The outcomes of the D-PATH project include among others 4 video tutorials for educators working with children, youth and adults related to diabetes in one way or another.
They go much beyond the flat project proposal as they produce completely new tutorials which integrate partners’ existing experience, diabetes experience with target groups and practical testing via D-PATH workshops.
The newly created tutorials are tools which allow educators to get involve creatively in an awareness raising and interactive learning process about diabetes while upgrading their own knowledge of Lego &robotics supported education.
The 4 tutorials go progressively from Lego elements building up the pancreas, pancreas function flow and cell plus demo Lego &robotics with tutor support and academic lecture on diabetes and diet.
