Students of Lyceum No. 123 visited the laboratories of the SEI USUCT as part of the project “GREEN-ED. Green Education of Dnipro”.
On 13 May 2026, the SEI “Ukrainian State University of Chemical Technology” of USUST hosted an educational event as part of the project “GREEN-ED. Green Education of Dnipro”, aimed at promoting STEM education and fostering environmental awareness among school students.
On this day, students of grades 8–9 from Dnipro Lyceum No. 123 “Tandem” of the Dnipro City Council visited the departments and teaching-and-research laboratories of the SEI USUCT. An excursion to the institute’s modern laboratories was organized for the school students, during which they were introduced to current developments in engineering, materials science, and digital technologies.
In particular, together with the Head of the Department of Energy and Associate Professor of the Department of Materials Science Stanislav Kovalov, the students visited the Materials Science Laboratory, where they learned about modern structural and functional materials, their properties, and areas of practical application. In the Energy Laboratory, they were demonstrated the principles of equipment used for studying renewable energy sources, energy-efficient systems, and modern technological solutions in the field of energy.
A particular interest was drawn to the 3D printing laboratory, where students observed the process of producing components using additive technologies and were introduced to the possibilities of digital manufacturing, which is actively being implemented in modern engineering practice.
The event became part of the systematic career guidance work of the SEI USUCT within the “GREEN-ED” initiative, which provides school students with exposure to modern technologies, fosters interest in natural science and technical disciplines, and shapes an understanding of “green” innovations as a foundation for sustainable development.
Such meetings contribute to strengthening the connection between university education and schools, as well as help students consciously choose their future professional trajectory in the field of science and engineering.
