Educational initiatives in Croatia are expanding STEM and innovation programming for youth. In late September 2026, the Primorsko-goranska County Innovators Association and the Science and Technology Park of the University of Rijeka organized workshops designed to teach high school students how to transform technical inventions into market-ready products, covering intellectual property and financing.

Following these efforts, the Istra ICT Association announced a series of free workshops for October 2026 titled ‘LevelUP STEM: Explore, Learn, Create!’. These sessions, held in Pula, Fažani, Rovinj, and Pazin, focus on practical applications such as robotics, 3D design, informatics, and using video games to study biology and chemistry.
