School conferences

For schools in Slovakia, we organize professional conferences whose purpose is to connect students (and educators) with technology companies. The goal is to deepen knowledge in the field in which the schools are engaged. To support this for schools, in cooperation with the participating companies (in 2026 these were AMD, Asus, and DeepCool; in 2025 it was Nvidia, MSI, and Endorfy, and in 2024 it started with Intel and Gigabyte), we also produce and supply teaching aids in the form of large-format, easily rollable posters with a breakdown of thematic PC components.

In 2025, approximately 70 schools took part in the conferences, for which a live broadcast was done for the first time, and the documentation (of how it probably looked…) can be seen in the photos in this article.

Elsewhere, there is an illustration of the posters in some school spaces. Brno-based Axagon was always involved as a more local representative. In 2026, for the best possible comprehension, foreign speakers were interpreted from English into Slovak in real time. Even so, students at the schools often asked their questions in a foreign language. And yes, the father of the world-famous application HWiNFO gave a talk as well.

Cooling topics were presented by Arthur, who flew in to the conference all the way from China.

The most active students, who interacted the most, gathered at the end to try their hand at installing PC components.

The goal of the school conferences is to spark interest in modern computer technologies.

We are grateful for the support of the self-governing regions (the video broadcast for the first three editions was streamed from a school under the jurisdiction of the Žilina Self-Governing Region), to the shops Datacomp and TichéPC, and of course to all participants who contributed to the conferences in some way. Among them is also Slovakia’s most successful extreme overclocker, who brought liquid nitrogen to the conference.

Special thanks also go to the schools we visited in person. In order, these are Žilina Secondary Vocational School of Electrical Engineering, Martin Secondary Industrial Technical School, Liptovský Hrádok Secondary Vocational School of Electrical Engineering, Stará Turá Secondary Industrial School, and Poprad Secondary Vocational Technical School. And, of course, to the production team from FEIT (Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Information Technology) at University of Žilina, which played a key role in getting the picture and sound out.
