A large-scale Festival of Masterclasses in Cognitive and Research Activities, "We Are the Future of N-K", took place in Nizhnekamsk. The event was organised by the Municipal Autonomous Pre-School Educational Institution "Kindergarten of General Developmental Type No. 45". The project was implemented with grant support from SIBUR's "Formula for Good Deeds" social investment programme.

The festival became a platform for sharing experience and showcasing scientific discoveries for children of different ages. The uniqueness of the event lay in the fact that the roles of laboratory assistants and experiment leaders were taken on by the kindergarten pupils, school students and secondary vocational education students themselves.

During the festival, participants were able to see and take part in masterclasses with their own eyes. The programme covered key areas of the natural sciences:

  • Chemistry: experiments with water, air and magnets

  • Biology: studying tissue and water microflora

  • Physics and mechanics: launching a water mill, electronic construction kits, experiments with static electricity

  • Engineering: assembling robots and the basics of programming

The event brought together representatives of more than 100 people from the city's educational institutions, including pupils from kindergartens No. 49, 69, 53, 8, students from School No. 7, Lyceum No. 35, and the Children's Ecological and Biological Centre. The total number of festival participants exceeded 150 people. Ten volunteers also helped organise the event.

The implementation of the "We Are the Future of N-K" project has not only allowed the dissemination of best pedagogical practices in the field of cognitive and research activities, but has also created sustainable connections between kindergartens, schools and the supplementary education community.
