Summary/Abstract: In the Czech Republic 50% of population die on cerebro- and cardiovascular diseases (CVD), e.g. stroke and heart attack. Health care system is able to avert a lot of deaths if people know how to help in case of symptoms of these diseases. Campaigns focused on adults are not effective (Mikulik 2011), thus a lot of experts in the world and in homeland suggest education of children at school. That is the only systematic way how to give the most important information about saving life. The HOBIT Project (One Class of Biology for Saving Life) tries to teach children in one class how to respond the stroke and heart attack symptoms and how to save life. The education is led by the way of multimedia program. For testing of pupils‘ knowledge the simulation tests are used. The result of the educational scheme is that the HOBIT Project had a significant impact on short-term knowledge of pupils. But the one class of this topic is not enough for long-term keeping of the knowledge. Since February 2017, work with additional educational materials has been added to the teaching scheme to keep the sustainable level of knowledge between two e-learning.
