The educational institution in the seaside city takes an ambitious step towards the digital future of young people. Through the targeted project "Programming with Imagination - Scratch for Little Discoverers", CPLR-Burgas reveals new opportunities for technological learning.

The initiative aims to create a modern computer technology classroom that will be equipped with modern didactic tools. The location of the activities is well-known - the center building on Raina Knyaginya Street No. 11.

The project provides for the formation of four training groups, each consisting of 13 students aged between 9 and 12 years. A qualified teacher will lead two-hour weekly sessions focused on deepening digital literacy.

The trainees will delve into computer systems, mastering key skills such as working with basic software products, surfing the internet, digital illustration, and programming through the specialized platforms Scratch 2 and Scratch 3.

The ultimate goal of the educational program is for students to develop creativity and logical thinking, presenting their own digital projects by the end of the year. This approach demonstrates a modern model of professional orientation among young people.

Funding is carried out entirely under the National Program "Providing a Modern, Safe and Accessible Educational Environment" with a budget of 20,000 leva. The training is completely free for participants.

Registration is done by submitting an application - in person at the CPLR building or electronically. Due to the limited number of places, the organizers recommend quick application.

The official start of the course is set for October 1, 2025. Those interested can obtain additional information on the center's official website or via email.
