100 students of Kalush Lyceum No. 6 became participants in the educational project "Startup Batiary 4.0". It is designed for creative youth aged from 10 to 17, ready to reveal their potential and opportunities and turn a bright idea into a successful startup. The program started on October 16, and the next day it was officially opened with the participation Nazar Podolchak, Head of the Tech StartUp School, Lviv Polytechnic National University, and Nataliia Tsyhylyk, project manager.
As part of the project, students must complete "Creative thinking and the path to a startup" - the training course on where to look for ideas and how to implement them. Students will dive into the fascinating world of 3D modeling and 3D printing, and learn to independently create real three-dimensional things, print them on 3D printers, etc. In general, the course provides a lot of various, useful information. Classes take place online and offline during extracurricular hours and will continue throughout the academic year in the form of a team work.
The program, which will be led by experienced trainers, provides further mentoring support for the projects implementation. According to Vira Prytuliak, Director of the Lyceum, "the children accepted the offer to take part in the project with a great enthusiasm! They happily agreed to attend classes, as they want to learn something new, gain new knowledge, etc."
The study is free of charge. The project is implemented by the Tech StartUp School with the support of Lviv Polytechnic National University and Kalush Education Department.
