Festival of STEM projects of the Zaporizhia Polytechnic National University
On April 30, the STEM Projects Festival took place – an event that united those who are already creating the future today.
The festival became a space where innovations are born and ideas are transformed into real solutions. Students presented projects that combine engineering, science, technology and creativity: from robotic systems and environmental solutions to models that explain complex processes simply and clearly. Each performance is the result of the work of an entire team, a story of search, mistakes, discoveries and faith in one’s own strengths.
The event was held within the framework of the All-Ukrainian STEM Week and became an example of effective interaction between school and university. Interactives and master classes from Zaporizhia Polytechnic teachers allowed participants not only to present their ideas, but also to gain new practical experience.
We thank our partners for supporting the Zaporizhia Polytechnic initiative and gifts for talented participants of the Festival: Andriy Adamchuk and Oleksandra Novoselova – representatives of the South-Eastern Interregional Department of the State Labor Service; Silpo company; representatives of the Zaporizhzhia Ferroalloy Plant – Oleksiy Prystupa and Ihor Kharsitsa.

The STEM-Projects Festival of the National University “Zaporizhzhia Polytechnic” is about bold ideas, unconventional thinking and the desire to change the world around us. Our participants gained new knowledge and received vivid impressions filled with many positive emotions. They presented their own projects with dignity, and also had a unique opportunity to see how other people’s ideas are born and implemented – from the first ideas to their implementation. This experience inspires us to move forward, develop and think even more creatively. We are sure that next year the participants will surprise us with new projects.
Thank you to the students and teaching staff for your activity! Zaporizhia Polytechnic University is a place where dreams take shape!
