Dr. Bahareh Abdi (EEE) awarded 4TU.NIRICT funding for an innovative high school education project
- Thursday, 19 December 2024
Dr. Bahareh Abdi (EEE) has been awarded 4TU.NIRICT funding for her project titled “DIY Sound Instrument & Frequency Analysis: Promoting ICT Through Creative Learning.” The project, developed in collaboration with a diverse team of experts, aims to inspire Dutch high school students to explore ICT and STEM through hands-on, sound-based experimentation.
Dr. Abdi, along with co-applicants Dr. Mahboobeh Zangiabady (University of Twente), Prof. Dr. Ir. Alle-Jan van der Veen (TU Delft), Dr. F.R. Jansson (TU Delft), Dr. Ir. S. Haemers (TU Delft), and Ir. Stefanie Brackenhoff (University of Groningen), will receive €20k in funding to develop and implement this interdisciplinary educational module.
The project will engage students in building DIY musical instruments from everyday items and analyzing the sounds using a custom-developed mobile application. Through activities like frequency and amplitude analysis, students will gain insights into fundamental concepts in physics, signal processing, and ICT.
This exciting project will be hosted by Johanna Manders Makerspace, where the tools and educational materials will be developed with support from Dr. İlke Ercan and Peter Nagy from EEE.
This initiative reflects 4TU.NIRICT’s mission of fostering interdisciplinary educational innovation and strengthening collaboration between technical universities and secondary education.
