Scientists of Research and Development Center of Biomedical Photonics of the Flagship University have created an interactive atmosphere of Science Festival building its exposition step by step
- for preschool children (0+): entertaining and exciting experiments, optical illusions, educational lessons in the field of natural phenomena and the action of physical laws
- for school students: three-dimensional holograms, Board game "Laser Pharaoh" based on optical principles and logic, spectral analysis of chemical liquids using the equipment of Research and Development Center of Biomedical Photonics;
- for students, postgraduates, scientists and visitors: non-invasive diagnostics of blood microcirculation using the methods of biophotonics (laser Doppler flowmetry, fluorescence spectroscopy).
It is hard to convey in words how admired the guests and participants of interactive activities persons were, although the photos show their sincere interest in the exposition of the University.
A natural result was the growth of interest in the University from potential applicants, scientists and colleagues from Belgorod, which gives prospects for joint projects, exchange of experience and organization of research activities and strengthening the impact on the popularity of science and technology in the region.
