The aim of the Science Club is to organize workshops that improve the technical and IT competence and skills of students. These transcurricular activities are based on STEM topics, Arduino applications, robotics and space research, which are not included in the school curricula. Through these activities, students are acquainted with the latest results of science and technology, which they can apply in practical workshops. The achievements of the Science Club (Arduino controlled meteorological station, minisatellite, rescue and fire robot, etc.) show that these activities can motivate students to participate more effectively at classroom activities in order to learn theoretical subjects and later choose a career in this field.
