STEAM Innovation Space Launched at Baghdati Second Public School

The STEAM innovation space at Baghdati Second Public School was officially opened at the end of May. International Expert at IBF Expertise SA, Jeffrey Nowak, and the I2Q Project General Education Component lead attended the event. Guests included representatives from the local government, the educational resource center, principals of regional schools, and parents.

During the opening, students showcased their innovative projects and demonstrated their use of educational resources. They expressed how the STEAM innovation space has helped them deepen their knowledge and build relationships. Here, students compete using the robots they have designed, enthusiastically engaging in a creative educational process that follows the learning-by-doing methodology.

The school actively collaborates with the Dimi village school, and students from Dimi frequently visit the STEAM innovation space at Baghdati Second Public School.

Professor Jeffrey Nowak congratulated the students on the opening and emphasized the importance of STEAM education, noting that the modern world is unbelievable without innovations. He encouraged the students to utilize all the resources in the space, explore, conduct experiments, and develop innovative solutions. “Share your knowledge with others. STEAM impacts almost every aspect of our lives. Technologies are required everywhere and in everything, and it is precisely these technologies that will enable you to unlock opportunities, transform your surroundings with your inventions, and make the world aware of your talent,” he advised.

The international expert also informed the students about the regional and national conference for theFuture GeorgiaSTEAM project competition, where students from 200 schools participating in the I2Q project will have the opportunity to present their projects to a wider audience.

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.
