The idea behind the circuit board in unicorn shape
At SiteGround, we believe in nurturing the curiosity and creativity of future generations through engaging, hands-on experiences. One of the most fulfilling aspects of our community involvement is our collaboration with Uni for Kids: scientists, inventors, engineers, educators and entrepreneurs, inspiring young people to discover and develop their talents in science, art and the arts. With their help we inspire young learners across the country to ignite their passion for technology and innovation.
Our friends from Uni for Kids designed circuit boards shaped like the SiteGround unicorn and it has inspired more than 300 kids (so far) across the country for STEM.
This kid’s workshop was so successful, we decided to challenge the grown-ups as well! We started with our own team during our amazing 2024 SiteGround Team Festival! From there the idea grew into turning them into Christmas tree decoration – and some of our lucky partners got one hand-made especially for them from SiteGround for Holidays 2024!
Supporting Sofia Science Festival
Continuing our mission to spark an early interest in STEM, we proudly supported an Electronics Workshop at the Sofia Science Festival on May 11 and 12 at Sofia Tech Park. This workshop was part of the “Engineers in Action” event and offered kids from 1st to 12th grade a chance to build their own circuit boards shaped like the SiteGround unicorn. It was an incredible opportunity for young minds to dive into the world of electronics in a playful, interactive way.
Regional Technology Forum “Engineers in Action” in Varna & Plovdiv
Our involvement with Uni for Kids extends to supporting events like the Varna & Plovdiv Regional Technology Forum “Engineers in Action”. This forum allows hundreds of kids a day filled with:
Robotics and 3D modeling competitions for students, featuring challenges such as line-following and track navigation.
A youth tech expo showcasing scientific and technological projects by students.
Hands-on workshops in electronics, 3D modeling, and automation.
A career fair with presentations by partner companies, offering students insight into real-world tech career paths.
One of the standout attractions was of course our Electronics Workshop, where kids can once again build their own SiteGround unicorn circuit boards—a fun challenge that taps into their creativity and problem-solving skills.
Hosting Teach for Bulgaria: A Special Visit to Our Office
On June 4, we had the pleasure of welcoming 15 third-grade students from the local school in Dinkata Village, Pazardzhik, for a unique SiteGround Day. This event, hosted in partnership with Teach for Bulgaria, was designed to inspire these bright 9-year-olds with a blend of fun and educational activities.
The highlight of the day was our Unicorn Workshop, where the children built their very own unicorn circuit boards. This hands-on activity not only introduced them to basic electronics but also gave them the joy of creating something tangible. The excitement in the room was palpable, punctuated by bursts of laughter as the children brought their creations to life.
Adding to the experience, SiteGround team members Yasen Kiprov and Sophia Lasheva shared inspiring stories about how childhood dreams, combined with dedication and hard work, can become reality. Their talks sparked conversations and encouraged the students to envision a future where they could pursue their passions fearlessly.
Looking Ahead
At SiteGround, we are more than just a tech company; we are active participants in shaping the future by fostering a love for learning and innovation in young minds. These initiatives with Uni for Kids are just one way we contribute to our community, empowering the next generation of tech enthusiasts to dream big and achieve more.
Join us in supporting and celebrating the future tech leaders. Let’s continue to inspire and be inspired!
