On the eve of the 125th anniversary of academician Kanysh Satpayev and as part of the implementation of researchers’ grant projects, two new laboratories were opened at our university — the educational laboratory “STEM and Creativity” and the scientific laboratory “Nanotechnologies and New Materials for Energy”.
The opening ceremony was attended by the Chairman of the Science Committee of the Ministry of Science and Higher Education of the Republic of Kazakhstan, Galimzhan Zhankutov, Chairman of the Board of the JSC “Science Fund” Kamil Akatov, Rector of the University Zhanar Temirbekova, as well as university leadership and researchers.
The educational laboratory “STEM and Creativity” was established within the framework of grant projects funded by the Science Committee of the Ministry of Science and Higher Education of Kazakhstan: “Development of Students’ Creativity Based on STEM Education in the Context of Industry 4.0” and “Development of the Training Process for Engineering Students in English Based on STEAM Education.”
The strategic goal of the laboratory is to create a modern digital educational environment, improve the effectiveness of teaching physics in connection with other disciplines, develop STEM products and assess their effectiveness in the learning process, enhance students’ engineering skills, and contribute to the development of science and technology in the country through commercialization of developed products and increased economic efficiency.
In the “STEM and Creativity” laboratory, scientists are engaged in current research issues in the field of physics education. The research group has already launched several STEM stands. Using 3D printers and other equipment, a telescope was produced. Based on virtual reality (VR) technologies, 3D model programs on various topics in physics were developed. The created STEM products make it possible to find solutions to global issues related to the impact of the industrial revolution on education systems.
The scientific laboratory “Nanotechnologies and New Materials for Energy” was established under a grant project of the Science Committee of the Ministry of Science and Higher Education of the Republic of Kazakhstan titled “Development of Composite Metal-Ceramic Coatings for Protecting Zirconium Alloy Used in the Nuclear Industry from Hydriding and High-Temperature Oxidation.”
The strategic goal of the scientific laboratory is to address current fundamental and applied challenges related to the use of renewable and alternative energy sources, conduct scientific research and experimental design work, as well as commercialize the results of scientific developments.
In addition, the laboratory is focused on implementing educational programs in the field of nanotechnology and nanosystem sciences. The research team is preparing proposals for introducing the results of their studies into production and creating small enterprises based on new technologies.
