Polytechnic days at SPŠ SE: Inspiration for primary school pupils (this time Nerudova Primary School)
Our Secondary School of Mechanical Engineering and Electrical Engineering prepared another polytechnic day, this time we were visited by students from Nerudova Primary School. The event was held on two dates, namely 28 November and 5 December 2024. A number of interesting and practical tasks focused on technology, electrical engineering and 3D printing were prepared for the participants.
Primary school pupils had the opportunity to get a glimpse into the world of technical fields through several attractive stations.

Purpose and importance of the event
The aim of the polytechnic days is to inspire primary school pupils to take an interest in technical fields, to introduce them to the possibilities of modern technologies and to encourage their creativity. The event will also allow primary school pupils to experience the environment of a secondary school, which can help them decide on their future studies.
