Bloomberg TV Bulgaria · "Smart Hour" with Zhivka Popatanasova
How a science festival builds civic engagement in children
Bloomberg TV Bulgaria devoted "Smart Hour" to the first Sci-High Fest. In Zhivka Popatanasova's studio, Eli Stoykova and Reneta Bogdanova explain how a student science festival builds civic engagement.
Bloomberg TV Bulgaria covered the first edition of Sci-High Fest 2019 in its flagship programme “Smart Hour”, hosted by Zhivka Popatanasova. In studio: Reneta Bogdanova and Eli Stoykova from Sci-High.
“Sci-High is a way of thinking that teaches children how to look for a solution through a scientific approach.”
Topics in the conversation:
- Why a student science festival is broader than a science competition — and where the distinction matters.
- How mentorship from university faculty and industry experts changes a student’s image of “a career in science”.
- What kinds of projects students actually choose when they’re given the freedom — and why those tend to be social as much as technical problems.
