Inspiring Science Education

The Eratosthenes Experiment, organized once again on the 22nd of September 2016, by the Ellinogermaniki Agogi's (EA) Research and Development Department, received another impressive response. A total of 449 schools from 38 different countries took part in this celebration of science and education, calculating the circumference of the Earth by using eLearning educational tools, simple instruments and making simple mathematical calculations.
