A panel discussion was held at the All-Ukrainian STEAM House smart device modelling competition, where students and educators worked side by side.

A panel discussion was held at the All-Ukrainian STEAM House smart device modelling competition, where students and educators worked side by side.

This year’s All-Ukrainian competition in modelling “smart” devices, “STEAM House”, was innovative in both form and content.

During the event, a panel discussion was held, where students and educators discussed side by side the problems and prospects of education in Ukraine, with an emphasis on STEM development.

The main points of the conversation can be summarised as follows:
Education must be constantly updated in terms of both content and practice.
The introduction of STEM approaches into the educational process will promote a more practical use of theoretical knowledge.
Artificial intelligence in the educational process is not an enemy, but it must remain an assistant.

Ukrainian education needs more practice and creativity.
The project approach (the very basis of the STEM philosophy) should be widely applied in the study of all disciplines.

Without a doubt, competitions in modelling “smart” devices help not only to identify talented young people who see their future in STEM specialities.

It is an opportunity to get feedback from students who are not always heard by adults, as well as a kind of guide on the directions of transformation of the education system.

We would like to thank the partners and sponsors of the Competition for their significant contribution to the development of STEM education and the technological future of Ukraine.

We invite socially responsible businesses to support the country’s talented young people in the 2025 STEM competitions!

Together towards victory!

A case study by Nadiya Omelchenko, founder of the Educational Initiatives Foundation and lecturer at MIM Business School, for business school students from around the world, dedicated to approaches to crisis management in the context of the war in Ukraine, using the example of the resilience of the IT-Integrator team in 2022-2024″Coping with a protracted crisis: a case study of IT-Integrator in Ukraine” – at the end of November included in the prestigious Emerald Emerging Markets Case Studies collection and published on the Emerald Publishing portal.
This case study will help MBA students and those enrolled in leadership and crisis management prog rammes to evaluate management approaches in crisis situations; develop strategies for stabilising and adapting businesses; and develop crisis leadership skills.
Nadiya Omelchenko’s case study shows how employee protection, business continuity, and strategic thinking become a reliable foundation for overcoming the crisis and future recovery in conditions of existential threat, which today can affect any enterprise in any part of the world.

16 December 2024

 At the Starobilsk Vocational College of V. Dahl East Ukrainian National University (Luhansk region), thanks to the “Unbreakable Education” project, we managed to create a modern educational space with STEM technologies in October. This became possible in those days when the town was still under the control of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
Today, Starobilsk is under temporary occupation by the enemy. But what we managed to do together with our partners was, is, and will remain a symbol of the indestructibility of Ukrainian education. This is not just a computer classroom — it is hope that no occupation can destroy. It is a place where students built their dreams for the future, and we believe that they will return to their classrooms, to their knowledge, to their homes.
We would like to thank our partners who supported this important project at the time:
Reusing It — for the technology that became the basis of the educational process.
The Educational Initiatives Foundation team — for their titanic work in the most difficult conditions.
IT Integrator — for fast logistics and service support.
Ukrainian education is unshakeable. Every classroom, every computer, every child is a step towards our victory. We will not stop until all Ukrainian schools and colleges are free again.

Together towards victory!

At the Nemishaevsky Vocational College, located in one of the regions affected by the war, we worked with our partners to set up a modern computer classroom using STEM technologies. It is not only a learning space, but also a place where students can dream, create and develop in safety.
The Unbreakable Education project proves that even in the most difficult circumstances, Ukrainian education can be high-quality and accessible.
We would like to thank: Reusing It for providing high-quality equipment that opens up new opportunities for students. The Educational Initiatives Foundftion  team for their persistent work in organising and supporting the educational process.
IT Integrator — for their professional approach to logistics and technical support.
This project is implemented with the support of the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine.
Together, we are creating conditions where, even in challenging circumstances, students can gain knowledge, acquire skills, and prepare for the future.
Together towards victory!
