Support of technical education at primary and secondary level

The unique project based on cooperation of universities and primary or secondary schools is transformed to Czech Republic. The project, realized at Czech Technical University in Prague, Faculty of Electrical Engineering is focused on support of technical education and knowledge between primary and secondary schools´ students (and teachers). The main idea is based on “Engineer Olympics” realized at Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, STU in Bratislava [1], and “Technical Olympics - Science-Research-Development” realized at Faculty of Mechatronics in Trencin, Slovakia (both projects started at 2008), and project “Science-Research-Development in a View of Children”. The paper describes the basic ideas of the project, its three different steps as well as its advantages in comparison to other similar activities. The important part of the paper is also the evaluation of previous four very successful seasons of the project, realized in Slovak Republic. There are almost 68000 pageviews [5] registered during the mentioned four years. The qualitative and quantitative statistics will be discussed and the authors´ experiences, conclusions and advice will be presented.
