POETA, "Practice-oriented children education in the areas of Industry 4.0 based on a unified open educational hardware platform" is the activity co-financed by European Union, Finland and Russia under South-East Finland - Russia CBC Programme 2014-2020. The project started in March 2020 and it is supposed to become completely self-sustainable by the fall of 2022. Together we develop teaching materials, hardware and software for schools of Lappeenranta and Leningrad Oblast. Two Technological Universities - Lappeenranta-Lahti and St.Petersburg Polytech, the Educational Department of the City of Lappeenranta and the Company ROBBO from St.Petersburg seem to be the perfect consortium of administrative, educational and business leaders.
