The Youth Festival of Technologies and Education “TECHNOdvizh” ended in Derzhavin University. This is an open festival of science, technology, humor and creativity, which aims to popularize technological education among young people of Tambov, Lipetsk, Kursk, Belgorod and other regions.
For three days, the participants - schoolchildren, students of universities and colleges from Tambov, Lipetsk, Kursk, Penza, Saratov and other cities - created their projects in the field of technological creativity, creative industries and social design. The children interacted with scientists, talented developers, successful businessmen and idea generators.
At the end of the festival, the participants defended their projects in front of the expert community - representatives of government authorities, businesses, and specialists in relevant fields. The projects included the development of online tourism, increasing digital literacy, an application to motivate schoolchildren to pass exams successfully, increasing the availability of literature, etc.
- Our project is built around a problem. It is related to the low interest of citizens in the history of Tambov. The reason is the lack of accessible and interesting formats for presenting information,” says Anna Zakharova, a second-year student of Derzhavin University. - We conducted a survey which showed that 92% of people would like to learn the history of Tambov in a new format. The idea of our group is to create a unique location in the city with its own design and thematic events. We will continue the work we started at the Tekhnodvizh festival. We plan to finalize the project and apply for the Rosmolodezh.Grants competition.
The festival is realized with grant support from the Federal Agency for Youth Affairs (Rosmolodezh).
