FITNA Technology Days a success again this year

The "FITNA" (promoting young people's interest in technology and science) in the Sarganserland-Werdenberg and Liechtenstein region in spring 2024 was once again a complete success. Over 300 children and young people took part in the wide range of workshops.

The "FITNA" project enables schoolchildren to immerse themselves in the world of technology and science. As part of workshops on up to three Wednesday afternoons, young people from the Sarganserland-Werdenberg region and the Principality of Liechtenstein were able to work on small projects themselves in well-known companies. The more than 300 participants from the region were able to take part in a variety of workshops. For example, pencil holders, whistles, toy cars, bubble tea, bath salts, dice and key rings were made.

The 11th edition of the FITNA Technology Days can once again be considered a great success. Many great items were produced, which the participants were able to take home with them. The organizers are pleased that the offer continues to be appreciated and supported by all participants (young people, parents, schools, companies). The many praising responses encourage those responsible to make a contribution to combating the shortage of skilled workers in STEM fields and to help attract more apprentices to these professions.
