Education programme

The education programme aims to:

  • Develop modern, research-, critically- and analytically-oriented and widely applicable education programmes for children and adolescents across the Republic of Croatia, increasing the level of scientific literacy;
  • Popularise the STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) approach and methodology in non-institutional education and free time of children and adolescents;
  • Cooperate with kindergartens, schools, universities and public institutions for managing protected areas in providing education;
  • Enable the complementation of formal curricula that are often not able to keep up with the most recent scientific progress or do not have enough time, professional and other resources for conducting STEM education;
  • Develop a sustainable and modern program for educating STEM educators and educators in the field of nature and environmental protection.

The education programme is a year-long programme conducted at two levels:

  • “STEM workshops,” camps, science birthday parties and “Bioteka on the move” are educational concepts aimed at children and adolescents and integrated into STEM education. You can learn more about it at stem.bioteka.hr.
