GAST’s Young Researchers

Our 9th grade students presented their STEM research papers at the 79th Student Educational-Research Conference, “The Digital Era and Its Challenges.” The topics of research papers are as follows:

Biology:

1. Natalie Seturidze — “Digital Amnesia and Brain Neuroplasticity”
2. Nikoloz Varamishvili — “When Technologies and Cells Become Friends”

Research Supervisor: Biology teacher — Ana Burtikashvili

Chemistry:

1. Luka Lekborashvili — “Electronic Waste: Global Challenges and Management Strategies”
2. Ilia Zarandia — “3D Printing Technologies and the Diversity of Materials in the Digital Era”

Research Supervisor: Chemistry teacher — Giorgi Pitiurishvili

Mathematics:

1. Nutsa Lagazidze — “Finding All Positive Real Solutions of the Equation x^y = y^x”

Research Supervisor: Physics teacher — Bidzina Abesadze

A few days before the conference, the students also presented their research projects at school. Out of the five papers, three were selected to be presented at the 79th Student Educational-Research Conference.

The aim of the conference is to promote education among students and young people, as well as to develop their independent working and information synthesis skills. It also seeks to strengthen young people’s interest in mastering various fields of science and to foster skills in conducting scientific and research-based experiments, creating inventions, engineering models, and prototypes.

Similar educational projects contribute to the development of creativity, research abilities, public speaking, and presentation skills.
