Free School Software Engineering School for more than 100 young People Started Working
Company doMEn LLC and the Faculty of Science and Mathematics of the University of Montenegro also this year continues with investing efforts make software engineering closer to young people as the most perspective profession. From September to December last year, DoMEn school of engineering was organized for 50 youngest elementary students and this semester more than 100 elementary and high school students continue or start studying software engineering.
In attempt to overcome gap between formal education and software engineering and new technologies, organizers implement a completely free DoMEn school for the eleventh year in a row. Applications were open for all young people but the number of places in school is limited by spatial capacity. So more than 100 elementary and high school students in the beginning of February got the opportunity to learn free software engineering with successful engineers and respectful lecturers of the Faculty of Science and Mathematics of the University of Montenegro. 
CEO of the company doMEn, Predrag Lesic briefly looked back on what has been achieved: “Contribution of the School is best reflected in the fact that today some of lecturers on faculties and in DoMEn School of software engineering were just our attendees. When you teach someone a certain skill you open the door making it possible for him/her to develop in new direction. And when you see those young people sharing acquired knowledge with other people you know you did the right thing. I am happy since the company doMEn and the Faculty of Science and Mathematics create better future for Montenegrin Society with this project.”
This year four groups have been formed, and attendees are divided according to age and knowledge level. After in previous semester there was a great interest for the group of the youngest engineers who studied in program language Scratch, organizers in this term formed another group of 25 students of V and VI grade. Additionally, first steps in program engineering were made by 30 senior elementary students in program language C++.
As Professor Šuković says this is not the end for young people made by company doMEn and the Faculty of Science and Mathematics for this semester: “We are trying to provide young people as many as possible with taking part in our programs. Therefore, everyone has another opportunity to be part of upcoming activities. Not only that materials from lessons will be published on portal STEMedukacija.ME, but also for all interested young people we will organize third DoMEn cup, the only online completion in software engineering in Montenegro. We ask all young people who are interested in software engineering to keep being informed and take every chance they get.”
DoMEn School of software engineering was started on 2009 by the company doMEn and tha Faculty of Science and Mathematics of the University of Montenegro and over a thousand young people have met this skill. From the very beginning this school is aimed at make closer engineering to young people as profession of the future. Last year, the company initiated the portal www.stemedukacija.me where all young people may be informed about the opportunities from the field of mathematics, engineering and other natural sciences.
