The long‑awaited summer break is finally here and it is as useful as it is fun for Tobolsk’s school students. On Monday, the city saw SIBUR launch its Science Sessions here again, bringing together 130 school children aged 9 to 12. The week‑long educational project is designed to introduce the students to the fundamentals of engineering and modeling.

The program known as the Engineering Workshop features a meld of both theoretical and hands‑on classes focusing on designing various types of devices: functional models of aircraft, cars, Mars rovers, and even robots. Prior to the start of the course, each participant was issued a kit of consumables and tools. The students will be able to style their completed builds the way they see fit, and those who wish so will be offered to enroll their handcrafted models in a car race.

In addition, the students will explore the history behind the first automobiles, aircraft, space rockets, and modern watercraft. A separate session will be dedicated to building robots

Vladimir Sorokin, the Science Session’s instructor:
“From the very first class it was obvious that the students really love this project. We’ve already delved into the history of the automobile, while doing a refresher of the course on the history of the Ancient World the students just had completed at school. But the most exciting, practical, part is still ahead. They’ll be learning to assemble various devices using tools and testing their performance in different ways, while recalling the course on the basic laws of physics.”

This edutainment session’s curriculum was developed by Ship Puz, Moscow's top experts in supplemental education. The primary goal of the engineering workshop is to teach the students such relevant skills as logical thinking, technical acuity, etc.

Sofia Kim, a participant of the Science Session:
“I’m very happy I got to take part in the Engineering Workshop! I built my own mini‑jeep, and I really liked the experiment with rubber‑bands and the uphill climb. I painted my car in my favorite pink. When I grow up, I’ll buy myself a real one just like it.”

The program benefits teachers, too. As the workshop’s instructors, they received specialized training that introduced them to new pioneering methods of teaching experimental classes ahead of the program’s launch.

It is noteworthy that the educational Science Session project has been going on for ten years as part of SIBUR's Formula for Good Deeds social investment program.

Alexey Vakulik, Chief Specialist for Government Relations and Social and Economic Projects at Zapsibneftekhim:
"Projects such as the Science Sessions are not just an interesting way of imparting new knowledge in the form of a game. This is a program that teaches children to analyze information, read and understand design schematics and hand-build models of various devices using improvised tools. And although not everyone might end up becoming an engineer, the ability to think like one is very much sought-after and is a relevant skill these day, especially in a company such as ours."

Background:

The Formula for Good Deeds, SIBUR's social investment program, was launched on February 1, 2016 in all key cities where the company operates. It is being implemented across seven focus areas covering all essential social sector domains: urban development, education and science, sports and healthy living, environmental protection, culture, inclusion, and volunteering.
