The Fantastik(e) team's project presents a day in the life of students at a school where they learn German and where a surprise element appears: "In a school of the future, I am greeted by a robot. I choose a name for my new teacher, who welcomes me in German! Today we will learn how to find our way in the city. The little robot I have named "Robi" illustrates simple structures on the screen to help me find my way around an unfamiliar city. "Robi" helps them to teleport to the Berlin Wall, an attraction they have been studying about, through VR goggles, using simple structured information in a youth-friendly way, and then gives them the coordinates to get back home.

We would like to thank everyone who took part and contributed to the success of this competition. Each entry was a testament to the imagination of our students and reinforces our belief that the future of education is full of innovation!
