" summary

A Belgrade-based program runs hands-on STEM workshops for ages 3–19 that combine LEGO and electronics with block and text programming so kids build a robot, then code and iterate. Over 2,000 children have passed through free prep and competitions; workshops sustain deep focus for 90+ minutes and use team pairing to reduce quitting. The group organizes national youth robotics contests and prepares teams for World Robot Olympiad qualifiers, with a larger robotics fair planned for Feb 2023.
