It is very important to move with those, who were the founders here. My impressions of the event turned my world upside down and deepened my understanding of our work. Robotics is being introduced in four schools. The classrooms are fully equipped with LEGO facilities, with which the primary school work, and robotics is being introduced from kindergartens. Therefore, I want to say that there is a place to strive for, there are effective examples and there are real solutions and interested people”.
