Job Shadowing – Krakow
As part of the Erasmus+ project EUreka: Electronics and Mechatronics across Europe, Professor Martin Coretti spent 7 days at Zespół Szkół Elektrycznych nr 1 in Krakow, Poland. He participated in English lessons, where he introduced himself, the Jožef Stefan high school and our courses of programme, as well as the basics of the Slovenian and Italian languages, and for the final year students, life and study opportunities in Slovenia and Italy. He taught classes on web technologies (building web pages with the VS Code integrated development environment), computer networks (establishing a working communication line between two points via routers and switches) and a workshop where students used an Arduino microcontroller to read temperature and brightness. During his stay, the school also hosted a special ceremony to mark the end of an Erasmus project for Polish students, which allowed them to carry out a 4-week work placement in Granada, Spain, at which he was a special guest. At the end of the visit, he was interviewed by the Polish students about their impressions of their school and the cultural differences and similarities between Krakow and Trieste, and his answers will be published in the school newsletter “Opornik”.
Job Shadowing – Madrid Aranjuez IES Alpajes
In the context of the Erasmus+ project, two teachers from our institution, Danijel Simonettig and Marko Emili, participated in a week-long job shadowing experience at IES Alpajes in Aranjuez, near Madrid. During their time there, they actively engaged in English lessons, where they collaborated with Spanish students to create presentations about Italian tourist cities and facilitated discussions comparing the educational systems of Italy, Spain, and the United States. Moreover, the teachers conducted technology classes focused on programming with Siemens LOGO PLCs and Arduino, integrating Blender for virtual reality applications. They also assisted in physics labs dealing with spectroscopy and biology labs that involved milk analysis. On October 18, as part of the ErasmusDays 2024 initiative, our students will have a virtual meeting with their Spanish counterparts. During this event, the Spanish students will present the programming projects they developed during the job shadowing experience. This collaboration not only enriches the educational experience but also fosters international connections among students and educators.
