LAB IT Creativityit not only connects companies with secondary schools, but also involves another article playing an important motivating role, namely current students of IT departments at TUKE. The cooperation will include expert lectures, company visits and work on our own projects, which will culminate in the June closing meeting associated with the presentations.

Learning from top people from practice is a great opportunity for us. We have skilled students at school and their desire to move forward and work on their own projects is growing from year to year. We try to give our students more than just an education. It is mentoring, human approach, willingness and personal contact with professionals.
We wish our students a lot of success in the implementation of project intentions.
