Sažetak

The paper describes the project developed in the collaboration between Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences from the University of Zagreb and the Institute for Youth Development and Innovation (IRIM), a non-profit organisation that organises educational and competitive activities in cooperation with educational institutions and by donating the necessary equipment for the development of STEM
and digital competencies. Information Sciences students of the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences participated in the project ‘STEM revolution in the community’ (2018-2019), implementing robotics workshops in elementary schools, with the support of school teachers and their academic mentor. Students were in charge of the material development, preparation and implementation of workshops.
Students were included in the programme development of new digital educational materials that they published in the educational portal Create! (http://izradi.croatianmakers.hr/). These materials are used as a basis for the implementation of robotics workshops, the organisation of the competition and for children who want to work on more complex tasks. Students created materials in the form of presentations, tutorials, graphics and video instructions. After the successful implementation of the ‘STEM revolution’ in 2019 in the urban environment (City of Zagreb), information science students tried to implement robotics workshops in the rural environment in
2020 as part of the RURASL project in the course ‘Urban and Rural Service-Learning’.
