Summary/Abstract: This article has a theoretical side as well as a practical one and our purpose is to present a complete perspective on acquiring the metacognitive competence in an interdisciplinary context. The interdisciplinary approach is obvious in a group project which got involved 10th graders from Moisil High school, Bucharest. As part of the project, students helped by their teachers and parents have built models such as an ecological solar house, a solar power station to charge electrical cars accumulators, a green office building with a solar lift, a solar fountain and minirovers. One of the challenges of this project was interacting with real objects from a distance through the integrated functions of the high school portal http://portal.moisil.ro. This has taken shape with the turning on of the gusher fountain, of the lighting system and the driving of the minirovers.
