How can we bring technical education closer to young people and popularize optics?
The Czech industry needs top specialists – in optics, engineering, electronics, and other technical fields. But how do we ensure that young people choose these careers?
Over the past 5 years in Czechia, the number of students enrolling in technical programs has dropped by nearly 10%.
What can we do about it? Popularization and stronger links between schools and industry!
If we want students to discover the beauty of technical fields, we must show them in real-world applications. Engaging education, hands-on demonstrations, company visits, and direct involvement of experts in school curricula are key to success.
We have joined forces with Autoklastr to create opportunities for internships, technical training, and dual education. This collaboration includes our participation in EduBox Tour 2025 together with Národní pedagogický institut České republiky Moravskoslezská Technologická Akademie
What is EduBox?
EduBoxes are practical educational kits that bridge theory and practice. They include experiments, models, and technologies that allow students to experience the principles of optics, mechanics, electronics, and other STEM fields firsthand. EduBoxes help:
🔹 Schools gain modern teaching tools that align with labor market needs
🔹 Companies connect with schools and showcase career opportunities in high-tech industries
🔹 Students explore technology and career paths through hands-on learning
EduBox Tour 2025 has just begun! The first stop was in Olomouc, where we engaged in discussions with school directors, innovators, and industry representatives. Next, we continue our journey to Bruntál, Uherský Brod, and beyond.
