Έγινε παρουσίαση στους εκπαιδευτικούς του 1ου Γυμνασίου Γέρακα της δημιουργικής μεθόδου παιχνιδοποίησης, Gamification for fun, η οποία αναφέρεται στην πρακτική της εφαρμογής στοιχείων που μοιάζουν με παιχνίδι — όπως πόντοι, προκλήσεις, ανταμοιβές και πρόοδος — σε εκπαιδευτικές δραστηριότητες. Τονίστηκε ότι ο στόχος είναι να γίνει η μάθηση πιο ελκυστική, διαδραστική και διασκεδαστική, διατηρώντας παράλληλα την εστίαση σε βασικούς μαθησιακούς στόχους. Παρουσιάστηκαν όλα τα στάδια της μεθόδου (καθορισμός μαθησιακών στόχων, υπόθεση, προκλήσεις και πρόοδος, κανόνες, στρατηγική ανταμοιβή). Επίσης παρουσιάστηκαν δύο παιχνίδια που δημιουργήθηκαν με βάση αυτή τη μέθοδο, «Τα καπέλα του De Bono. Η ζωή του Υπολογιστή - Καπέλα Επί Δράσης!» για το μάθημα της Πληροφορικής Γυμνασίου και «Τα καπέλα του De Bono. Η δύναμη των στατιστικών!» για το μάθημα της Στατιστικής στο Λύκειο.

A presentation was given to the teachers of the 2nd Senior School of Gerakas on the creative gamification method, Gamification for fun, which refers to the practice of applying game-like elements — such as points, challenges, rewards, and progress — to educational activities. It was emphasized that the goal is to make learning more engaging, interactive, and enjoyable, while maintaining a focus on key learning objectives. All stages of the method were presented (setting learning objectives, storyline, challenges and progress, rules, strategy, and payoff). Two games created based on this method were also showcased: “De Bono’s Hats. The Life of the Computer – Hats in Action!” for Junior High School Computer Science, and “De Bono’s Hats. The Power of Statistics!” for Senior High School Statistics. In both games, students can imagine themselves as researchers or travelers who use the "Six Thinking Hats" as different lenses through which to view information from multiple perspectives. In this way, the abstract concepts of critical thinking and argumentation are transformed into an interactive and comprehensible journey.

Οι εκπαιδευτικοί, αφού γνώρισαν τις μεθόδους της ψηφιακής αφήγησης στο διαδικτυακό προγραμματιστικό περιβάλλον του Scratch, δημιούργησαν έργα που αφορούσαν διαλόγους μεταξύ χαρακτήρων με επιλογή κατάλληλου υποβάθρου. Στα έργα αυτά πρόσθεσαν ήχους, φωνή από ηχογράφηση, κείμενο σε ομιλία, κίνηση, αλλαγή ενδυμασιών κλπ για να τους προσδώσουν ζωντάνια. Συζητήθηκαν ιδέες για το πώς μπορούν να ενσωματώσουν αυτή τη δημιουργική μέθοδο στη διδασκαλία των δικών τους αντικειμένων.
