STEAM exhibition at Karazin "Touch Science!"

STEAM Exhibition "Touch Science": Opening New Opportunities for Children of Kharkiv Region

Organizer:

Charitable Organization "Kharkiv Karazin University Foundation"

Our mission:

Kharkiv Karazin University Foundation works to preserve the intellectual potential of Kharkiv region and Ukraine and support education during challenging times. Together with the university and partners, we implement educational and scientific initiatives that help students continue learning despite difficulties.

Why is this important?

War has changed the lives of children in Kharkiv region. Destroyed schools, forced distance learning and anxiety have led to significant educational losses. Almost 40% of students in the region have knowledge gaps.

The STEAM exhibition is a chance to restore children's interest in science and learning through exciting interactive experience.

What will the exhibition look like?

The final result will be an interactive exhibition with scientific exhibits, workshops and practical experiments dedicated to alternative energy sources. The exhibition will take place in the safe spaces of Karazin University. Here children will be able to:

• Personally control exhibits and explore their operation.
• Conduct physics experiments.
• Attend workshops on engineering and art.
• Interact with installations demonstrating laws of nature and technology.

What will we do together?

• Create an interactive exhibition with exhibits demonstrating scientific laws, technology, art and engineering.
• Conduct workshops and experiments where children can independently test science in action.
• Give students, especially those who lost access to quality education, the opportunity to catch up through play, research and teamwork.

What impact will this have?

• Restoring interest in learning: through play, research and active participation, children will see that science can be exciting.
• Developing future skills: critical thinking, teamwork and research approach.
• Supporting families and communities: the event will become a safe and interesting space for children's development and communication with parents.

Join our initiative – together we will restore learning opportunities for children of Kharkiv region!
