Central & Eastern Europe:2016 Projects Overview

The countrywide project aimed at strengthening experimental and research based learning for children and youth. Club

members are encouraged to find the topics themselves and search for the answers to the identified problems by performing

the experiments using widely available materials: in the home kitchen or garage, on a walk or in the garden. A club may be

started everywhere: in the countryside and in a town or city, in a kindergarten, at school or independently from the formal

education system. It may be led by a teacher, local leader, parent or by older student

Young Explorers Clubs

In order to enhance secondary students interest in STEM education Boeing

supported development and manufacturing of 150 training sets on the subject

of “Air”. The “Dreams Engineers” toolkits have been distributed among the most

engaged clubs leaders. An educational set includes components which enable

users to conduct experiments related to a specific subject area – air. The set is

comprised of measuring equipment, construction elements and materials which

are used to demonstrate specific phenomena and processes. A specially

designed notepad presents interesting facts on aviation and enables collecting

the measurements in a structured way

1st Polish National CanSat Competition

The project is addressed to secondary school students. It’s main goal is to promote STEM education, engage young

generation into hands-on engineering activity, develop technical skills and enhance team work capacity. European

Space Agency ESA Education Office has been inviting secondary school students to take part in the European CanSat

competition since 2010. To take part in the European finals the team needs to be a winner of the National CanSat

Competition (NCC). In 2016 Boeing sponsored First Polish National Competition organized by Copernicus Science

Centre

The event was organized on 7- 10 April at the local airport

and on military range, 45 participants in 7 teams competed.

The mini-satellites were propelled to the altitude of 2,500 m

with the rocket reaching a top speed of about 0.9 Mach. The

winning team - GILASAT from the Academic High School of

Torun, represented Poland on the 2016 European challenge

in Portugal.

Boeing Central & Eastern Europe has supported the Lodz Children’s University,

hosted at Lodz University of Technology since its beginning in 2008. The project

is intended to boost children natural curiosity and spark their interest in pursuing

science and engineering careers. The Children’s University is a program of

more than 15 workshops and 10 lectures for 1,200 children aged between 7 and

12, workshops for the group of 70 alumni ages 13-15 with the focus on solving

scientific problems in biotechnology, electronics and robotics and interactive

sessions for school teachers from the Lodz voivodeship

Lodz Children University


In 2016 new program for local schools has been launched. Miniphänomenta is a mini-science center with 52 experimental

stations that are made available to students in their own school for 2 weeks. At the end the parents are invited to play with

the stations and are encouraged to build the same exhibits for the school. Teachers participating in the program receive two

days training which includes building few stations

The Young Explorers Clubs program provides a hands-on workshops

focused on experiments performed using high-tech lab equipment of

Wroclaw University of Technology

The goal is to fill the gap in formal education where physics is not taught at

all or is delivered in an uninteresting way by memorizing the patterns without

understanding the phenomena

The participants are given the problems and encouraged to find the solution

by doing the experiments, performing measurements and analyzing the data

The programs is delivered in agglomeration of large city Wroclaw but also at

schools in small towns and villages of the region


Academy of Young Explorers


Washington Business Week is a program that for 40 years is preparing students to successfully enter the workforce by

giving them the skills, confidence, and values to succeed in life

In 2009 the Mayor of Gdynia, Poland, invited the Business Week Program to Poland. Gdynia Business Week was held

for the first time in August for 100 students and has become an annual event with potential growth

In 2011 Gdynia Business Week expanded in Poland to add programs in Bolesławowo and Gdansk

The program receives great support from all cities’ authorities as well as from local business

“WBW’s Poland program has been a life-changing experience for me to learn about myself as a leader and mentor for

international students. The opportunity to watch the Polish students grow as leaders, become confident in their English

speaking skills and bond with other students to become life-long friends is truly rewarding” – Angela Barbera, BCA

Renton Cost Accounting, The Boeing Company

Healthy diet for seriously ill children

Boeing Central & Eastern Europe has been partnering with Bátor Tábor (Camp of Courage) since

2012.The program focuses on therapeutic recreation, allowing sick children to meet challenges and

experience success. Located in Hungary, this is the only therapeutic recreation center in the Central &

Eastern Europe (CEE) region, and it welcomes seriously ill children from the Czech Republic,

Hungary, Poland and Slovakia. Bátor Tábor is a member of the Serious Fun Children's Network that

was established by the Academy Award winner, Paul Newman

In 2016 the education program on healthy diet with the

intended outcome to trigger long term changes in the

nutrition of the campers, their families and the volunteers

was implemented. The healthy meals in the camp, games

related to healthy nutrition, printed materials on healthy

eating (Bátor Tábor recipe book, leaflet for volunteers in

several languages) were the main program components

Central & Eastern Europe: Community Volunteering

In 2016 Boeing employees in Poland joined the charity drive “Noble Box” – country wide

initiative aiming to support anonymously carefully selected underprivileged families with

the articles they are missing or have no enough funds to buy. The funds collected

enabled us to forward 7 boxes with groceries and other daily use articles.

On the top of it we have donated the Lenovo tablet received as a business courtesy. Our

Global Corporate Citizenship partner Copernicus Science Center volunteered to sponsor

8 vouchers for free entrance to the exhibition valid until November 2017.
