ASU Takes Part in Festival of Science of South Russia

On Sept. 23-24, 2017, Southern Federal University (Rostov-on-Don, Russia) hosted the 8th Festival of Science of South Russia. The event was backed by the Ministry of Education & Science of the Russian Federation. People of Astrakhan State University took part in it as well.

The exposition area at the DonExpoCenter Congress & Exhibition Center made up 3,500 sq. m. It included 45 interactive modules: over 20 universities presented their innovations, as well as 10 industrial enterprises, innovative technological centers, and R & D institutions.

At the exposition module of Astrakhan State University, our students presented their developments:

• Milling Machine with Numerical Program Control (by Nikolay Svischchev);
• 3D Printer (by Ivan Maslikov);
• Mechatronic Wheelchair for People with Special Needs (by Ivan Kolesnikov and Mikhail Ilmenskiy);
• Multidisciplinary Model of Fairy Tale Therapy (by Alena Fateeva);
• Falling in Love with Russian Literature (by Valentina Atrashkevich and Anna Maria Rostetskaya).

Public lectures were available for participants throughout the whole Festival. As for students of secondary schools, they could attend profession-orienting consultations, contests in Robotics and in Ship Modeling. The business agenda for universities and business companies included roundtables, the foresight session “Generation 2030”, and a meeting of the Educational Cluster Council of South Russia.

The projects presented by ASU were of real interest for both university students – future specialists in Electronics and Robotics – and students of secondary schools.

At the end of the Festival, our University was awarded with a letter of thanks for its contribution to organization of this Festival.
