Junior inventors has been a very successful project.
In Romania, it was entered in some national competitions during the two years we have worked on it.
In March 2007, it got the 4th prize in the national competition "Made for Europe" at regional level.
In march 2008, it got the 1st prize in the national competition "Made for Europe" at regional level and the 4th prize at national level.
It was also one of the projects that brought the title of European school for Scoala "Vasile Alecsandri" from Baia Mare, Romania.
So we are very proud of our achievements.

Last project meeting in Baia Mare, Romania
Finally, the week 14-18 April 2008 came and we met our project partners again. It was a very nice week. We had a busy schedule and we worked a lot, but we had some fun together, too.
The teachers met to do the project and partnership evaluation. We agreed that all our project objectives have been achieved. The end products we had planned have been done. Only the DVD with the project documentary has to be finished by the end of August so that we can send the final report to our National Agencies. The project has been disseminated by several means: on the special project dissemination board, in mass media, on the internet - through the website (www.junior-inventors.com), this blog, through many email messages on various e-groups.
We believe this project has been very efficient. We all made friends with teachers or pupils from the partner schools, we learnt interesting aspects from their cultures, we worked as a team, we exchanged teaching/learning tips, etc.
The children had a great time as they were involved in many interesting activities during the visit: inter cultural dance and song shows, a theater play, sports competitions (athletics, a football match between pupils and teachers, table tennis, chess, etc.) sightseeing tour in Baia Mare and Maramures. We visited the Merry Cemetery at Sapanta, the The Pain Memorial Museum in Sighetu Marmatiei, the wonderful Monastery at Barsana, the Wood church from Surdesti, etc. They even participated in the masque ball we organized at the end of the meeting. You can see some photos in the photo album of the visit.
This week has been a celebration for the Romanian school not only for hosting the last project meeting, but also for celebrating the official change of our school's name into "Scoala cu cls. I-VIII "Vasile Alecsandri" Baia Mare. It was a moment of great joy for us and we shared our joy with our project partners. At the opening of the first day, we had important guests, such as the Mayor of Baia Mare, Mr. Cristian Anghel, who is always present at our special activities and gives us his support. There were also present our project partners from Turkey and Poland, Mr. Dragomir Ignat, the representative of the School Inspectorate, Mr. Vasile Barbul, who is a former pupil of our school, Florentina Ambrosie, the representative of our partner school from Bacau, Romania, parents, teachers, pupils, representatives of the mass media.
We also opened the International art exhibition for children called "The Resurrection Light", meant to celebrate Easter. The week passed with many interesting activities involving pupils, teachers, parents, and, of course our project partners.
As this was the last meeting, we were sorry to part, but promised to keep in touch and, why not?, maybe collaborate in other future projects.
But for now, we still have to finish the documentary and the final report to the National Agencies.
In sfarsit a sosit si saptamana 14-18 aprilie 2008, si ne-am intalnit partenerii de proiect din nou. A fost o saptamana deosebit de frumoasa . Am avut un program incarcat, am muncit mult, dar am avut si ocazia sa ne distram impreuna.
Profesorii au lucrat pe realizarea evaluarii proiectului si a parteneriatului. toti am fost de acord ca am reusit sa atingem obiectivele propuse si sa realizam produsele finale stabilite. singurul lucru ce ne-a mai ramas de facut e documentarul proiectului si raportul final catre Agentiile nationale. Am realizat diseminarea proiectului prin diferite mijloace: panoul proiectului, massmedia, pe internet prin website-ul proiectului (www.junior-inventors.com), prin acest blog, si prin emailuri si articole publicate pe diverse e-grupuri.
Consideram ca acest proiect a fost foarte eficient: profesorii si elevii au legat prietenii cu colegii lor de la scolile partenere, am aflat aspecte interesante despre cultura lor, am lucrat ca o echipa, am facut schimburi de experienta in ceea ce priveste metodele de predare/invatare, etc.
Copiii s-au simtit bine impreuna avand invedere faptul ca au fost implicati in multa activitati interesante in timpul reuniunii: spectacole interculturale de dansuri si cantece, piese de teatru, competitii sportive (de atletism, un meci de fotbal intre elevi so profesori, tenis de masa, sah, etc.), vizitarea orasului si un tur al Maramuresului, unde au vizitat Cimitirul vesel de la Sapanta, Muzeul Memorialul durerii de la Sighetu Marmatiei, manastirea de la Barsana, biserica de lemn de la Surdesti, etc. Elevii au participat si la un bal mascat pe care l-am organizat la sfarsitul intalnirii. Putei vedea toate aceste aspecte in albumele de fotografii ale reuniunii.
Saptamana 14-18 aprilie 2008 a fost o sarbatoare pentru scoala noastra nu numai datorita gazduirii ultimei reuniuni de proiect, ci datorita faptului ca am sarbatorit schimbarea oficiala a numelui scolii in "Scoala cu cls. I-VIII "Vasile Alecsandri" Baia Mare. Pentru noi a reprezentat un moment de bucurie pe care l-am impartasit cu partenerii nostri de proiect. La deschiderea oficiala din prima zi am avut invitati de seama: dl. Cristian Anghel, Primarul municipiului, care este alaturi de noi si ne sustine in toate evenimentele importante ale scolii, partenerii nostri din Turcia si Polonia, dl. Dragomir Ignat, reprezentantul Inspactoratului scolar, dl. Vasile Barbul, in calitate de fost elev al scolii, d-na Florentina Ambrosie, reprezentanta scolii noastre partenere din Bacau, parinti, profesori, elevi, massmedia.
Un alt moment important a fost vernisajul celei de a doua editii a Expozitiei internationale de arta pentru copii "Lumina invierii" menita sa sarbatoreasca sfintele sarbatori de Paste.
Saptamana a trecut repede, cu multe ectivitati interesante in care au fost implicati elevii, profesorii, parintii si, bineinteles, si partenerii nostri de proiect.
Cum aceasta a fost ultima noastra intalnire, am fost intristati ca ne desparteam, dar am promis sa tinem legatura si, de ce nu? sa colaboram si in alte proiecte pe viitor.
Dar deocamdata mao avem de terminat documentarul proiectului si raportul final de activitate pentru Agentia nationala.
