Last Thursday, 20 June, around 900 group 6 pupils from the entire region were introduced to the possibilities of technique during the PET event Purmerend. The promotional event for technology (PET) is a wonderful opportunity to bring children from primary school into contact with technology in the broadest sense. The events are organised for pupils in group 6, 7 or 8 and take place at various locations in North Holland.
The PET event was this time in Purmerend where H20 Esports was present with racing seats. These were very much appreciated by the young students. Besides that, the youngsters were asked what their wishes are concerning the H20 gaming centre.
About PET-events
PET events are organised for young children. However, they are not the only target group. For teachers, there is information and inspiration about activities at school/in the classroom. The organisation tries to get companies to cooperate with the education sector in order to improve engineering and science education.
