Biysk science festival sparks curiosity with robotics and microscopy for 150 students

From robot battles to muscle research, students traded textbooks for real-world experiments. One teen's discovery could change how we study human movement.

The image shows a young boy wearing a bag and holding a mobile phone in his hand, surrounded by a group of people standing on the floor. On the table in front of him are various electronic devices, a toy robot, a headset, a camera, and other objects. In the background, there are boards with text on them, a pillar, and a roof with ceiling lights. This scene is likely from the Dubai International Toy Fair 2019, where the boy is learning about robotics.

Biysk science festival sparks curiosity with robotics and microscopy for 150 students

A science festival in Biysk brought together over 150 schoolchildren for hands-on learning experiences. The event, hosted by the local branch of Altai State Pedagogical University, featured workshops across multiple disciplines. Students explored robotics, microscopy, and even uncovered new insights into human muscles. The festival took place at the Biysk campus, offering sessions in natural sciences, humanities, and technology. One highlight was the Quantorium tech park, where students engaged in robot battles using RoboMaster kits. These activities aimed to sharpen logical thinking and problem-solving skills.

At a scientific microscopy workshop, participants examined insects with portable microscopes. Larisa Solodyankina, a student with broad academic interests, found the session particularly useful. Meanwhile, Olga Shubina's workshop taught pupils to measure blood pressure, grip strength, and muscle performance using neurotechnologies. Among the discoveries, 11th-grader Artem Shmarov presented new findings about muscle function. Ninth-grader Arina Fyodorovich, previously unfamiliar with robotics, left the festival with a fresh interest in the field. Yelena Bavykina, deputy director of the university branch, noted that the event's popularity has grown as more students embrace science.

The festival provided practical experiences rarely found in standard school lessons. Students gained exposure to advanced tools and research methods, from robotics to medical diagnostics. Organisers plan to continue expanding the event as interest in science among young learners increases.
