We developed our competences and knowledge in the fields of electronics, robotics, and programming during two projects financed by European Commission: Leonardo da Vinci multilateral partnership RECAP (Remote Controlled Arm Project), 2010 – 2012; Comenius multilateral partnership KAREL (Karel – Autonomous Robot for Enhancing Learning), 2013 – 2015. KAREL project was selected as one of the European Commission’s success stories.The students coordinated by Mihai Agape were awarded in 2017 the Romanian National eTwinning Prize (Students’ Involvement category) for the project POwER 3D.
We organized SCRIPT (SCRatch International Programming Trial) from 2011 to 2018.We organize the International Robotics Trophy Robotor (since 2008).
