For the first time, on May 28, 2022, the FIRST LEGO League Explore festival was successfully held at the Savremena elementary school, organized by the Association “Real Deal”, the SerbianTech organization and the Slovenian organization Super Glavce. As many as nine teams from Belgrade and Kragujevac participated.
Explore Season 2021/22
The teams started preparations for the program already in 2021, working diligently on designing the project, creating panels and presentations, as well as a motorized model made of LEGO blocks.
The all-day program allowed participants to experiment, develop their confidence, critical thinking and design and construction skills through fun and hands-on STEM learning.
That day, all teams were winning teams because they showed what it means to exude team spirit, enthusiasm, creativity and curiosity!
All teams excelled and demonstrated exceptional knowledge in the fields of science, technology, engineering and mathematics. Also, the participants stood out in the field of Core Values, where they presented and exchanged their ideas with other teams.
The organization was also supported by the Rauch company, which provided refreshments for the participants and organizers on the day of the Festival.
