The new season of the "ATOM Children's Academy" was officially launched at the RUSSIA EXPO

A solemn ceremony of launching the new season of the "ATOM Children's Academy" project took place in the ATOM Pavilion. Schoolchildren aged 10-12 are expected to attend free scientific and educational classes in chemistry, physics, biology, geography and mathematics. The children will conduct research and experiments, as well as participate in thematic competitive activities.

"We created our project in close cooperation with our colleagues from the federal center for supplementary education, who are here today. "ATOM Children's Academy" is a complex of scientific and educational classes in the subjects of the natural science cycle: mathematics, geography, biology, chemistry, physics. For us, the "ATOM Children's Academy" is an opportunity to develop children's interest in studying science, to let them immerse themselves in the world of natural science disciplines, and to develop their curiosity through research activities in our Pavilion. We want to show that science is not boring," said Suren Katurkin, manager of educational projects and programs of the "ATOM Children's Academy".

Throughout April, a series of free scientific and educational classes in chemistry, physics, biology, geography and mathematics will be held for the project participants. The classes will be held in cycles for the chosen discipline: that means that by registering, a schoolchild sends an application for participation not in one, but in all eight lessons in the subject.

Classes will begin on April 2 and end on April 27. There will be eight classes in each subject - two per week. Classes will meet every day Tuesday through Saturday for four consecutive weeks. On Sundays, the academy students will have thematic competitive activities: laboratory experiments speed contests, science quizzes, board games and much more. On April 28, at the closing ceremony, the project participants who have completed the full course in the chosen subject will be awarded.
