Last Saturday, the Main Academic Building of Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University was once again filled with ringing voices and inquisitive glances. The University held a big celebration for future applicants and their parents, which combined three key events at once: Open Day of Children's Education, Open Day of Preparatory Courses, and the exciting Polytech Quest.
This day became a real journey into the world of science and technology for guests of all ages. Schoolchildren were able to touch the future, and their parents were able to get answers to all questions about additional education and preparation for admission to the largest engineering university in Russia.
From Robots to Drones: The Future Starts Here
The exhibition of clubs and master classes became the center of attraction for future engineers. Children from 5th to 11th grade were able to immerse themselves in the world of additive technologies. They learned how to print on 3D printers, understood the principles of drones and got acquainted with robots under the guidance of experienced mentors and current students.
The key university departments working with schoolchildren presented their programs: the Center for Work with Applicants, the Center for Work with Educational Organizations, the House of Scientists in Lesnoy, the Creative Studio, the Sports Complex, preparatory courses for the Engineering and Construction Institute, and the Institute of Secondary Vocational Education. The Academy of Informatics for Schoolchildren also introduced future graduates to its programs and organized an exciting quest. The SPbPU History Museum opened its exposition for the children, and the Natural Sciences Lyceum told about admission for graduates from the 9th grade. In addition to the university's educational programs, the guests learned about the opportunities to participate in Olympiads, competitions, and shifts at the Sirius Educational Center.
An Open Day of the Polytechnic preparatory courses was held especially for high school students and their parents. Guests had a unique opportunity to personally communicate with teachers and organizers, ask all questions about preparing for the Unified State Exam, Basic State Exam and entrance examinations, learn about the intricacies of admission and immediately enroll in courses.
An intellectual adventure in the heart of campus
The Polytechnic Quest for schoolchildren from the Academy of Informatics was a bright end to the day. The teams went on an intellectual walk around the Polytechnic Park. They had to find checkpoints and complete tasks that required not only logic and erudition, but also the ability to work in a team.
Traditionally, at the very beginning of the academic year, we opened the doors of the university to schoolchildren of different ages. Attracting talent is the most important vector of development of engineering education and Polytechnic is always at the forefront. Last Saturday clearly showed that the interest of schoolchildren and their parents in this area is growing exponentially. We tried to show everyone that we are waiting for them within our walls today, it is not necessary to wait for graduation, – noted the head of the Directorate of Pre-University Education and Talent Attraction Nikolay Snegirev.
The next meetings with Polytechnic are just around the corner. The University is already preparing new events for everyone who is passionate about science and technology.
