O1 European Requirements and Stakeholder Analysis:
O1.1 Analysis Planning
Planning was done with all the partners. Interviews were planned to be carried out with 11 open ended questions.
O1.2 Requirements and Stakeholder analysis
Interviews were carried out by partners in their own countries. 40 professional educators were interviewed. The analysis identified the main requirements and barriers towards Physical Computing.

O2 Competence Framework for Physical Computing:
O2.1 Pedagogical framework was created as a curricula and practical guidance. Defined the basic consepts by a literature review on computational thinking and acting.
O2.2 Competence Framework was formed from the European-wide interviews and by comparing national curricula. Literature review about the recent proceedings was carried out.
O2.3 Competence Scheme and Guideline
We provide a standardized competence description scheme which is used in our project. This is enhanced by a guideline how to map (national, regional) curricula so that our approach is transferable to other countries.
O2.4 Competence Mapping
The core competence framework for Physical Computing will be extended by mapping the specified competences to other subjects / competences (e.g. steering robots in a two-dimensional room -> orientation competences). By this, we ease the use of our competences and related activities also as part of other subjects.

O3 Physical Computing Open Learning Scenarios:
O3.1 Initial Open Learning Scenarios
For the initial scenarios, all partners collected 10 learning scenarios in English from their respective countries.
O3.2 Initial Scenarios (Multi-language)
The above mentioned 10 open learning scenarios per country will be localized for the participating countries (German, Finnish, Estonian, Greek).
O3.3 Mapping of OER
The learning scenarios will be enhanced by recommending existing resources
O3.4 Scenario Extension
After the initial pilots, 20 more learning scenarios per school year will be developed (total of 30 learning scenarios per year=120 scenarios)
O3.5 Scenario Extension (Multi- language)
These scenarios will also be localized for each country.
O4 Trials and Validation:
O4.1 Design of the pilot project
In this activity, we created the validation plan and templates for the pilot workshops. These will be run in O4.2 Germany, O4.3 Finland, O4.4 Greece, O4.5 Estonia. This activity contains also community building.
Trials are designed with corona restrictions in mind. Small scale trials and validation (O4.2-O4.5) are planned for the fall of 2020 and will be carried out in partner countries, if corona restrictions allow schools to be open.
O4.6 Initial Report
The report will present the results of the validations. It will also provide recommendations to update 1) the competence framework and 2) open learning scenarios based on the initial experiences.
The second empirical phase consists of Large Scale Trials in Germany (O4.7), Finland (O4.8), Greece (O4.9) and Estonia (O4.10).
O4.11 Validation Report will present the results of the large scale trials and again provide recommendations for updating learning scenarios and the competence framework
O4.12 Good Practice Guide will collect and present practices which have been created within the project. Also, it is intended to gather good practices from other experts in Europe in this area.
