«STEAM School»:
How SIBUR Helps Teachers Inspire a New Generation of Engineers
Significant Statistics
The "STEAM School" project is a large-scale SIBUR initiative aimed at the systematic professional
development of teachers in exact and natural sciences. The project's goal is to introduce regional
educators to advanced teaching methods, provide them with innovative tools, and "liven up" the learning
process, so that lessons in physics, mathematics, chemistry, and computer science become an exciting
journey into the world of science and technology for schoolchildren.
The intensive courses are led by teachers and teaching guidance counsellors from innovative schools and
educational centres in Moscow and St. Petersburg. They not only discuss innovative methods and
techniques but also share recommendations and their own solutions for organising the educational
process. Participants also receive sets of teaching materials to help them conduct their own practical
classes.
Our Mission
Our Mission is to systematically update natural science education in the regions, equipping educators with advanced methodologies and creating a professional environment for them that becomes a source of inspiration for schoolchildren.
Strategic Objectives:
Introducing teachers to modern teaching methodologies and practical skills in STEAM education (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, Mathematics).
Forming an environment for the exchange of experience, best practices, and innovative solutions among teachers from different cities.
Integrating into school practice methodologies that develop children's critical thinking, creativity, and interest in engineering professions.
The project is implemented through a series of intensive educational events combining theory, practice, and live interaction:
Lecture Module — A series of lectures by renowned Russian teachers, designed to introduce attendees to advanced educational methodologies and develop effective communication with colleagues, students, and oneself.
Exhibition Session — The programme includes an exhibition space showcasing materials, tutorials, and models related to the topics covered.
Subject-Specific Sessions — Master classes and training exercises in mathematics, physics, engineering, and chemistry.
SIBUR's Contribution
Conduit to the Best Expertise
The company systematically engages leading national experts and teachers, whose experience might otherwise remain inaccessible to educators from regional cities. The project flexibly adapts, successfully operating in both face-to-face and remote formats.
Creator of a Professional Environment
STEAM School is not just a course; it is a platform for networking. The project creates a unique space where teachers from different schools and cities can communicate, share their developments, and form a community of like-minded professionals.
Investment in the Foundation of the Future
By supporting and inspiring teachers—the key conduits of knowledge for children—SIBUR makes a direct contribution to the quality of natural science education in the regions. This is a long-term investment in shaping the country's future human resource and technological potential.
"STEAM School" is SIBUR's strategic contribution to the development of education in our country. By strengthening the professional level of educators, the company helps ensure that every schoolchild, regardless of location, can receive modern knowledge and inspiration to choose an interesting and promising path in the world of science and technology.
