Studying at Moscow schools always means high education standards. Young Moscow residents win gold medals at national and international Olympiads and make first steps towards their careers by studying in specialized classes. But wait, there is more: Moscow students have access to a wide range of arts and crafts courses helping children improve themselves in various spheres.
On Knowledge Day, we tell you what students-kulibins do, where 25 dwellings of nomadic peoples are, and where there is a real space center at school.
Teachers at school No. Here, every cohort has its own specific theme. For example, 7th-graders prepare projects about cinema, while 6th-graders make scale models of the Kulibintsy unique exposition devoted to Russian inventors. Every year, classes receive a route map to help them complete the tasks: they prepare interactive presentations, make scaled models, and develop quest tours. To make their performance bright and exciting, children even dress up and role-play Ivan Kulibin and Catherine II.
In spring, the expert commission assesses their works and awards the best students in the cohort. Over more than two years of the project, students have created about 25 scale models. The stand features models of Ivan Alexandrovsky's submarine, Ivan Kulibin's watercraft, Alexander Popov's radio, and the world's first bicycle with pedals.
Children make all the models themselves. They do the bulk of the work at technology classes, guided by the teacher. For example, students made a model of the first tram from plastic panels. They cut out thin sheets, glued them together, and then painted them. The scale model of Ivan Alexandrovsky's submarine was made of thick cardboard and the yellow M-5 flying boat was made of foam plastic," says Svetlana Smolyakova. This year, 16 6th-grades from school No.
