The event
was organized by Uzatom Agency and Rosatom State Corporation. This year, the
festival is held in a two-day format.
The
participants of the first day were students of the Muhammad al-Khorezmi
specialized school, as well as the UK School of Tashkent.
A rich
program with scientific experiments, interactive classes and demonstrations of
modern technologies has been prepared for schoolchildren. The children saw
spectacular chemical and physical experiments, got acquainted with the
principles of operation of a nuclear power plant and learned how energy is
produced.
The main
event of the day was the interactive show "Fantastic Laboratory",
during which complex scientific processes were explained in an accessible and
fascinating way.
During the
festival, participants modeled energy production processes, studied reactor
design and learned how nuclear technologies are used in everyday life and
medicine.
"I
didn't know before that nuclear energy is used in many fields. I was
particularly interested in its use in medicine and disease prevention. Despite
the fact that I am studying IT, after the festival I became interested in
physics and the nuclear industry," said festival participant Mukhammadamin
Achilov.
Student
Sabina Tursunova noted that the festival made a vivid impression on her.:
"I
particularly enjoyed chemical reactions and scientific experiments. It was
interesting to watch science literally come to life before our eyes. We have
learned a lot about nuclear power and its environmental advantages over
traditional thermal power plants."
The
festival is held within the framework of the personnel training program for the
nuclear industry of Uzbekistan and is aimed at developing the interest of young
people in engineering and technical specialties, as well as early career
guidance for schoolchildren and students.
According
to Sabokhat Rakhimova, a teacher at a specialized school, the festival has
become an important educational platform for students.:
"Information
about atomic energy has completely changed the way our students think about
this field. The guys participated in the discussions with great interest and
shared their impressions."
Today, the
Science and Atom Festival has already become one of the key platforms for
popularizing science among young people. Interest in the project continues to
grow, and with it the number of participants who want to get acquainted with
modern technologies and scientific achievements is increasing.
