High school students design a temporary emergency settlement in a competition organised by KTU2023-03-06, 17:54The events of the past year have given us a better understanding of how fragile and vulnerable our daily routines are. The ongoing war in Ukraine, earthquakes in Turkey and Syria, and other disasters force people to leave their homes and seek temporary shelter. Although some refugees can find shelter in the homes of the locals, most refugees settle on temporary emergency settlements, SOS towns. They hope to return home or start a fresh life in another country. In Lithuania, the incidence of dental caries among children is very high. Around 60% of the children who enter school at grade one and 90% percent of school leavers have dental caries. Not all parents understand that they are responsible for their children’s teeth, so the lack of oral hygiene skills originates within the family. It is very important to compensate for this deficiency at least partially through the dentists of educational institutions and the dentists in odontology who are the first to check children’s teeth. VILNIUS TECH contributes to the education of students in the field of modern technologies2023-03-02, 16:38In the 2022/2023 academic year, the Faculty of Fundamental Sciences started an activity aimed at educating students in the field of modern technologies. It is planned as an activity of the ongoing MERIT project, as well as part of the university’s initiative to share knowledge with schools and introduce study opportunities at VILNIUS TECH. According to activity initiator Assoc. Prof. Dr Pavel Stefanovič, "Education on the application of information technologies and innovations is necessary to encourage schoolchildren to be more interested in technologies and their application. Currently, such training is relevant not only for students but also for teachers. This is because the General Education curricula have been updated and not all teachers know how to implement these changes in the teaching process. We hope that the lectures given by our teachers will be interesting, encouraging, and will inspire positive change."
