24.03.2026
During spring break, a group of computer science and physics teachers from general secondary schools in the Sovietsky District of Minsk
visited the Unite Institute for Informatics Problems of the National Academy of Sciences of Belarus. The event was organized to enhance the teachers' professional skills and proved a true source of inspiration and new knowledge for participants striving to implement innovative approaches in the educational process.
The tour was opened by Deputy Director General for Research, Sergei Kasanin, who gave an introductory lecture on the work of the UIIP of the National Academy of Sciences of Belarus, its main areas of focus, and achievements. The teachers learned about the importance of research in computer science and technology, as well as how these advances can be used in the educational process.
Particular attention was paid to unique developments in the field of innovative technologies for structural and technological design and supercomputer modeling. Sergei
Medvedev, Doctor of Engineering Sciences and Chief Researcher of the High-Performance Systems Laboratory, shared his developments in this area and even offered the teachers a short homework assignment for the tour participants.
At the shared-use supercomputer center, the teachers were able to see the powerful installations that Sergei Medvedev had previously described. The group was accompanied by the project's chief designer, Alexander Rymarchuk, who explained in detail the operating principles of supercomputer technologies and their importance for scientific research.
At the end of the nearly three-hour tour, the teachers visited the Geoinformation Systems enterprise. Here, they learned about the operation of Belarusian satellites in orbit, how Earth remote sensing data is used, and even visited the roof of the Joint Institute for Informatics and Information Processing of the National Academy of Sciences of Belarus, where powerful receiving systems for processing data from space are installed.
This event not only broadened the teachers' knowledge but also inspired them to integrate new technologies into the educational process and simply share their knowledge with students and colleagues.
