Recently, a group of scholars led by AUA Professor Narine Sarvazyan conducted a two-day master class for 82 high school students from Sisian Primary and Brnakot Secondary Schools of Syunik Province. The event was made possible through FAR’s STEM program, launched in 2023 to inspire students and ignite a love for science.
The students, accompanied by their teachers and school principals, delved into cutting-edge scientific concepts through four interactive demonstrations: Exploring Human Tissues Using Hyperspectral Imaging, Unveiling the Secrets of Light, Seeing the Invisible, and Imaging Luminescent Objects.
The hands-on approach proved transformative. “Even those who were initially shy or passive became fully engaged, running between devices and asking questions,” said Hayarpi Sahakyan, Director of Brnakot Secondary School. “This was a rare and exciting opportunity for them to interact with advanced equipment, sparking genuine interest in biology, physics, and chemistry.”
For many students, it was their first encounter with technology like hyperspectral imaging. The experience was eye-opening. “I never imagined I could examine a human tissue sample in such detail or understand light in so many ways. It makes me want to learn more,” shared Mary, an enthusiastic 11th grader.
Professor Sarvazyan highlighted the importance of these experiences. “Science isn’t something confined to textbooks; it’s alive and all around us. When students see it in action, they realize its power to change the world. These demonstrations aim to show them what’s possible and encourage their curiosity.”
The potential of STEM is limitless.
