Explorer Express - The Smart Train
We created Explorer Express, a smart Arduino-powered model train that’s more than a toy—it’s an educational tool designed to spark curiosity and make STEM fun. Each of its four wagons has a purpose: a camera to explore, radar to detect objects, sensors to measure air quality, and a Geiger counter to study radiation. By building, programming, and experimenting, kids connect theory with practice, gaining real skills. Explorer Express turns learning into a journey—hands-on, exciting, and meaningful. it is an ongoing adventure that can be as fun as it is educational.

Gymnasium Vukovar
We are a team made up of two high school students and two science and technology teachers, united by a shared passion for creativity, problem-solving, and hands-on learning. The students are actively involved in STEM clubs, robotics competitions, and school tech fairs. They’ve gained experience through coding projects, Arduino experiments, and building small electronics prototypes. The teachers bring years of experience in STEM education, specializing in physics, engineering, and computer science. They've led extracurricular programs and guided students through many tech competitions.
