STEAM Innovative Programs Successfully Operating in the First Phase

With the support of the World Bank, within the framework of the I2Q Project GE component, the STEAM extracurricular program is actively implemented in the schools. Currently, the program is operational in 80 schools across Georgia. Notably, Tbilisi 126 Public School and Zugdidi 5 Public School have established hubs to facilitate this program, which has been running in these two schools for a year in an innovative workspace.

Teachers leading these innovative spaces report that senior students exhibit such a strong interest that they quickly master programming, robotics, and various educational kits, including those focused on wind energy, green technologies, a 3D printer, a drone, and other computer equipment. Over the year, students have learned to operate smart devices, engage with Arduino programming kits, and work on renewable energy mechanisms, showing great enthusiasm in various STEAM extracurricular activities.

Students from both schools have created successful projects and participated in competitions, while also sharing their knowledge with younger students and teaching them how to effectively utilize STEAM resources.

Both Tbilisi 126 Public School and Zugdidi 5 Public School have successfully implemented the extracurricular program provided by the I2Q Project and have involved additional pilot schools in various activities and events.

Tbilisi 126 Public School and Zugdidi 5 Public School received essential resources, equipment, and furniture to support the implementation of the STEAM extracurricular program with the support of the World Bank within the framework of the Innovation, Inclusion, and Quality project.
