Research Paths

TELL ME A STORY
Can we fight social exclusion and unemployment with technology?

NAR-SPI is an Erasmus + project involving Research Paths and 7 other partners across Europe, where we facilitate access to the job market for young people in vulnerable positions or with no job stability. How do we do this? By making available for them online educational material, by training them to use their own critical thinking, cognitive strategies, analysis and synthesis skills. All of this is done by focusing our teaching modules on storytelling: tutors and students themselves take an active role in teaching.

THE OLDEST COMPUTER OF THE WORLD, UNDERWATER
Professor Xenophon Moussas, member of our team, and in charge of the STEMFORYOUTH Astronomy course studied for years the oldest known computer, the Antikythera Mechanism, found underwater near the omonymous island. The mechanism is as old as the 2nd century BC, and is known for tracking the cycles of the Solar System.
