The magic of winter holidays at Zaporizhia Polytechnic University
On December 20, the Zaporizhzhia Polytechnic National University hosted a festival for schoolchildren from Zaporizhzhia called “The Magic of Winter Holidays at Zaporizhzhia Polytechnic”. It brought together students from Zaporizhzhia schools, their parents, guests, students, teachers and partners in a common space of joy, creativity and inspiration.
Over 250 participants became part of a real winter event. The festival was packed with events: there were numerous locations with master classes, game and STEM activities, intellectual zones, culinary experiments and sweet laboratories. Participants wrote letters to Saint Nicholas, enthusiastically tested robotic sleds, learned about business magic, immersed themselves in augmented reality and discovered the possibilities of artificial intelligence.
Everyone found something interesting for themselves: someone discovered new talents, someone showed ingenuity and imagination, children confidently coped with technical tasks, and adults returned to carefree childhood, at least for a moment, sincerely rejoicing with the children. Singing, dancing, games, quizzes, sports competitions, as well as enjoying delicious cocoa and cookies created a unique atmosphere of the holiday. The unforgettable magic of this day will forever remain in the memories of all those present!
We thank our partners and sponsors who helped organize the holiday: "Single Water Delivery", "Silpo" Supermarket Chain, UN Children's Fund - UNICEF, Chain of Toy and Children's Goods Stores "Antoshka", Kommunarsky District Center for Youth and Schoolchildren, Center for Scientific and Technical Creativity of Youth "Polit", Zaporizhia Regional Center for Scientific and Technical Creativity of Schoolchildren "Grani" and Zaporizhia Professional College of Hotel and Restaurant Business.

The students immersed themselves in the world of modern technologies, jurisprudence, financial literacy and political science. They studied the basics of 3D modeling, technical design, legal culture, working with documents and mechanisms of the functioning of society, and also gained practical skills in creating models, analyzing legal situations, financial planning, working with software tools, and developing critical and engineering thinking.
All this formed in them a set of skills — from technical and creative to communication and management — necessary for a confident start in education, professional growth, and the implementation of their own ideas.
The leaders of the groups and the director of the Children's and Youth Scientific University, Olena Nazarova, congratulated the students on the successful completion of their studies in the clubs and presented them with personalized certificates.
We are sincerely grateful to the leaders of the circles: Assistant Professor of the Department of Machine Parts and Lifting and Transport Mechanisms Dmytro Kozak, Senior Lecturer of the Department of Metal-Cutting Machine Tools and Tools Serhiy Tanchenko, Assistant Professor of the Department of Electrical Machines Svitlana Lapkina, Associate Professor of the Department of Accounting and Finance Victoria Babenko-Levada, Senior Lecturer of the Department of Integrated Welding Technologies and Structural Modeling Marianna Skorobogatia, Senior Lecturer of the Department of Integrated Welding Technologies and Structural Modeling Svitlana Bovkun, Associate Professor of the Department of Mechanical Engineering Technologies Dmytro Stepanov, Associate Professor of the Department of Political Science and General Legal Disciplines Vladyslav Volobuyev and Associate Professor of the Department of Criminal, Civil and International Law Olga Shiyan for their initiative, professional knowledge, creative approach and friendly atmosphere in the classes!
