interest in technology found in large and small. It turned out during the Technology Days in Stockholm where children and young people were trying to build their own robots, create future cities and make the politicians against the wall.

     Diskostolpens inventor, Oskar Sterner: “Like a disco ball though still on the ground.”

In Technology Days last week in the Royal Garden, came children and youth classes to try out different technology activities. The gifts included making their own robot, create a future city and question politicians on technology issues.

– It was around 2500 young people and children here, says Lotta Ljungqvist of Sweden Engineers and Project Manager for the Technology Days.

In technology the camp in one of the tents pitched, low old technology scrap scattered on the tables. Everything from old clocks and circuit boards for home appliances and keyboard were using to build his own invention.

7-year-old Julia Magner and 8-year-old Sanna Kellheim from Eneby School in Danderyd had built a robotic vacuum cleaner. It was produced by a household appliance, two plastic tubes and shell to a router – all assembled with glue.

– It may vacuum by itself . It has been fun to build it, said Julia Magner.

Technology Days are being made to involve children from a young age in the subject technology. Patrik Ahlqvist, leisure and technology teacher at Eneby school think it is important that children receive a certain amount of technology instruction. He teaches the youngest students everything from managing a hammer to how leverage works.

– It’s great that the kids get to see what inventions available and how they work, says Patrik Ahlqvist.

Competence is one of Engineers’ main issues in the future – young people and teachers must inspired. Lotta Ljungqvist think she notices that many young people like technology. But it is about to keep the interest alive.

– It is important to show that technology is fun and that technology education is something schools do not prioritize very much, she says.

On Eneby school has students in grades two ten hour technique classes per semester. Lotta Ljungqvist believes that teachers may be afraid of technology, because it is too abstract. But at the Technology Days were technology specific.

– You can tell the kids they love it, says Lotta Ljungqvist.
