Students Visit the EDI and Explore the World of Robotics

6 November 2026

On 6 November 2026, students from Riga Primary School No. 4 visited the Institute of Electronics and Computer Science (EDI) to explore the world of science and modern technology.

The aim of the visit was to spark the students’ interest in science and help them understand the role technology plays in today’s world. The highlight was a demonstration of a robotic dog, which drew great interest and excitement. The robot captured everyone’s attention, especially when it climbed the stairs onto the stage of the institute’s large hall.

The young guests eagerly followed the robot’s every move, and several students joined the discussion, asking researcher Oskars Teikmanis a wide range of questions. He gladly shared his knowledge, answered their questions and explained how robotics can be applied not only in robot development but also in other fields of scientific research.

The atmosphere was cheerful and enthusiastic. There were plenty of photos and videos, and it was clear that the visit left the students with lots of positive emotions. The event gave them a chance not only to see modern technology in action but also to get a closer look at the everyday work of scientists.

We thank the administration, teachers and students of Riga Primary School No. 4 for their active participation, curiosity and positive energy!
