Educational camps are one of the main activities of the National Children’s Technology Park, which provides free education for students in grades 9-11 in their chosen field.

Since November 2022, we have been offering 15 courses: Green Chemistry, Information and Computer Technologies, Robotics, Engineering Ecology, Biotechnology, Nanoindustry and Nanotechnology, Future Energy, Electronics and Communications, Architecture and Design, Information Security, Laser Technologies, Aerospace Technologies, Virtual and Augmented Reality, Machines and Engines. Automotive Engineering, and Natural Resources.

Detailed information about each direction can be found in the Educational Directions tab..

The educational program lasts 24 days, including the day of arrival and the day of departure.

Junior students attend educational classes and subject lessons according to the general secondary education program. They also participate in extracurricular activities, which include various events, excursions, swimming lessons, choreography classes, and more.

In order to enroll in the Children’s Technology Park, you must pass an entrance exam, which consists of two stages:

1. The first option includes submitting an online application with a research project attached and/or a diploma from a winner or participant in international, national, or regional educational events (according to the selected field of the additional education program for gifted children and youth in the children’s technology park).
2. In the second stage, the student will need to complete a test to determine their level of technical, analytical, and spatial thinking. After that, they will have to pass an interview and choose an educational field based on the number of points they have earned.

A junior student must develop and present a research project in their chosen field: for example, if a student plans to study robotics, their project must be related to robotics.

Selection begins approximately two months before the start of the shift. For example, for the January 2023 shift, recruitment begins on October 31, 2022. Applications are accepted for two weeks.

During the shift, students live in a block-type Technodom. Each block has two rooms for two people, a toilet, and a shower.

The dining room offers five meals a day. There is a laundry room on each floor.

The Technodom has a gym, a sports hall, board games, study rooms, a rhetoric hall, an exhibition hall, and an auditorium, all designed for a productive leisure time.

Parents are only allowed on the Tech House grounds on the day of check-in and check-out. We don’t have a Parents’ Day. Here’s why:

1. Holding parent-teacher meetings puts children in an unequal position. Some children may have their parents with them, while others may not. Students who do not have their parents with them may feel anxious about this. This is the main reason why parent-teacher meetings are not held.
2. The epidemiological situation. Even if you are completely healthy, a parent with a cold or something worse may visit another child. As a result of one contact, an entire group of students may become ill.
3. It should be noted that the student is only visiting for 24 days, and they can be reached via mobile phone, social media, email, or Skype if necessary.

We hope for your understanding, as this decision is solely motivated by concern for the students and their health.

Due to the intensive training schedule that covers the entire period of stay at the Children’s Technology Park, juniors are not allowed to participate in certain events or parts of the educational program. This includes the exclusion of students’ arrivals and departures during the program.

On the day of arrival, students must register at the following address: 7 Universitetsky Proyezd, Minsk.

The following documents must be provided during registration:

• birth certificate (or other identity document) of the student + photocopy;
• student’s application (for students under the age of majority, the application must be signed by their legal representatives);
• medical certificate on the student’s health status (Form 1 zdru/u-10);
• medical certificate for visiting the pool;
• certificate of no contact with infectious patients (issued no earlier than three days before arrival at the children’s technology park);
• an individual curriculum (taking into account the distribution of study hours for organizing students’ educational activities in subjects during their stay at the National Children’s Technology Park, according to the appendix), approved by the head of the educational institution where the student is receiving general secondary education.

The admission of students from their escorts is formalized by the “Act of Arrival of Students (Groups, Delegations)”.

Students leave the National Children’s Technology Park on the day the educational session ends.

The Children’s Technology Park’s legal responsibility for the safety and health of students ends when they are handed over to their parents (or legal representatives). The fact of student handover is confirmed by the signature of the parents (or legal representatives) and the accompanying person in the Act.

Junior students have five meals a day at the Technodom cafeteria.

Food at the children’s technology park

A laptop is provided to juniors on a temporary basis, but only for working on research projects at the Technodom.

Textbooks are not required, as students are provided with electronic media containing the necessary educational materials.

As a rule, students of the same profile live in the same room. The decision on the distribution of children in the rooms is made by the management of the Children’s Technopark.

Each profile has team leaders who are constantly with the students. A night tutor works at night.

In addition, the Technodom has a video surveillance system.

Yes, you can get the password from the team leader.

Yes, you do. You need a certificate marked “For swimming pool”.

(A swimming pool certificate is a document that is provided by an individual who intends to visit a swimming pool and certifies that their health condition meets the requirements for visiting such facilities. The certificate is issued by a medical institution in order to prevent the spread of diseases that can be transmitted through contact with water and swimming equipment to other visitors to the swimming pool.)

We do not recommend giving your child a large amount of money, as well as valuable items and expensive appliances.

Technodom has its own laundry. The guys hand in their clothes in special laundry bags to the team leaders, and then pick them up clean.

Well-trained team leaders are available to students throughout the educational session. Please encourage your children to contact them with any questions they may have. If a child feels unwell, they should ask their team leader to take them to a doctor or call an ambulance.

The Children’s Technology Park is not only a unique educational and scientific platform, but also a place where students engage in various cultural, sports, creative, and leisure activities.

The Technodom has board games, a gym, a rhetoric room, and an assembly hall. Trainings and workshops, as well as cultural and creative events, are organized for students. In addition, students go on excursions and visit cultural and sports facilities in Minsk. There is also free time and time for self-study.

A summary of the training programs is available on our website in the Educational Shifts/ Educational Areas section. .

Training at the National Children’s Technology Park is organized in a full-time (day) form. After mastering the content of the educational program in a full-time form, a student can continue working on a project in a distance learning format according to an individual program. Enrollment of a student in a distance learning format is carried out based on the recommendations of the teachers of the National Children’s Technology Park, taking into account the prospects of the project.
