    • Connecting

      Apr 2013 - Mar 2022
      Co-Founder

      Our vision is to bring back the education where it belongs - on the top of the pyramid of needs!Robots, cars without drivers and unlocking doors with just our eyes are all situations of our reality even today. These technologies are already here and they are becoming every day more and more a part of our everyday life. If we are not ready to face this changes, side by side with technology, we are going to lose all the good parts and richness that is going to come with all of it. That is a reason why Connecting since 2013 is dedicated to create a community of entrepreneurs who will train our children from Serbia how to manage technology, and not the other way around – managed BY technology.
