RIT CROATIA AND DURA HAVE STARTED THE
SERIES OF INNOVATIVE WORKSHOPS
RIT Croatia, in cooperation with DURA City
of Dubrovnik Development Agency and CITYOS foundation is organizing and administering
a program of informal education in the field of modern technologies.
The idea was to develop a series of
innovative workshops that combine learning and research, and are adapted to the
needs of high school and college students regardless of their pre-knowledge
level. There will be 8 workshops in total, which will be spread out in between
DURA and RIT Croatia premises. The topics that will be covered at the workshops
include Arduino for beginners, IOS application development, learning how to program
and fly drones, as well as how to create smart irrigation systems.
Prior to the beginning of the first
workshop, the Agreement of Cooperation was signed by Andrea Novaković, director
of DURA, and Don Hudspeth, President and Dean of RIT Croatia.
Mrs. Novaković expressed her satisfaction
with the program and she stated that this cooperation between DURA and RIT
Croatia is an example of excellent cooperation between public and private
sector for the benefit of local community. She pointed out that the workshops
are free of charge and opened to all students who are interested in the stated
topics.
Don Hudspeth commented
that this is a continuance of an excellent cooperation with DURA and he
emphasized that this type of education goes in line with the educational trends
that are used in RIT's curriculums. He concluded that RIT Croatia will support
all ideas for expanding cooperation on future projects.
