STEM Games 2023 returned in all its glory. This year, our host was the city of Umag from May 9th to 14th, and we were accommodated in the Polynesia & Katoro apartments of Plava Laguna. This time, we gathered more than 2,000 STEM students from across the region and once again proved that the Games are in a league of their own when it comes to student competitions. A record number of participants could only mean one thing – a record-breaking good time! STEM Games 2023 truly shone in full splendor.
Interdisciplinary teams competed in solving innovative challenges tied to this year’s main theme – "Innovating Security Through STEM." The theme highlights the importance of innovative thinking and sustainable solutions to modern-day global challenges, making it the perfect foundation for exciting and demanding tasks that awaited competitors in the knowledge arenas. With their expertise, analytical thinking, and the guidance of mentors who are experts in their fields, all teams successfully tackled the challenges presented.
The sports competitions were no less exciting and intense. Once again, we showed that even though calculators and formulas are our daily routine at university, we are in excellent shape and more than capable of putting on a worthy match across various sports disciplines.
Finally, it’s worth noting that the entertainment program did not disappoint either. On Friday, the well-known Vesna Pisarović put on an unforgettable show that, luckily, didn’t end in the morning. The party continued on Saturday with Bruno Rački and Valovi, who threw a celebration that will definitely be talked about for a long time. After all, if you’ve heard anything about STEM Games, it’s probably that great fun is guaranteed—so don’t wait! Join us next year and be part of the biggest student event in the region!
