As part of the “Science Connecting People” project, co-financed by the European Union from the European Social Fund, the FabLab association and its project partners are running a series of STEAM workshops for primary and secondary school pupils at the Nikola Tesla Technical Museum from 21 to 24 February 2022. The workshops also include accompanying questionnaires for pupils, aimed at examining the concepts of motivation, creativity and entrepreneurship. Participants are asked to fill in an anonymous questionnaire after the workshop for the purposes of scientific research. The workshops are delivered by educators from civil society organisations, mentored by colleagues from the Faculty of Architecture and the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering and Naval Architecture, both project partner institutions. 

Participation in the workshops is free of charge, and you can reserve a place by e-mail at info@fablab.hr or by phone on 092/300 0181. Your place is reserved once you receive a reply by e-mail or verbal confirmation over the phone. 

For children under the age of 18, parents/guardians fill in a consent form on arrival, covering participation and the photographing/filming of parts of the workshop. 

The workshops are delivered in line with the epidemiological measures currently in force. 

You can find more about the workshops and the schedule on the website of the Nikola Tesla Technical Museum and on the FabLab Croatia Facebook page.
