Upcoming Robotics Competition (Fall 2025) – We are planning to launch a robotics competition that will provide students with hands-on experience in programming, automation, and engineering, preparing them for careers in deep tech industries.
AI Education for Teachers – We offer multiple courses on AI designed specifically for school teachers, ensuring that educators are well-equipped to teach the next generation about artificial intelligence and its applications.
EIT Entre4Youth Project Participation – As part of this EIT initiative, we contribute to deep tech and entrepreneurial education, ensuring that young people develop both technical skills and business acumen.
