing the sound of a string.
• How can the computer understand what I play on the guitar?
Within this plethora of people, ideas and objects, "Athena" RC had the opportunity to show its own pluralistic face, presenting STEAM (Science Technology Engineering Arts and Mathematics), the educational approach that it has developed through the project EpiSTEAMουσική. The experience has been inspiring for all participants and strengthened the belief that intersubjectivity makes education more enjoyable, creative and efficient.The organization was carried out by ENIGMA (Union of Ideas, Puzzles and Mathematics), where the most important element of its action is the Megisti Puzzle Museum, in collaboration with the Region of the South Aegean and the Municipality of Megisti.
In October 21-23, the Puzzle Festival will travel to Patras and then to Athens in December 16-18.
