Castles, Water and Mysteries:a Magical STEAM Journey with Little Aeolus"

ONCE UPON A TIME...

..... there was a little hero named Aeolus. He was a very curious hero and wanted to know as much as possible about the towers in cities and castles! What makes them so strong that they can reach the sky? How tall can they be? What are they made of? What were their secrets and mysteries? Do you want to know his story? 🌬️🏰

Aelous

"Hello, my friends! Can you hear me? The wind is whispering a secret about the tall towers of castles! What makes them so strong that they can reach for the sky? 🌬️🏰 Let's discover their secrets together!"

01

I am the knight Sir Galeon. I like to build castles, make powerful machines and find ingenious technological solutions to every challenge. I always have my tools with me and I wear armor!

Sir Galeon

Princess Myrto (Science & Mathematics 🔬➗)

A measurement mission! Challenge the children to measure the height of their towers using simple methods, like a string or ruler. Introduce concepts of measurement and scale.

Princess Aurora (Art & History 🎨📜)

An artistic exploration! Ask the children to research a famous historical tower (e.g., the Leaning Tower of Pisa) and then draw or paint it, focusing on artistic and architectural details.

Orion (Geography & Movement 🗺️🚶)

A "Tower Treasure Hunt"! Hide clues around the schoolyard or classroom related to towers. The children must follow a map to find the clues and the final "treasure" (e.g., a storybook about towers).

"Travel around the world and look for famous towers. Create an infographic about your favorite tower. Write the name of your school and paste the link of the infographic or the poster you created in the frame you like best. The adventure begins!"

Selene (Creativity & Fantasy 💡✨):

A storytelling quest! The children will create their own story about a character living in a magical, hidden tower.

Selene, the Dreamkeeper and friend of Little Aeolus, has a very special mission for the children! They are invited to create their own story about a character who lives in a magical, hidden castle .

Your Mission Build the tallest possible freestanding tower using only the provided recycled materials and simple tools. The most important thing is that your tower is stable and clever—it must stand up all on its own! Materials & Tools You can use: Recycled Materials: Cardboard tubes, cereal boxes, egg cartons, plastic bottles, newspaper, etc. (Ask a grown-up what's safe to use!) Simple Tools: Tape, glue, scissors, string. Key Rules Stand Alone: Your tower must be able to stand on the floor or a flat table without anyone holding it. Use Only Provided Items: Don't use anything extra that's not on the list (like books or heavy toys inside for weight). Stability First: A tall tower that falls down doesn't count! Think about wide bases and strong connections.
