The competition was organized on the initiative of the university\u2019s School of Lifelong Learning and provided a platform for students to present innovative educational ideas integrating science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Within the framework of the competition, participants worked on projects aimed at expanding the application of the STEAM approach in the education system. Student teams developed innovative ideas in various directions, including interactive learning methods, digital learning platforms, robotics and programming-based teaching models, as well as educational tools designed to foster creative thinking. The presented projects aimed to contribute to the more effective implementation of STEAM education in both schools and higher education institutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The main objective of the event was to enhance students\u2019 creative thinking, analytical approach, and problem-solving skills while encouraging them to develop and apply modern educational technologies. Working in teams, participants transformed their ideas into project formats and prepared presentations explaining their practical applicability and potential benefits for the educational environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During the final stage of the competition, participating teams presented their STEAM-based projects to the jury panel. The evaluation process considered criteria such as the innovativeness of the projects, their applicability in the field of education, the integration of creative elements, and their technological foundation. The most promising projects selected by the jury were specially recognized, and participants were provided with recommendations for the further development of their initiatives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It should be noted that such initiatives implemented at Mingachevir State University contribute significantly to the formation of an innovative educational environment at the university, increase students\u2019 interest in technology- and creativity-based projects, and support the development of modern educational approaches. These events also enable young people to enhance their knowledge and skills through real projects and contribute to shaping the education models of the future.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A startup competition on \u201cSTEAM Education Projects\u201d was held at Mingachevir State University with the aim of promoting modern educational approaches and developing students\u2019 creative and technology-based thinking skills.
