8 second and 14 third places were rightfully awarded to the most talented and capable participants of the Olympiad – young experts in science from Ashgabat and all regions of the country.
Another 16 schoolchildren became the winners of Incentive Prizes of the large-scale intellectual competition.
During the award ceremony, the winners and prize winners of the Olympiad were presented with medals, diplomas and valuable gifts from the Oguz Han Engineering and Technology University of Turkmenistan.
The III integrated Olympiad "Talented Descendants of Oguz Han" in mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology included 3 rounds and started in March of this year. In the first round of the competition, 2,500 schoolchildren from all over the country competed. More than 1,000 of them continued the intellectual struggle in the second round. The 60 best experts in the disciplines competed in the final of the Olympiad.
As part of the final stage, held at the university, a summer school was organized for the finalists. It included intellectual and sports competitions, creative and cultural meetings, additional classes in various subjects, as well as entertaining training courses dedicated to current areas of modern science and education.
Events for schoolchildren were held in the university's innovation centers "World of Knowledge" and "Cybersport", as well as in the university's ultra-modern research and scientific laboratories equipped with advanced equipment. The finalists received educational lectures on the development and achievements of modern science, which were given by foreign professors, famous scientists from Germany, Türkiye and China.
The meetings of schoolchildren with university students, who introduced them to their scientific works and told them about the first steps on the path to science, were fruitful. Modeling lessons and practical classes in robotics were also included in the intensive program of the summer camp for the Olympiad finalists. The events held were aimed at stimulating the interest of schoolchildren in studying science, expanding their horizons and increasing motivation for active participation in scientific research work.
The integrated Olympiad, held for the third year in a row, is one of the university’s career-oriented projects, which is actively working to attract talented youth from the country.
It should be noted that all participants who passed the I, II or III stage of the Olympiad are included in the Golden Fund of the University “Talented Descendants of Oguz Han”, whose members enjoy a benefit when entering the university.
The fact that 113 of the 146 schoolchildren who participated in the Olympiad in previous years are currently studying at this prestigious university in various fields fully confirms the effectiveness of this project.
The Olympiad successfully makes a significant contribution to the implementation of priority tasks in the sphere of science and education of the country. Among them are strengthening effective links between higher and secondary educational institutions of the country, stimulating and supporting the interest of the younger generation in studying sciences, raising erudite, talented, active youth capable of successfully applying innovative technologies, thinking broadly and independently solving assigned tasks.
