Petnica's young talents payed a visit to our HQ
Last Friday our headquarters were buzzing with high-schoolers from Petnica, the biggest Science Center
in Southern Europe.
In the late sunny Friday afternoon, the porch in front of our HQ suddendly filled up with a huge bunch of
youngsters. Like in some zombie apocalipse movie, they suddenly began walking towards the entrance.
I would have called the police and lock the doors immediately, if I didn't already knew that those were
actually Petnica's most talented high-schoolers, paying a visit to our HQ, all organized by Marko Brežulj,
head of Department of Applied Physics and Electronics (who's also a Microsoft employee).
Crowd of over 30 people filled the restaurant in a blink of an eye. We never had so many visitors since
we moved in, so we didn't have a clue how to keep things in order. Fortunately, everything went perfect.
We offered orange juices and water for refreshments, welcoming them for the first time. Many of them
don't live in Belgrade, and they got here just to visit us. After all, this opportunity doesn't arrive very often.
The tour we took them on was thorough. We showed them each and every production process, carefully
and slowly explaining each machine and the purpose of each tool. You could see in their eyes how
interesting all of it was for them. When we opened the lid of a pick-and-place machine you could see ten
kids putting their heads inside in the same time, curiously eyeing the top-notch technology.
I was also in Petnica when I was their age, although at the Department of Astrophysics, so I went back in
my mind, remembering how excited I was when we payed a visit to local Astronomical Observatory.
My heart was pounding all the way, and I felt so certain that I will one day work there, after I graduate
astrophysics. Fortunately, my other passion were microcontrollers, and I ended up in the best company
in the world - MikroElektronika.
As we moved from production to RnD section of the building, the excitement was booming up. They had a
chance to take a look at our still unreleased projects, like Gesture click, Buggy and other I still can't talk
about. Dragan from our Project Department, showed them a couple of demos. After five minutes we had
to pull them out of his office, one by one, since they didn't want to leave.
After almost two hours touring the building, we ended up on our terrace, chatting about their future plans,
answering interesting questions and exchanging E-mails. Of course, everybody wanted to take a picture
and share on Facebook and Twitter. I sincerely hope someday, not to long from now, couple of those
young people will become our employees, or at least establish a strong relationship to MikroElektronika
when they become skillful programers in successful companies. According to what they told me, a lot of
interesting projects will be popping out this year all done with MikroElektronika tools.
Yours sincerely,
Aleksandar Nikolic
