The John S. Latsis Public Benefit Foundation continued its support for the “STEAMing the Future” programme of Anatolia College for the 2024-2025 school year, as part of its three-year commitment that began in 2023. This innovative Programme is aimed at children who wish to cultivate digital skills and critical thinking, as well as become familiar with the professions of the future related to the STEAM fields. With the Foundation’s support, the Programme expanded geographically and in terms of age range, offering the opportunity to primary, middle and high school students from the area of Thessaloniki –especially focusing on children from public schools in Western Thessaloniki– to participate in free on-site experiential workshops aiming at their academic and personal development.
202 students from 123 schools attended the Programme’s courses that took place at the Anna Papageorgiou STEM Center during the school years 2023-2024 and 2024-2025.
As part of the courses, students are introduced to a variety of subjects, including Programming, Artificial Intelligence, Computational Thinking, Robotics, and Automation.
