Nine projects supervised by IEE RAS researchers took part in the competition of research projects in natural sciences "Science and Research: Discoveries Every Day" for schoolchildren. On April 5, the defense of research projects took place in the Library of Natural Sciences of the Russian Academy of Sciences - schoolchildren made presentations and talked about the results of their activities.
From October 2024 to February 2025, classes for schoolchildren were held at IEE RAS. As part of independent work, the children prepared final papers, which were assessed by experts from IEE RAS and third-party organizations. Photos from the defense can be viewed at the link.
