Faculty of Mining, Safety Engineering and Industrial Automation

This offer was prepared by academic teachers who are passionate and committed to passing on knowledge. Lectures are popular science presentations adapted to the core curriculum at the high school level.  We are well aware that students and teachers like workshops and laboratories the most, that is to say, they like practical classes, during which the student can examine, measure, and discover something all by himself!

The success of the teaching process is to encourage continuous self-learning combined with the satisfaction and joy of learning. In class, we not only pass on the necessary knowledge but try to make students aware of the importance of scientific research and measurement, and show that being a scientist and engineer is a process and a way of thinking that we learn throughout our lives!

Classes are FREE of charge, take place on the premises of the Faculty of Mining, Safety Engineering and Industrial Automation of the Silesian University of Technology in Gliwice (Street name Akademicka 2). We are also ready to come with selected classes to schools.
