Particularly relevant in the context of ALL Digital is the project “Informed Decisions”, promoting programming and STEAM education among pupils below 18. To achieve its objectives the center is cooperating with schools, science centers, industry, and the public sector promoting the development of a community of practice around digital education for pupils in school age, both inside and outside schools. The center organizes educational activities for children and it contributes to teacher training, both pre- and in-service.
