STEAM festival 2026 "Younger Explorer Club" in Lviv

STEAM festival 2026 "Younger Explorer Club" in Lviv

During Stem Discovery Week, we organized a science stem festival

The mini-festival united 20 science clubs from Lviv. Teacher-mentors together with student-participants gathered together to demonstrate the activities of their clubs. Each Young Inventor's Club presented physical, biological or chemical experiments. The event was attended by 250 students, 40 teachers from Lviv and about 1,300 festival visitors.

Сonducted activities on the creation of climate shelters based on natural resources in schools

I implemented the course scenario Nature-Based Climate Shelters in Schools and conducted activities on creating climate shelters based on natural resources in schools. Its goal is to create green areas in school gardens to increase students' environmental awareness, increase their sensitivity to nature, and teach the principles of sustainable development. This plan aims to increase environmental awareness and strengthen students' connections with nature by ensuring stakeholder participation.

The objective of this learning scenario is to introduce students to nature-based solutions (NBS) using the concept of green infrastructure applied to a practical project. To begin with, the teacher introduces NBS and their advantages and discusses them with students, with a view to local problems that arose during the war. The main issue that students will work on in this scenario is the importance of water, taking care of it, the importance of clean air, and greening the environment. After all, during the war, we faced major problems in the environment, namely water and air pollution.

Together with colleagues and students, we held the event "Professionals Return to School" (during the war). Despite all the challenges - lack of light, Internet connection, and air alarms, we did it! During this event, the father of our student, a graduate of our lyceum, who works in the IT company Global Logic, leads a workshop and a lecture about IT, about its advantages. He talked about an IT solution which will allow configuring the Internet when the electricity is turned off. Their company is also engaged in programming devices for regulating the level of sugar in the human body. This is vital for people with diabetes. Students had the opportunity to program on Arduino. We agreed about cooperation between the IT company and the Lyceum for the future.

Незважаючи на різні обставини, поміж вимиканням електроенергії та повітряними тривогами Годину Коду 2022 у Ліцей імені Івана Пулюя ми провели і до наших ліцеїстів 8 класів приходили ментори із GlobalLogic, п. Андрій Кондратьєв та п. Ірина Мудь, а у інших класах менторили наші вчителі інформатики.

Дякуємо Управління ІТ Львівської міської ради та Управління освіти Львова за цю чудову ініціативу щодо популяризації програмування серед школярів Львова.

Сьогоднішня затяжна повітряна тривога і ракетна атака русні не дозволила провести ще однієї зустрічі із ментором Олекса Возняк, але ми обов'язково безпечно ооганізцємо нашу зустріч, адже вона цьогоріч буде ювілейною( 5 років)

Our Ukrainian Future Classroom Lab

    Our Ukrainian Future Classroom Lab ( STEM laboratory) #TheUkrainianFutureClassroomLab, was created in 2018 and is part of the European Future Classroom Lab network. The equipment was purchased thanks to participation in the EduHack hackathon and the collection of 37 thousand hryvnias on the GoFundEd crowdfunding platform.

Initially, the laboratory was conceived as a stationary one, but over time it became clear that access to the equipment should not be limited to students of only one school.

During the creation of the Ukrainian Future Classroom Lab, as much as I would like to have a classroom with modern mobile furniture (as in the Future Classroom Lab in Brussels), I focused primarily on robotics, VR technologies, and interactive panels with advanced software. This ultimately provided her with good mobility.

In our Ukrainian Future Classroom Lab, students learn programming using robotics kits. We also have Lego WeDo 2.0 and MBot Makeblock constructors, as well as Arduino kits. Robotics is a powerful tool for STEM education that makes learning and exploring complex things fun and accessible. Students work in a team and have the opportunity to feel like young inventors.

Our students conduct research using virtual and augmented reality (VR and AR) technologies (virtual reality glasses and Google Expeditions applications come in handy). These technologies can be used in lessons in both the natural sciences and the humanities. There are many free augmented reality applications that can be downloaded to a smartphone from the Play Market or AppStore, for example Quiver, AR Solar System, Futurio.

V International Lviv Stem Festival during the war in Ukraine

V International Lviv Stem Festival during the war in Ukraine  

28.04.2022

Ukraine, Olha Doskochynska

    This year, Scientix Ambassador Olha Doskochynska organized the V International Lviv Stem Festival for Ukrainian teachers and students during the war in Ukraine. The purpose of this festival is to promote science, technology, mathematics, and art.

    We planned to organize V International Lviv Stem Festival offline and invite colleagues, and Scientix Ambassadors from Slovakia, Lithuania, Poland, Portugal, Spain, Albania, and Israel to Lviv for exchange experiences. But now there is a war in Ukraine and we will use an online format for teachers and an offline format for our ukrainian students.

     During the online seminar, my colleagues and I talked about the implementation of STEM in our countries and shared our ideas and innovations.

    The main part of the festival was a visit to the Museum of Science of the Small Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, which moved to Lviv from Kyiv.

    Since the beginning of the war, we have been organizing offline training for students who have moved from cities where are war.

 

 

 

    Students of my school and students who came from the East of Ukraine during the seminar had the opportunity to conduct research, develop critical thinking, cooperate, develop communication skills.

    As  Scientix Ambassador, my task is to promote STEAM education and share experiences.

    Science and education are always relevant. Education is the force that helps us, Ukrainian win everything, especially now that my country, Ukraine, is at war.

    In this Museum of Science, students have the opportunity to implement ideas, develop projects, and conduct experiments. Here we visited game and interactive exhibitions, which focus on the promotion of technology, science, and innovation.

 

 

      Students have the opportunity to get acquainted with the exhibits in the areas of IT, bio- and modern technologies, physics, robotics, electronics, and Smart Cities. The museum has research laboratories for children and young people, where you can create your own experiment under the supervision of specialists, learn about chemical processes, and have an unforgettable time. Physical phenomena await visitors in a separate hall. Here you can understand how gravity works, look at lenses, and learn more about sound propagation. In other halls, you can build roller coasters, explore human anatomy and get acquainted with the great inventions of mankind. For example, make an architectural arch and feel why such structures hold ancient and majestic buildings.

    During this week, my students and I also explored the planet Mars. Students created their own models of the rocket, as well as the work of the rover. Students explored whether life on Mars is possible and what people need to live.
