During the competition, our students worked on the fundamentals of robotics through carefully designed activities that combine play, logic, and engineering. They took part in construction tasks, learned about movement mechanisms, solved logical challenges, programmed simple routes, and operated robots in real space.
All these activities were created to spark interest in technology, while helping children understand how robots function and why they matter in today’s world.
Alisa, Marko, and Konstantin worked as a true team — dividing tasks, exchanging ideas, searching for the best solutions, and learning how success is achieved through cooperation. They also learned how to respond when something doesn’t work immediately, how to analyse mistakes, try again, and persist until they succeed.
Learning through trial and error is one of the most valuable aspects of robotics, as it builds patience, resilience, and the awareness that every challenge is an opportunity to learn something new.
With support from organisers and mentors, our students also had the chance to meet other teams, see different types of robots, and feel the real competitive spirit of their peers. These encounters often create the most inspiring moments — children discovering how wide, diverse, and exciting the STEM world truly is.
Participation in events like this aligns perfectly with the vision of Savremena Primary School — to provide an education that meets the demands of the 21st century, where knowledge is not only acquired, but applied, explored, and lived. Robotics is the ideal blend of mathematics, logic, engineering, creativity, and teamwork, which is why it plays an increasingly important role in modern schooling.
Through the competition activities, children learned how to connect classroom knowledge with real-world situations, make decisions, plan each step, predict outcomes, and think like young engineers. They also worked on developing self-confidence — because every solved task, every robot they manage to move, and every idea they present builds a sense of capability and pride.
We are immensely proud of Alisa, Marko, and Konstantin, who represented Savremena with enthusiasm, focus, and teamwork at such an important event. Their participation shows how willing children are to learn when given the right support and an environment that inspires them.
Savremena will continue to offer opportunities for students to explore STEM fields, because the knowledge gained through these experiences forms a valuable foundation for the future they are ready to create.
