Original Abstract

A project "Technical kindergarten" was prepared and realized in years 2013 – 2015 to support the interest in technology. The aim of the project was to rouse the interest in the children between the age 6 and 11, as well as support the overall technical and scientific literacy. It was supposed to improve their ability to understand new basic technical knowledge while understanding its practical influence on everyday life. The implementation of technical information into the teaching and creation of individual assignments were ensured by a diverse team of schoolteachers and specialists working in technical praxis. In the project, there were involved a university, primary school, two technical companies and Czech Management Association (an association of top managers of prominent companies in Czech Republic). This paper describes the project as well as pedagogic and psychological aspects of such education and, of course, the experience gained during the introduction of the exercises into the teaching.
