This autumn, city science festivals for students in grades 7–11 will be held at Moscow schools as part of the “In the Center of Science” project. Schoolchildren will communicate with young scientists and employees of leading Russian universities and companies, and will also try to conduct research under the guidance of experienced mentors. This was reported by Anastasia Rakova, Deputy Mayor of Moscow for Social Development.
“Moscow education opens up endless horizons of opportunities for Moscow schoolchildren, allowing them to find themselves and discover their talents at a young age. This academic year, schools will host 12 scientific festivals, which will become a powerful catalyst for passion for science and research. The prepared programs cover four key areas: engineering, natural science, social science and humanitarian science, and information technology,” noted Anastasia Rakova.
According to her, during the festivals, schoolchildren will take part in popular science lectures, master classes and discussions. This will create a unique atmosphere for exchanging knowledge and ideas. Games and competitions will add dynamism and interest, attracting more than four thousand participants.
Moscow education is not only an educational process, but also an inspiration for future scientists, researchers and innovators. Such events allow students to confidently step into the world of science and new achievements, added Anastasia Rakova.
Schoolchildren interested in engineering will take part in lectures on radiation, the connection between music and mathematics, preparing astronauts for flight, and will be able to try their hand at conducting physical experiments, creating complex electrical circuits, and working with large volumes of data. Those who chose the natural sciences will attend lectures on chemistry, biology, and ecology, and will also take part in master classes on the basics of perfumery.
Participants in the social and humanitarian track will immerse themselves in linguistics, journalism, literature, economics and attend classes on methods of sociological research, features of translating foreign films. Schoolchildren will discuss the phenomenon of quality journalism with their mentors, and participation in workshops will help them acquire skills in writing original texts.
Young programmers will attend lectures on big data in a metropolis, reliable encryption of information and metrics for assessing the quality of model performance. For schoolchildren interested in digital technologies, there will be a career guidance class and lectures from experts. The knowledge gained can be applied in master classes on creating a computer game and a voice assistant, practical training in robotics and financial security.
The festivals will last until December. To participate, you need to choose a convenient venue and date, and also register on the website of the project “In the Center of Science”. Besides, on the page on the social network VKontakte An online broadcast of the main lectures will be available.
