Technology Around Us<\/h1>\n

What is technology? How much we actually use it \"\"everyday?\u00a0In the morning\u00a0we wake up on when the alarm clock rings, cook food on a stove and take food from a fridge. And when we are leaving home we check that we didn’t forget the phone. Almost all the information can be found from internet. We need a car or other vehicle for travelling. These are only few examples of the technology we use.<\/p>\n

Technology doesn’t only make communication and travelling easier but also increases the efficiency of agriculture and the quality of life because the medical advances are based on technology.<\/p>\n

Here you can find materials and ideas related to the StarT theme Technology Around Us.\u00a0<\/em>\u00a0The materials are categorised according to the year group.<\/p>\n

Briefly: <\/strong>Because it would be too difficult to invent an electric car, the children decided to do experimental work with parabolic mirrors and Fresnel lenses. Children created solar-powered charging stations for electric cars.<\/p>\n
