The paper is aimed at the development of technical skills of pupils in primary and secondary schools. Technical courses are usually not popular among pupils. Therefore, within the scope of the ?Windows of Science Wide Open? project, we prepared a number of activities, which should encourage pupils? interest in the technical courses and help develop their technical skills. During the academic year we held several workshops for primary and secondary school pupils. The workshops contained activities such as the programming of robotic kits, the use of electric microscope in education, the use of measuring systems and a computer for the measuring of quantities around us, or the use of modern technology when creating an audiovisual project. Approximately 150 primary and secondary school pupils participated in the workshops.
