An initiative aimed at supporting students of technical secondary schools is set to continue. The collaboration connects schools with leading tech companies to give students a clearer idea of what modern PC hardware is, what it looks like, how it works, and how it can be applied in real-world scenarios. This professional conference, which also includes the production of educational tools for schools, will take place for the second time.<\/p>\n

We reached out through our network, contacted schools, and are now bringing something we believe is truly useful \u2014 delivering knowledge about computer hardware directly into classrooms. The project we kicked off last year<\/a> is now expanding to reach even more secondary schools. These technical institutions \u2014 with their curriculum overlap in areas such as graphics cards, power supplies, and diagnostics \u2014 will find the content particularly valuable for their students.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

In October 2025, we\u2019ll organize a conference for a minimum of 70 secondary schools across Slovakia. Just like the one we did for the launch of Intel\u2019s Arrow Lake processors, this will be filled with interaction, competitions, and hands-on activities where at the end, students from participating schools will demonstrate their skills in assembling PC systems.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Yes, the format and theme of the program could be varied, but we firmly believe in the mission of the HWCooling Techtour<\/a>. So soon, we\u2019ll be back in schools \u2014 this time in even greater numbers, thanks to the support of the team from University of \u017dilina<\/a>. The FEIT Faculty<\/a> (Department of MIKT<\/a>) will be in charge of live broadcasting. The program will feature representatives from companies like Nvidia<\/a>, MSI<\/a>, Endorfy<\/a>, HWiNFO<\/a>, and Axagon<\/a>, with a strong focus on technical content.<\/p>\n

We are also grateful to the school authorities who support us and believe in the value of this effort. For the public schools involved, which are the majority, this means regional governments (V\u00daCs) and their education departments. This kind of cooperation is new to us, and we appreciate it deeply. It comes with a sense of responsibility, of course, but above all, we\u2019re glad to see interest from multiple sides in fostering a culture of technical excellence. It’s a topic we\u2019re passionate about, and more importantly, one that helps technical secondary school students broaden their horizons and develop new skills and knowledge.<\/p>\n

One of our goals is also to provide teaching materials that help instructors in the classroom. We\u2019re preparing educational boards that break down the components covered by the conference. These boards can be used as visual aids to help teachers better explain technical topics during lessons or practical training. This year\u2019s boards will focus on GeForce RTX 50 graphics cards<\/a>, ATX 3.1 power supplies<\/a>, and PC cases<\/a>…(in 2024<\/a>, the focus was on motherboards<\/a> and processors<\/a>).<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Of course, these are just the fundamentals, but they provide a solid foundation on which to build. How each teacher chooses to use them is naturally up to them. The idea is to give students a basic understanding of the components discussed in the curriculum.<\/p>\n

While the conference itself will be closed to the public, Technical Secondary School in Martin<\/a> will host the recording of the live stream. The broadcast link will be shared on HWCooling when the time comes. Our next report will come from SP\u0160 Star\u00e1 Tur\u00e1<\/a>.<\/p>\n

If you are a technical (not only secondary) school in Slovakia and we haven\u2019t contacted you \u2014 possibly because we couldn\u2019t reach out in time \u2014 but you see value in this initiative for your students and teachers, please don\u2019t hesitate to reach out at info@hwcooling.net<\/a><\/strong>. We\u2019ll gladly include anyone who\u2019s interested. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
