One of the most striking and unusual events of this year took place in Podolsk: the children's festival "For the Good", dedicated to International Children's Day.
On Children's Day, a large-scale event was organized on the territory of the Church of the Intercession of the Holy Mother of God (Podolsk). Archpriest Mark Ganaba gave a lecture for the children, during which he used digital equipment to tell them about the history of churches and the meaning of bell ringing.
At the invitation of Archpriest Mark, the teachers of the Club "Naustim" prepared fascinating scientific master classes for children from Orthodox and Sunday schools and all festival guests.
The festival program included a master class on creating cartoons on the topic of Orthodox traditions in the family and a lesson in robotics. Anyone who wanted could print church domes on a 3D printer — the missing elements of a large construction set. Some even taught robots to dance Russian folk dances.
The digital laboratory was of particular interest to the children.Naurasha", in which they were able to experiment with light and sound sensors.
The culmination of the event was a performance quest based on Orthodox children's fairy tales, math and logic problems. In addition, the children joined interactive competitions and Russian fun.
Students from general education institutions and Orthodox schools took part in the festival.
At the end of the event, the participants walked around the temple to the sounds of digital bells and received awards from representatives of ANO "NAUSTiM" and "Scientific Entertainment".
This festival has become a true example of how science and the church can work together for the benefit of children!
