Abstract

SciFest is a festival of science, technology, and environmental issues. It attracts annually 6000 school children, student, teacher, and public audience to learn and make innovations together with experts from various fields. Workshops from Computer Science and other IT-related fields have been very popular in science festivals, and this provides possibilities also for student recruitment.
