Sarajevo, (Fena) – Europe House, in collaboration with the National Coordinator of the European Robotics Week in Bosnia and Herzegovina, hosted a series of interactive workshops in schools across the country to emphasize the significance of this prominent EU initiative that connects robotics, coding, and future technologies with younger generations.
The educational workshops held in Gradačac, Kiseljak, Mostar, and Travnik were designed to provide students with vital STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics) skills.
Focused on igniting curiosity and fostering creativity, the activities served as students’ initial introduction to the realms of robotics and technology, encouraging them to aspire to be future scientists, engineers, and programmers.
During the sessions, students created simple robots using recycled materials, learned basic commands, undertook guided tasks with introductory programming tools, and developed short scripts and input functions.
All activities promoted creativity, teamwork, safe and responsible technology usage, and constructive thinking about functionality and improvements – essential competencies for future STEM education.
Since its inception in 2011, the European Robotics Week has engaged schools, universities, innovators, startups, and the general public across Europe through a rich program of demonstrations, discussions, and hands-on activities.
This initiative illustrates how robotics enhances multiple sectors of society – spanning healthcare, industry, culture, and daily life – while inspiring a new generation of European innovators to actively participate in the advancement of modern technologies. (28.11.)
