MOL2 aimed to engage educational and training centres with cross-curricular skills related to Shipbuilding and Marine Technologies. MOL2 took place in two localities – 1. Spain and 2. Italy. Both focused on promoting ocean literacy linked with the maritime sector in Europe and adapted to the involved regions.

1. Spain: Building upon existing opportunities that foster learning in a competitive framework, training was provided to support participants in a raft competition organised by a technological company whose main niche market is the maritime sector in Pontevedra, Galicia.
Target Audience
This Pilot Experience was aimed at high school and VET students and teachers. All teams registered for the Regata Solar 2020 competition were invited to participate in the workshops.

This Pilot Experience was held in the framework of an already existing raft challenge held in Baiona, North West of Spain, (V Regata Solar) lead by the company Marine Instruments. In this competition students have to design and build a solar-powered radio control boat. CETMAR (the Technological Centre of the Sea and MATES coordinator) invited all registered teams to participate in technical workshops which focused on the skills needed to build a remote control solar powered boat/raft.
The workshops were delivered between January and March 2020 and focused on the following subjects:
- Non formal training, accessible for students at EQF level 3 and 4.

In this Pilot Experience, MATES partner Cosnav Engineering engaged with students in their final year of high school (19 year olds) to make them aware of digital technologies used in the shipbuilding and maritime sectors. An introduction to 3-D scanning of objects and photogrammetry was provided to students through an engaging and fun practical session. This consisted of students doing a 3-D scan of another classmate and/or object and then showing students how to obtain 3D models of marine organisms using open source software. Also, a presentation about ocean literacy and educational games related to this topic was made to the students, in order to promote interest in the maritime industry.
- 3-D scanning
- Photogrammetry
- Ocean literacy
- Level 4
