On 20 September, as part of the thematic Tula Region Week, the region’s stand at the National Centre RUSSIA hosted workshops by educational institutions.

The Institute for Advanced Training and Professional Development of Education Workers offered guests a creative task in pen writing using copies of pre-revolutionary copybooks, as well as an introduction to Leo Tolstoy’s alphabet and educational tools of past eras. Visitors created postcards in an old-style design.

The Centre for Gifted Children "Constellation" presented a series of workshops on various high-tech equipment, including the movement of automotive platforms powered by solar panels, an electrolyser, and a hydrogen fuel cell.

Young talents introduced visitors to the study of factors influencing the power generated by renewable energy sources — wind turbines, LED modules, and music-light boards.

Guests of the stand observed the assembly of small artificial satellites for space exploration, their launch into orbit, mastered the operation of an electronic telescope, and tried themselves as satellite designers.

Students and teachers of the Bogoroditsk Polytechnic College held a workshop on robotics, creating a robot in a virtual environment.

Teachers of the Tula College of Social Technologies demonstrated the art of photo sessions, instant printing of photographs, and the promotion of significant places and events of the region. Visitors received commemorative magnets.

"Tula is Russia’s workshop. The research, professional, and creative skills of the young people vividly demonstrate both the talents and the competences of the region’s youth," emphasised Oksana Ostashko, Minister of Education of the Tula Region.
