Our companies – How to choose your future school

People

A project day, in which primary school pupils gain information that’s important for the choice of their further studies, build a robot, and get an idea of how a successful company functions.

What’s the aim of the project?

The aim of the OUR COMPANIES game is to provide children in 8th and 9th grades with information that will help them and their parents decide on the choice of their next level of education. We focus on directing children from elementary schools to technical secondary schools.

 

What’s the result of the project?

The OUR COMPANIES game is a product of the NGO Nvias and the Information Technology Administration of the City of Pilsen The aim of the game is to provide children in 8th and 9th grades with information that will help them and their parents decide on the choice of their next level of education.

The game provides this information in an attractive and comprehensible manner.
As part of the comprehensive support in the selection of a further school, the game is followed by the Map of Education, which provides information as to what secondary technical schools are available and their potential connection to university studies (UWB technical faculties), all through understandable questions aimed at finding out what a pupil enjoys most.

Together with the work of career counsellors at primary schools, this makes for a comprehensive
and efficient process / method of assistance with the right choice of a technically oriented school.
