STEAM Innovative Space Opened at Sachkhere Public School N1

A STEAM innovation space has been inaugurated at Akaki Tsereteli Sachkhere Public School N1. The opening was led by Jeffrey Nowak, an international expert from IBF Expertise SA, alongside the General Education component lead of the I2Q project.

This innovative space is equipped with essential furniture and educational resources to support the STEAM extracurricular program. It includes sets for learning programming, robotics, and science, as well as resources focused on wind and green energy. Additionally, the space features a 3D printer, a drone, and various computer equipment. Like similar facilities in other schools, it has quickly become a popular gathering place for students at Sachkhere Public School N1.

“The STEAM innovation space has significantly enhanced our students’ interest in science subjects, encouraged teamwork, and fostered critical thinking, problem-solving skills, and creativity. The children often lose track of time here. They discover their talents and intelligence, teach one another, share experiences, and become inventors,” stated the head of the STEAM innovation space.

“Through STEAM, children’s curiosity is satisfied, leading them to make discoveries and explore their creativity. STEAM frequently requires imaginative solutions since problem-solving is a core aspect. Children learn to think outside the box, to dream big, and to consider how they can make the world better place with their inventions,” – Professor Jeffrey Nowak addressed the students.

The event was attended by resource center officials, teachers from regional schools, and parents.

 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.
