The main beneficiaries of this project have been VET students with obstacles, together with VET teachers, VET educational centers and technology companies.

This project have included a set of transnational meetings, both virtual and face-to-face, as well as certain activities for the development of the outpus, among others.

This project have included the development of 3 high-quality main results along with other results, such as a guide to success stories or a guide for certification.

Visibility and dissemination of the project and its results, as well as the E+ Programme, have been important to achieve a positive impact and the implementation of the results.

Evaluation is a very important factor to guarantee the quality and impact of the project and its results.

During this project, we carried out pilot test to test the main results.

This guide defines the BEING A PART OF IT METHODOLOGY and provides all the necessary guidelines to implement it in the VET classroom, through a global adaptation of classroom planning, the implementation of virtual network work routines with the company and the use of tools that equate the classroom with the company, allowing students as a whole to develop critical parts within cutting-edge innovation projects.

My experience of participating as an instructor-coordinator of the pilot test was extremely interesting and pleasant for me. At first, I saw it as a challenge, as a problem that we had to solve with the students, to work as if we were professionals in an IT company and using specialized project management software, to finally make a website that communicates with the 3D printer. The use and familiarization with the project management software was a very important experience for the students as such environments are used in large companies and will be an additional qualification for them when they find themselves in the professional field. The most gratifying thing is that the students responded with great interest and understood its importance, a fact that is also reflected in the texts they wrote at the end expressing their opinion about the project. Thanks for the nice collaboration

The construction of the page and the connecting with a 3d printer was a challenge for me and the students. The students showed great interest from the beginning. The project developed smoothly because the goals we set were few, appropriate and easy. The students participated enthusiastically and worked individually and as a team to complete the project with very little help from us. They engaged in the activities without difficulty and at the end of the hour we commented on what they could improve. The point they found difficult but more interesting was the connection the button to the 3d printer. In conclusion, both I and the students were pleased and satisfied with the achievement of the goals and we are waiting for the next project.

This project was ok for me because it was just different from all the different projects I’ve done in the past that involve computer studies and I have to say it’s a better because how it keeps getting a bit fun because how it’s starting to be … and more structured. Also I would love to visit you one time and it would be real nice if you gave us more projects because they are more enjoyable than the one we are doing at school.

My experience was exciting. I like to say that this project make my knowledge better

Student – 1st EPAL Kato Achaias

The project began with enthusiasm and the idea of overcoming obstacles, as it has been. The idea of organizing the different points of a project by means of a computer program undoubtedly catches the attention of the student and motivates them in its development. If we add to this the fact that they have always kept in mind that the results were received by a Portuguese company, it adds an even greater incentive.
