News Article: "Quantorium in Nizhny Novgorod Thrives Amidst Challenges"
In the heart of Nizhny Novgorod, the children's technopark "Quantorium" continues to be a beacon of innovation and learning, despite the challenges posed by the ongoing pandemic. The technopark, a partnership between GAZ Group, industrial enterprises, and three leading universities - Lobachevsky University, NGTU named after R.E. Alekseev, and Minin University - has shown resilience and adaptability in the face of adversity.
Svetlana Nepokorova, the director of "Quantorium," has announced that the technopark will be offering online courses in the future. This decision comes as a response to the pandemic, which has necessitated a shift towards remote learning. Despite the challenges, the technopark has managed to maintain a vibrant academic year, filled with exciting events.
Last week, over 70 sets of fasteners for protective medical shields were sent to hospitals in Nizhny Novgorod and the region. This initiative was part of a larger movement called "Makers against COVID," in which the employees of "Quantorium" joined forces to produce essential equipment using 3D printers. A heartfelt thank-you note was received from the doctors at Hospital No. 33 for the protective medical shields produced by "Quantorium."
The technopark's students have continued to participate in various competitions and olympiads during the pandemic, winning several awards. One student even won an online competition in nanotechnology and participated in the regional track of the national technological contest "Big Challenges." The NTI Olympiad, a challenging team-based competition, saw the technopark taking second and third place, and several personal victories.
The partnership between "Quantorium," universities, and industrial enterprises is growing. Universities and manufacturers participate in such projects because they see the prospective students and employees from "Quantorium" as motivated individuals who will study and work with them, not elsewhere. The technopark's students have also become leaders in federal-level contests, with a chance to get into the "Sirius" educational center.
The technopark's work has increased during the adaptation to new conditions, with 24/7 operation to maintain contact with children and parents. The equipment situation in classrooms is already well-solved everywhere. The technopark does not have its own educational platform, but teachers have combined courses offered there with the park's own educational programs.
The Nizhny Novgorod Institute of Education Development conducts courses for educators, and the technopark collaborates with them. The technopark's employees, along with their colleagues from GAZ and those from the mobile "Quantoriums," participate in "growth points" sessions to learn about new trends in education and methodologies.
However, the Nizhny Novgorod region has a demand for additional education that is not fully met, even with mobile "Quantoriums" in place. Teachers from rural schools may be hesitant to use new technologies in education, but "Quantorium" provides understanding and help. The technopark plans to apply the skills gained during remote learning in their educational program, including opportunities for some classes to be conducted using online technologies.
In conclusion, the "Quantorium" in Nizhny Novgorod continues to thrive amidst the challenges posed by the pandemic. The technopark's resilience, adaptability, and commitment to innovation and learning make it a shining example of what can be achieved even in difficult times.
