STEAM innovative space opened at Ditsi Village Public School
A new STEAM innovative space has been launched at Ditsi Village Public School in Gori Municipality. The lead of the general education component of the I2Q Project visited the innovative space on June 6, 2025, to officially open it alongside the students. The head of the Gori Educational Resource Center and several teachers also attended the event.
During the opening ceremony, the lead of the general education component congratulated the students and emphasized the significance of STEAM subjects. She provided detailed information about the upcoming regional and national conference for the national STEAM project competition, “Future Georgia,” where students from 200 pilot schools within the I2Q Project will have the opportunity to showcase their projects to a wider audience. She explained the evaluation criteria for the national competition, shared insights on resource usage, and discussed the planning process while addressing the students’ questions. “Participating in this large project will offer you invaluable experience and can significantly impact your future. Learning by doing is truly enjoyable. Step by step, you will master all the equipment, and then you can explore how to use them to their fullest potential. Be bold, be creative, collaborate, and present your project,” she encouraged the students.
The school principal expressed enthusiasm about the new space, stating, “Students enjoy being in this room, including the younger ones. Starting in September, we plan to invite students from regional schools to our STEAM innovative space to share their experiences. Our school will become a center that unites students interested in this field.”
Students from Ditsi Village School showcased innovative projects they created and demonstrated how to utilize the educational resources.
The school has been equipped with the necessary resources, equipment, and furniture to implement the STEAM extracurricular program with the support of the World Bank, as part of the Innovation, Inclusion, and Quality – Georgia (I2Q) project. Similar spaces will be established in 13 schools across different regions of Georgia.
