FOI teachers at the Science Festival 2025

Created: 10.03.2025
 

The Faculty of Organization and Informatics (FOI) is once again actively participating in the Science Festival, which will take place from May 5 to May 10, 2025. This year's festival theme is "Networks," and FOI teachers have prepared a series of engaging workshops designed to bring science closer to young audiences and the general public. During the Science Festival, FOI will host numerous participants through interactive workshops covering various aspects of networks – from internet and social networks to mathematical and economic connections. The workshops are tailored for different age groups and will be held at FOI premises, elementary schools, and kindergartens.
