Savremena Primary School recently welcomed curious little visitors from Adaland Kindergarten in Belgrade — and greeting them was the school’s very own superhero of technology, the humanoid robot Pepper.

From the very first moment, the children were fascinated by Pepper’s appearance and movements. He greeted them, talked, danced, and answered their questions. Their curiosity quickly turned into laughter and excitement as they realised they were actually talking to a real robot.

But Pepper isn’t just fun — he’s educational too.

Using such technologies helps children develop digital literacy, logical thinking, and empathy, through interaction with technology that feels natural and age-appropriate. Experiences like these create the first steps towards understanding the technologies of the future in a warm, safe, and inspiring way.

After meeting Pepper, the young guests dove into the world of MeeBot robots and LEGO blocks. Through play, they discovered how simple parts can be assembled into moving structures, explored basic principles of mechanics, and had fun programming simple movements.

Working in teams, the children created and activated small robots — every moment of success was followed by cheers and applause.

The MeeBot Kit is designed to bring STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) closer to children in a fun and engaging way, encouraging creativity and problem-solving. LEGO bricks further fueled their imagination, as familiar toys became tools for building something new and extraordinary. In this way, technology wasn’t something “distant” — it was right there, in their hands.

One of the most exciting moments for the children was discovering VR glasses and interactive tablets.
As soon as they put on the VR headsets, their faces lit up — they stepped into a colourful virtual world full of motion and curiosity-provoking content.

The VR experience allows children to learn through movement, experience, and emotion, in a way completely different from a traditional classroom. Tablets gave them the chance to explore interactive tasks independently and strengthen their digital skills.

For many, this was their very first encounter with virtual reality — an experience they will surely remember for a long time.

The visit from Adaland Kindergarten showed just how powerful innovative learning approaches can be, even at the earliest age.
The combination of technology and play awakens curiosity, builds logical thinking and confidence, and teaches children how to collaborate, communicate, and explore together.

These experiences help them understand that technology is not just a screen or a gadget — it’s a tool that connects people and opens new possibilities.

Schools that use innovations such as Pepper the robot, VR glasses, and interactive STEM tools create an inspiring learning environment that children remember for life. Through experiences like these, children learn by living and doing — the most powerful way to learn in early childhood.

Savremena Primary School has long shown that technology is not just a tool — it’s a bridge to knowledge, exploration, and the future.

Our programmes are built on the idea that digital literacy develops best through experience, play, and curiosity — not theory.
This time, our doors were open to the little ones from Adaland Kindergarten, who left full of impressions, smiles, and questions.

The excitement they showed throughout the day is the best proof that innovation truly inspires — even the youngest learners.
In a world that’s changing faster than ever, experiences like these help children grow into curious, confident, and ready explorers of the future.
