Futuristic education is already here: workshop demonstrating the capabilities of STEM equipment
On 6 June 2025, a practical workshop entitled ‘Demonstration of STEM equipment capabilities: futuristic education – today!’ was held for faculty members of West Ukrainian National University. The event was hosted by the STEM Lab in Building No. 1 (Room 1203).
The event was conducted by Soft Skills STEM Lab trainers, who held an informative session combining theoretical analysis of innovative educational technologies with practical introduction to the lab's cutting-edge equipment.
Participants got acquainted with the functionality of VR glasses, which allow students to immerse themselves in virtual environments for learning complex concepts, tried out interactive panels that provide multimedia content and facilitate teamwork in the learning process, and explored the potential of interactive partners – individual workstations with touch control that open up new opportunities for practical work for students.
The workshop focused on practical skills, giving everyone a chance to try out the equipment and model different educational scenarios. This helped teachers not only see the potential of STEM tools, but also figure out how to use them in their own teaching.
The WUNU STEM Lab proves once again that modern education is a symbiosis of technology, critical thinking and interdisciplinarity that inspires qualitative change. The introduction of the latest teaching tools does not replace the teacher, but enhances their role, opening up new horizons for interaction with students.
After the workshop, everyone got certificates confirming their participation and the practical skills they learned in working with innovative STEM equipment.
