Inspiring Young Minds in STEM

Members of the Artificial Intelligence research group, Dino Nejašmić, Antonela Prnjak, and Nika Jerković, hosted students from Dobri Primary School who are participating in the StemFemme project. The students were accompanied by their teacher Kristina Vladić and pedagogue Iris Didić-Mužić. The goal of the project is to engage girls in the STEM field.

The event, held at the Faculty of Science, included workshops demonstrating the reasoning processes of intelligent systems and presenting intelligent agents (robots). The activities showcased how to connect technology with creative activities to foster children’s emotional development and expression.

The success and immediacy of the approach were evident in the working atmosphere, where students shared their views on technology and its impact on creativity by proposing their own solutions. This event once again demonstrates how activities initiated by the Science Festival continue to develop and take place throughout the year.

Through these engaging workshops, the students experienced firsthand how technology can be integrated with creativity to inspire and nurture their interest in STEM. This initiative highlights the ongoing commitment to fostering a passion for science and technology among young minds, particularly encouraging girls to explore and thrive in these fields.
