The idea author of the museum, founder and principal of the lyceum, is PhD in Philology, Shamil Sadiq. A 200 square meter indoor space within the educational institution has been allocated for the museum.
The founder of the museum and the idea author of the interactive experiments, as well as the head of the scientific club that will operate within the museum, is the well-known engineer Elchin Abbasov. He is also responsible for designing the experiments in the museum.
Under the STEM education banner, it is often forgotten that the foundation of engineering and technology lies in natural sciences, mathematics, and computer science. Instead, focus tends to be placed on reaching predetermined results by assembling certain projects from pre-made parts, neglecting the deep teaching of the fundamental principles and laws of science.
To demonstrate the working of these principles through concrete experiments, the decision was made to establish a science museum alongside the subject laboratories at the lyceum. Instead of purchasing ready-made exhibits and displaying them to students from a distance without allowing interaction, the preference was given to creating dynamic exhibits locally. Thus, students will be able to touch the dynamic exhibits and observe principles and conversions in fields like kinematics, dynamics, electromagnetism, thermodynamics, optics, and more.
The opening of the first phase of the museum is planned for April. From the opening day onward, students will be able to visit the museum, where the museum guide will provide information about experiments, laws, and transformations. The lyceum administration is confident that visiting the Interactive Science Museum will be an unforgettable experience for students, encouraging them to develop a deeper interest in science.
