The Telecommunications Museum “a world of stories” continues this year, for the 14th year, with educational programs and activities for schools and families!
The activities start in September and run until May, offering a unique educational and entertaining experience for everyone!
Participation in all Museum activities is free of charge!
Museum in our suitcase
We connect with schools in the most far-flung regions of the country, provide Virtual Tours of our collection and discover its most striking exhibits together. We will open the suitcases we’ve sent to each school and use the recyclable materials inside to construct a cable-layer ship or a red payphone that people once used to place calls at neighborhood kiosks. Technology allows us to remotely cooperate on a project from locations throughout Greece and upload it to the Museum’s website.
There once was a little ship
We start our tour of the Museum through AR, QR codes and video projections to get to know the cable ship of OTE “Thales the Milesian“.
We watch and listen to the story of the OTE ship and make our own paper boat with colourful markers, stickers, glitter and lots of imagination!
We’ve got our wires crossed
We will learn about various sayings associated with communication. We will split up into teams and try to understand them through games like broken telephone and pantomime, but also digitally by connecting images on a tablet.
Become the Messenger of the Goddess
We travel back in time, to antiquity, where we will meet Hermes, messenger of the gods, as well as the female deities of abundance, love and the earth.
How do you write a telegram on its original paper?
We write the message, using a tablet to plot the route the messenger will take to deliver it to the deity he has chosen.
Chop-Chop
We will become acquainted with the most important exhibits from the Museum collection through a fun group knowledge game. We will first go on a brief tour of the collection, and then we will each wear a pair of headphones and attempt to describe to the next player an exhibit without using the keywords. In the next round, we will describe the exhibits in pantomime and, to round things off, we’ll sketch the words we’re looking for on a tablet. The team that collects the most points wins!
You have a call from Ecuador
The show draws inspiration from the book “For more laughter, please hold”, by Zoi Vlachouta, who served as an OTE telephone operator back in the 70s.
Α.Ι. Squad
We will learn how A.I. is used in telecommunications.
With Morse code as our jumping-off point, we will program and build a helicopter equipped with an A.I. camera capable of identifying SOS messages in various forms – Morse code, letters, clay patterns – and transmitting them to a rescue station.
Message from Mars
We will learn how satellite communications use laser beams to transfer huge quantities of data. Using educational robotics materials, we will create a model satellite capable of sending and receiving laser signals. We will program a micro:bit processor and work together to communicate with each other, transmitting a message from Mars to Earth.
