Online Science Festival

SWPSIn cooperation with Virginia Tech, on 11 November 2023, teachers and students of the Department of Pedagogy and Psychology of Social Systems Management had the opportunity to take part in the Online Science Festival.

The festival was organized by the Center for Educational Networks and Impacts to promote science among children and adolescents.

This year’s Festival focuses on the use of modern technologies (robotics, artificial intelligence, renewable energy) to support the well-being of society. The organizers were inspired by the idea that science should not work on abstract tasks, but on solving key problems of environmental protection, providing citizens with cheap resources, etc. Such ideas about the interaction between science and society are extremely important in the context of Ukraine’s post-war recovery and have inspired the department’s scientists to create new programs and educational events.
