Prizma – Science and Innovation was founded in Čačak to help ensure that high-quality science is not distant, closed off or reserved for laboratories.
Who we are
We do not make science accessible by oversimplifying it. We make it accessible by enabling people to experience it.
We bring together people from different professional backgrounds and connect education, engineering, research and cultural heritage. Our programmes foster curiosity, responsibility, teamwork and the ability to turn an idea into a concrete solution.
We give young people space to create
They do not only learn: they investigate, test, make mistakes, improve and present their results to the public.
We connect schools, professionals and communities
The most valuable projects emerge when institutions and people share knowledge, resources and responsibility.
Results should outlive the project
A handbook, a prototype, a new skill, a partnership or an idea with room to grow.
People & expertise
A young organisation built on long-standing STEM practice.
Prizma was founded in 2023, but the expertise behind it was built over many years of STEM education, science communication, student mentoring, robotics, programming and project-based innovation.
Olga Dukic brings extensive professional experience in STEM education, educational technology, science communication and youth innovation. Her previous work includes projects supported by the Serbian Center for the Promotion of Science, work with gifted physics students and national competitions, robotics and programming education, Moodle-based learning environments, science festivals, Researcher’s Night activities and interdisciplinary STEM programmes.
She has organised and delivered science and STEM activities in Čačak and other cities in Serbia and the region, including long-running science-festival programmes, public science events and hands-on workshops connecting physics, programming, robotics, sustainability and engineering.
In 2023, she mentored the Smart Start young-innovator team whose Smart House project received four international recognitions at the Global Invention Forum in Cyprus. This prior experience now strengthens Prizma’s work in educational technology, AI-supported learning, sensor-based research, environmental monitoring and digital-twin approaches.
Gifted students, competitions and hands-on STEM
Long-standing work with talented physics students, competition preparation, mentoring and interdisciplinary STEM workshops.
Science festivals and public programmes
Science-festival organisation, Researcher’s Night activities, World Space Week and public science communication for children, young people and families.
Programming, robotics and learning technology
Robotics and coding workshops, Moodle-based courses and current development of AI-supported learning environments through Mentora.
From student ideas to international recognition
Mentoring of project-based innovation, including the Smart House team recognised internationally in Cyprus in 2023.

Selected projects and initiatives
What we have done speaks more clearly than broad promises.
Every project connects learning with building, measuring, experimenting or solving a real-world problem.

A small association can make a major difference when it knows why it exists.
Prizma – Science and Innovation founded
The organisational foundation was established for science communication projects, support for young talent and innovative educational programmes in Čačak and beyond.
foundedFour international recognitions for the Smart House innovation
Before Prizma was formally founded, Olga Dukic mentored the Smart Start young-innovator team whose Smart House project received four international recognitions at the Global Invention Forum in Cyprus.

Developed within Prizma – Science and Innovation, the educational robotics project received first prize for innovation at the Science and Technology Fair in Belgrade.
awardSustainability and community science projects
Educational programmes were delivered with support from the Ministry of Education and the City of Čačak, in cooperation with local institutions and professional partners.
institutional supportNew projects at the intersection of technology, environment and heritage
We are developing partnerships and project concepts in sensor measurements, data analysis, digital twins, cultural heritage and contemporary STEM education.
developmentAreas of work and development
The best project ideas often begin where one discipline ends.
Our work is not limited to one topic. It is guided by a common principle: knowledge should be verifiable, useful and accessible.
STEM education, AI-supported learning and science communication
Workshops, mentoring, robotics, coding and learning technologies — including the development of Mentora as a real-world environment for AI-supported learning and educational research.
Sensors, measurement and data analysis
Projects combining physical measurements, time series, modelling and responsible interpretation of results.
Digital twins and smart systems
Using models, software and data to better understand real objects, processes and environments.
Cultural heritage and scientific interpretation
New technologies and measurement methods supporting the protection, documentation and interpretation of cultural heritage.
Open to collaboration
Do you have an idea that needs science, technology or education?
We work with schools, universities, cultural institutions, science centres, local authorities, companies and civil society organisations. We are open to Horizon Europe, Erasmus+, Digital Europe and regional partnerships where Prizma can contribute real-world pilots, STEM expertise, sensor-based research, educational technology, stakeholder engagement and Western Balkans replication.
