A festival that sparks momentum
Balkhash STEAM Serpini is the result of a major educational initiative implemented by the Eurasia Foundation of Central Asia with support from the Kounrad Corporate Fund and the Department of Education of Balkhash.

We believe STEAM education is the key to developing critical thinking, engineering skills, and sustainable solutions.

Bullet goals (with icons or dots):

  • Showcase the best school-based STEAM projects
  • Engage students and parents in science through interactive experiences
  • Create a shared space for collaboration between schools and experts
Selected science and engineering projects from Balkhash schools will be showcased at the festival. Students and teachers will present their innovative ideas in robotics, ecology, engineering, and coding.

Each project reflects hard work, curiosity, and a desire to make a difference

The festival also brings together professionals in STEAM education, science, engineering, and teaching methodology.
