On Thursday, June 5, 2025, the 1st STEM Skills Fest was held in John Paul II Park—the first in a series of 36 events aimed at popularising STEM in public spaces, organised as part of the “STEP for STEM” project.
More than 200 children and young people, from preschoolers to high school students, participated in the STEM Fest activities, and they were learning about STEM skills through short workshops such as:
– How to create a 3D model using a 3D pen
– How to photograph the Sun with your mobile phone through our telescope
– How to charge your phone using the Sun
– How to visually program a robot
– How to code a robot to avoid obstacles on a track
– How to make a robot to draw something for us
– How do we know what’s in our water
The STEM Skills Fest took place from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., and it was organised as part of the comprehensive activities marking World Environment Day, organised by the faculties of the University of Zagreb.
Before the start of the STEM Fest, the kick-off conference of the “STEP for STEM” project was held in the STEM centre for children and youth.
