Description
Elixir to Schools started 10 years ago as a project aimed at improving physics education in the Czech Republic. Five years later it became an independent non-profit organisation. Nowadays it organizes more than 50 regional centres in the whole country for teachers of mainly physics and computer science but also from primary schools and kindergartens. Currently, over 3,000 teachers are involved in Elixir to Schools. The paper will describe support provided to leaders of the centres, annual conferences of Elixir and specific experience from the project as well as teachers' feedback gathered through the annual evaluation.
