THREE COMPONENTS

A virtual environment

Prototypes

A sailboat

1. Pedagogical Sailboat’s competence framework : A catalogue listing the competencies and skills that the Pedagogical Sailboat targets and linking them to the official secondary education curricula.
2. Pedagogical modules​ related to the the competences that can be acquired onboard a sailboat

Elements of the sailboat used in practical work session.  
​Students will build and  possibly improve an instrument for microplastics  sampling.

A real sailboat that turns into a classroom for practical work.  The students will use the schooner "Tirant Primer" of the Generalitat Valenciana

​
THREE FUNCTIONS​

The scientific pedagogy

The technical pedagogy

The social pedagogy

Applicable to the sailboat environment (the sea and its biota): The aim is to develop a strong scientific background to launch citizen science projects with students. The focus now is on the pollution of the seas by microplastics.

Applicable to the sailboat and its various elements: the pulleys, the electrical assembly, the sensors such as the barometer and also the scientific instruments embedded: hydrophones, hydrometer etc.
In our first project students have built a microplastic sampling instrument: the manta net.

Applicable to the 'occupants' of the sailboat: develops transversal skills such as team spirit, leadership, communication, etc. Students in the social education sector  develop a mobility project with students with specific needs in the frame of citizen science campaign that targets the sampling of microplastics at sea on board a sailboat
