To understand what tomorrow will be like, we need to develop modern children and teenagers - those who will shape our future and live in it. These are the so-called Generation Z and "α" generations. Creative development is one of the foundations of the development of a modern child's future.

In classes, using game-based learning and TRIZ technology, we will help develop creative thinking, as well as teach how to create products of various project activities. We will teach how to work in a group, demonstrating individual abilities. Our task is to create conditions for self-realization of students.
