There will be 8 workshops in total, which will be spread out in between DURA and RIT Croatia premises. The topics that will be covered at the workshops include Arduino for beginners, IOS application development, learning how to program and fly drones, as well as how to create smart irrigation systems.

Prior to the beginning of the first workshop, the Agreement of Cooperation was signed by Andrea Novaković, director of DURA, and Don Hudspeth, President and Dean of RIT Croatia.

Mrs. Novaković expressed her satisfaction with the program and she stated that this cooperation between DURA and RIT Croatia is an example of excellent cooperation between public and private sector for the benefit of local community. She pointed out that the workshops are free of charge and opened to all students who are interested in the stated topics.
