Igrar Nazarov noted that this festival is not only a competition, but also an international platform that provides an opportunity for young people in our country to participate in a global exchange of knowledge.
According to Minister of Science and Education Emin Amrullayev, STEAM education in Azerbaijan has developed significantly over the past five years, with thousands of students joining the process, and the expansion of innovative thinking in the education system further enhances the importance of the festival.
Touching upon the main components of STEAM education, Emin Amrullayev noted that, compared to the early years, more than 50 times more educational resources, methodologies and systemic models are being introduced. The minister emphasized that STEAM will become the main leading content of Azerbaijani education in 2027–2030.
