Participants&#8217; age range is&nbsp;5-10 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Most activities within the Laboratory will be&nbsp;based on&nbsp;manual workshops, which is&nbsp;particularly important for children in&nbsp;this age group. Such workshops will allow for improving the manual skills of&nbsp;early school-age children and preschoolers. Manual skills at&nbsp;this stage of&nbsp;development are extremely useful in&nbsp;shaping writing proficiency. Furthermore, the relationship between manual dexterity and correct pronunciation is&nbsp;well-known. Speech therapists are sounding the alarm that in&nbsp;the age of&nbsp;television and computers, the speech of&nbsp;preschool and early school-age children is&nbsp;severely impaired. The manual development of&nbsp;a&nbsp;child of&nbsp;preschool age allows them to&nbsp;perform activities requiring the improvement of&nbsp;dexterity and efficiency, as&nbsp;well as&nbsp;good coordination. Motor skills mean the development of&nbsp;abilities not only through artistic, drawing, or&nbsp;cutting games but also in&nbsp;practice. Developing motor skills can be&nbsp;done using traditional methods such as&nbsp;painting with crayons or&nbsp;using coloring books, or&nbsp;spatial games requiring greater creativity and imagination. Building various figures and constructions from blocks serves to&nbsp;develop motor skills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Both artistic aspects and manual construction of&nbsp;spatial structures are included in&nbsp;each of&nbsp;the modules conducted within the project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-vertical is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-1f96cfca wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Three modules will operate within the project:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>engineering module (M1), which will include geological, chemical, and construction marketing classes. This module will aim to&nbsp;awaken cognitive curiosity in&nbsp;the basics of&nbsp;practical physics and chemistry, and entrepreneurial skills in&nbsp;young people. The module&#8217;s&nbsp;task will therefore be&nbsp;to&nbsp;show construction as&nbsp;a&nbsp;highly interdisciplinary field.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>traffic safety and programming module (M2). Again, the interdisciplinary nature of&nbsp;construction will be&nbsp;shown by&nbsp;combining two seemingly independent fields: road, rail, and transport engineering with computer programming. The first part of&nbsp;the classes, focused on&nbsp;the use of&nbsp;urban transport, will stimulate social development, while the second part, focused on&nbsp;the simple use of&nbsp;graphic applications in&nbsp;programming, will stimulate intellectual development, creative thinking, and imagination.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>transport and wind engineering module (M3). This time, the dynamics of&nbsp;transport traffic and aerodynamics have been combined into one module. Classes using a&nbsp;tram traffic simulator stimulate imagination and awaken cognitive curiosity in&nbsp;technical sciences. The simulation of&nbsp;dangerous phenomena in&nbsp;road traffic conducted within the module will make the principles of&nbsp;safe road movement more realistic and allow for the visualization of&nbsp;the consequences of&nbsp;dangerous behaviors (simulations do&nbsp;not contain drastic scenes). Classes in&nbsp;the wind tunnel will improve manual skills and motor functions, and by&nbsp;building structures resistant to&nbsp;wind, they will also stimulate imagination and engineering curiosity.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-vertical is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-1f96cfca wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The implementation of&nbsp;modules within the Laboratory project will enable the development of&nbsp;the following competencies among workshop participants:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>broadening general knowledge (module M1),<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>broadening specialized knowledge in&nbsp;solid body dynamics (module M3),<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>development of&nbsp;interests, mainly technical, but also mathematical, IT, economic (all modules)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>stimulating educational activity in&nbsp;difficult exact sciences. Within all modules, we&nbsp;will try to&nbsp;demystify the negative attitude of&nbsp;most of&nbsp;society towards sciences related to&nbsp;mathematical skills \u2013 it&#8217;s&nbsp;not as&nbsp;scary as&nbsp;it&nbsp;seems.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The result of&nbsp;the workshops within the Laboratory project will be, in&nbsp;the future, professional activation in&nbsp;technical professions, which are currently the most sought after in&nbsp;the labor market. Technical professions at&nbsp;all levels, from general construction workers to&nbsp;technicians and engineers, are still not very popular among young people. The Laboratory project programme goes back to&nbsp;early school and preschool education, based on&nbsp;the principle of&nbsp;&#8216;as&nbsp;the twig is&nbsp;bent, so&nbsp;grows the tree&#8217;. In&nbsp;older primary school grades or&nbsp;secondary school, it&nbsp;is&nbsp;often too late to&nbsp;awaken interest in&nbsp;technical sciences. Children are then already negatively disposed to&nbsp;everything related to&nbsp;exact sciences. Within the project, we&nbsp;want to&nbsp;show the benefits of&nbsp;technical professions. Engineering professions are not boring; they are unique, require inventiveness, and provide satisfaction. Children, seeing these benefits despite the difficulties associated with mathematical and physical sciences, may choose a&nbsp;technical profession.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Technical sciences presented in&nbsp;an&nbsp;accessible, practical way at&nbsp;workshops stimulate innovative thinking and entrepreneurship. The project is&nbsp;aimed at&nbsp;children aged 5-10. Currently signed cooperation agreements cover large and small cities, as&nbsp;well as&nbsp;villages and suburban areas. Furthermore, within the project, a&nbsp;cooperation agreement has already been signed with an&nbsp;integrative educational unit, where children with disabilities KD2 receive education. In&nbsp;this way, the project will implement a&nbsp;sustainable development policy. Sustainable development is&nbsp;the pursuit of&nbsp;improving the quality of&nbsp;life while maintaining social equality, biodiversity, and the richness of&nbsp;natural resources (According to: Gerwin M., Local Development Initiatives). It&nbsp;will therefore prevent social exclusion regardless of&nbsp;the place of&nbsp;residence or&nbsp;the child&#8217;s&nbsp;ability.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div data-wp-class--is-open=\"state.isOpen\" data-wp-context=\"{ &quot;id&quot;: &quot;accordion-item-5&quot;, &quot;openByDefault&quot;: false }\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.initAccordionItems\" data-wp-on-window--hashchange=\"callbacks.hashChange\" class=\"wp-block-accordion-item is-layout-flow wp-block-accordion-item-is-layout-flow\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-accordion-heading has-icon has-icon-right has-ast-global-color-0-color has-text-color has-link-color has-medium-font-size wp-elements-5\" style=\"border-bottom-color:var(--wp--preset--color--ast-global-color-0);border-bottom-width:3px\"><button aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"accordion-item-5-panel\" data-wp-bind--aria-expanded=\"state.isOpen\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.toggle\" id=\"accordion-item-5\" type=\"button\" class=\"wp-block-accordion-heading__toggle\"><span class=\"wp-block-accordion-heading__toggle-title\">Project &#8220;Mathematical Kaleidoscope&#8221;<\/span><span class=\"wp-block-accordion-heading__toggle-icon\" aria-hidden=\"true\">+<\/span><\/button><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div aria-labelledby=\"accordion-item-5\" data-wp-bind--hidden=\"state.isHidden\" data-wp-on--beforematch=\"actions.handleBeforeMatch\" id=\"accordion-item-5-panel\" role=\"region\" class=\"wp-block-accordion-panel is-layout-flow wp-block-accordion-panel-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"2560\" height=\"330\" fetchpriority=\"low\" src=\"https:\/\/pk.edu.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/loga-scaled.png\" alt=\"European Funds logo, Polish flag, EU flag\" class=\"wp-image-3537\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pk.edu.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/loga-scaled.png 2560w, https:\/\/pk.edu.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/loga-300x39.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-vertical is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-5860a064 wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Project &#8220;Mathematical Kaleidoscope&#8221; (WND-POWR.03.01.00-00-T044\/18) was implemented under the Operational Programme Knowledge Education Development 2014-2020 and co-financed by&nbsp;the European Social Fund.

The first task is&nbsp;to&nbsp;conduct training for secondary school teachers. Within this framework, the PK&nbsp;KUT Institute of&nbsp;Physics organizes courses for secondary school teachers \u2013 these are primarily laboratory classes (covering experiments from Physics Lab I&nbsp;and II), but also include data analysis from these experiments and lectures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The second task is&nbsp;practical aspects of&nbsp;physics \u2013 conducting laboratory classes in&nbsp;experimental physics. This task is&nbsp;addressed to&nbsp;secondary school students. The PK&nbsp;KUT Institute of&nbsp;Physics provides its specialized laboratories where secondary school students, under the supervision of&nbsp;PK&nbsp;KUT educators, independently conduct and analyze experiments from various fields of&nbsp;physics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The third task is&nbsp;also addressed to&nbsp;secondary school students: physical aspects of&nbsp;robotics \u2013 practical classes with robots. During these classes, students, working in&nbsp;small groups, independently build and program robots and drones \u2013 using educational kits for this purpose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The project will cover approximately 20 teachers and approximately 90 secondary school students from Krakow and other towns (e.g., D\u0119bica).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Co-financing: PLN 329,252.5<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div data-wp-class--is-open=\"state.isOpen\" data-wp-context=\"{ &quot;id&quot;: &quot;accordion-item-7&quot;, &quot;openByDefault&quot;: false }\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.initAccordionItems\" data-wp-on-window--hashchange=\"callbacks.hashChange\" class=\"wp-block-accordion-item is-layout-flow wp-block-accordion-item-is-layout-flow\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-accordion-heading has-icon has-icon-right has-ast-global-color-0-color has-text-color has-link-color has-medium-font-size wp-elements-7\" style=\"border-bottom-color:var(--wp--preset--color--ast-global-color-0);border-bottom-width:3px\"><button aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"accordion-item-7-panel\" data-wp-bind--aria-expanded=\"state.isOpen\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.toggle\" id=\"accordion-item-7\" type=\"button\" class=\"wp-block-accordion-heading__toggle\"><span class=\"wp-block-accordion-heading__toggle-title\">Project &#8220;Academy of&nbsp;Masters of&nbsp;Technology&#8221;<\/span><span class=\"wp-block-accordion-heading__toggle-icon\" aria-hidden=\"true\">+<\/span><\/button><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div aria-labelledby=\"accordion-item-7\" data-wp-bind--hidden=\"state.isHidden\" data-wp-on--beforematch=\"actions.handleBeforeMatch\" id=\"accordion-item-7-panel\" role=\"region\" class=\"wp-block-accordion-panel is-layout-flow wp-block-accordion-panel-is-layout-flow\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-vertical is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-5860a064 wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Project WND-POWR.03.01.00-00-T093\/18-00 is&nbsp;implemented under the Operational Programme Knowledge Education Development 2014-2020 and co-financed by&nbsp;the European Social Fund.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The main objective of&nbsp;the project is&nbsp;the development of&nbsp;knowledge and competencies in&nbsp;technical and exact sciences, as&nbsp;well as&nbsp;creative thinking, teamwork, problem-solving, and innovative thinking. Children and youth participate in&nbsp;additional classes in&nbsp;mathematics, physics, robotics, and architecture. One of&nbsp;the attractive forms of&nbsp;interdisciplinary activities is, for example, a&nbsp;strategic game that combines the history of&nbsp;the Krakow Fortress with logical thinking skills \u2013 participants solve puzzles, with competitive elements in&nbsp;the form of&nbsp;escape rooms and augmented reality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The project is&nbsp;aimed at&nbsp;students in&nbsp;grades 6-8 of&nbsp;primary schools. The project promotes the activity of&nbsp;scientific clubs, independent work of&nbsp;students under the supervision of&nbsp;PK&nbsp;KUT University of&nbsp;Technology staff, the development of&nbsp;social competencies, and the acquisition of&nbsp;new knowledge. Furthermore, the educational offer in&nbsp;the project is&nbsp;also directed at&nbsp;primary school teachers who want to&nbsp;expand their substantive knowledge and didactic experience in&nbsp;the aforementioned subjects. As&nbsp;part of&nbsp;the project tasks, we&nbsp;cooperate with schools from the Ma\u0142opolska and Podkarpackie Voivodeships.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Project value: PLN
