On Saturday 11 April 2026, Dugo Selo Secondary School held an Open Day, with the FabLab Zagreb association taking part with demonstrations of digital fabrication, 3D printing, robotics, biomaterials and an experimental approach to learning. Visitors had the chance to get to know modern technologies through hands-on examples and to see how ideas develop from concept to finished product.

The programme was further enriched by the participation of IPOI, Nikola Tesla Network, the Profesor Baltazar Association (UPB), IPZ – AI STEM educators, Virtualci, SFERIA, Akcelerator, Krijesnica, Gradionica and INNCRO-IT, who presented different approaches to learning through science, technology and creative work.

The event is one of the first steps in the collaboration between FabLab Zagreb and Dugo Selo Secondary School, established through a cooperation agreement aimed at developing STEAM skills and strengthening the link between education and the community. The collaboration began on 6 March 2026 with STEM workshops under the ERASMUS+ programme, attended by 25 pupils from Croatia, Austria, Germany, Luxembourg and Romania.

With the aim of strengthening local STEM ecosystems and encouraging cooperation between civil society organisations, educational institutions and the local community, the activities are delivered with the support of the National Foundation for Civil Society Development through the Thematic Systemic Support scheme for the area “STEM as a driver of development”.
