Learn IT Academy o.z. a civil association that has been operating since 2021. It works with children's education within the areas of basic computer knowledge, ECDL courses, retraining courses, 3D modelling, design and implementation, website and online store creation. Our team has expanded its scope of activities from the summer of 2022 and has started working with Lego as a development tool. We contacted kindergartens and elementary schools in the region of southern Slovakia. We offered them the opportunity to develop with Lego, in the form of specialist courses. We are currently active in 23 institutions with 6 instructors.

 

We are currently planning to cooperate with AGEMSOFT, which has 20 years of experience in the field of digital education, and they bring innovative products and educational projects for kindergarten, elementary and high school students. Besides that we would like to introduce the currently operating Lego Education courses in more and more schools. During the summer holidays, we would increase the popularity of STEM by organizing one-week LEGO ISLAND camps and competitions. We are also conducting negotiations with the Edulab academy about future cooperation. Our joint plans include the inclusion of LEGO in their educational materials, as well as the preparation of reviewers for the further training of teachers in schools based on the STEM guidelines. Our long-term plans include the construction of schools and kindergartens based on STEM educational principles in Slovakia.
