ABOUT GoINNO
We are all about STEM - and what it makes possible
GoINNO Institute is a private, non-profit science outreach and STEM education organisation based in Kobarid, Slovenia. We design hands-on learning experiences, curricula, training, digital materials and European project outputs that make complex topics easier to understand and teach.
Where we started
A course for curious children became the foundation of our work
GoINNO began in 2016 with a STEM programme for children aged 7-10. Developed by our own team, it adapted the way scientists ask questions, test ideas and learn from results into playful, interdisciplinary activities.
Children explored chemistry, physics and engineering through hands-on experiments and innovative learning tools while strengthening curiosity, creativity, confidence and critical thinking. That first course still shapes how we work today: make ideas tangible, let people learn by doing and create resources educators can use in real settings.
