The Austrian Federal Constitution explicitly stipulated that the Austrian schools are required to ensure the highest possible level of education while constantly ensuring and developing the best possible quality. The mission statement of the Section for Vocational and Adult Education of the BMBWF explicitly addresses the area of internationalization. The goal of VET schools is, in general, to provide students with skills that enable them to take up (highly) -qualified occupations and continue their education at universities and technical colleges. The graduates of vocational schools, especially technical and commercial schools, are characterized by a high employability and are therefore hardly threatened by unemployment. In order to maintain this in the future and also to avoid an increasing number of early school leavers, continuous further development of state of the art teaching methods for engineering training and pedagogic have to be forced and applied. New technologies and processes have to flow into the lesson without delay.To achieve the overall goals to maintain or increase the high level of employability of our students and to reduce the number of early school leavers we have identified the following objectives for the project. We want to develop an innovative learning and teaching environment for a task based on digital technology, fostering Problem-solution oriented and networked action and finding a cooperation-based learning approach in an international environment.To achieve the project's objectives, we will confront the participating students with a task that shall be solved by constructing and programming a Robot from LEGO parts - like the well-known First Lego League. Constructing the Robot is only one part of the Project. The task given by the teachers includes also a research and market research task related to the function of the robot and the students must provide a simple business plan which lines out how they will market the products.In this project 8 teachers and 100 students of a total of four different schools will participate. The pupils are in the age group of 14 to 16, are student of technical schools and have already learned the basics of the tasks in front of them. Groups of students from the participating schools will compete against each other to solve the task given by the instructors. By using the universal LEGO parts and a simple program language we allow students to create their own Robot and find creative and unique solutions. Using the LEGO parts, we make it easy to construct the robots and try them out. Possible none working designs can be corrected easily. This ensures a stress and frustration free working environment which is important to stimulate creativity and Innovation.As a result, we expect innovative, new products that solve the tasks presented by the teachers, together with a complete documentation including the product documentation, a research document, a Project Management report and a business plan. We will exhibit all the products on etwinning and on our webpages to document those results.The internationalization element will be achieved by choosing the task that involves activities that involve local students, staff and excursions to companies etc. where the students have to speak English and also learn to communicate and work with people in the hosting country. The Objectives for the teachers are to be a coach to the groups and to document and asses the work of the group and provide some mentoring and tutoring if necessary and study the teaching methods in Austria and Portugal and visit companies. That way also the teacher can compare the processes and learning activities within the groups during the competition and during the normal classes. We expect that the teachers can find some common methods or challenges which are possible starting points for future projects and they will also learn some new methods an use them in their regular classes.
