On Thursday, November 28, Boštjan Šumak and Maja Pušnik from the University of Maribor, Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (UM FERI), as coordinators of the RINKO project, participated in the coordination meeting of all projects from two calls: JR Experimental Projects (2023–2026) and Development of Digital Competencies / Fundamental Computer Science Knowledge (2024–2026). The event took place at the Kranj School Center.
The aim of the meeting was to present individual projects and exchange experiences with coordinators of other projects focused on integrating fundamental computer science knowledge into preschool and primary school education. We presented the RINKO project through an overview of current activities and workshops being developed at UM FERI and UM PEF. The main emphasis was on supporting teachers in integrating these key contents into their teaching practices.
The meeting provided excellent opportunities for networking with other projects, with the shared goal of improving education in the field of computer science.
