The "Science Week: Armenia," held from September 22 to 26, 2026, brought together educational institutions, families, and communities to bring science closer to people's daily lives. This initiative organized by "Science Power" was based on the idea that "The researcher lives within each of us," inspiring questions, experimentation, and discovery.
More than 400 schools and kindergartens from across Armenia joined the week's programs, providing their students the opportunity to develop their curiosity for research right in their educational environment.
The opportunities to explore science continued online as well; in just five days of the week, scientific games were played over 700 times in total. In the regions, in close collaboration with the youth centers of the Ministry of Education, Science, Culture, and Sports, screenings of the "Stories of Innovation in Armenia" film series were held, bringing the stories of Armenia's science and innovation to the youth in communities.
Science and creative imagination were united in the "Beyond the Horizon" science fiction story competition, which received over 50 submissions. The works of the winners have already been published on the Science Week website; they can be read online or downloaded.
The program of Science Week also included the "European Researchers' Night in Armenia" organized by the National Academy of Sciences of the Republic of Armenia, with "Science Power" being the main partner of the event.
"Science Week encourages curiosity, critical thinking, creativity, and problem-solving. It helps make science a part of everyday conversations in schools, families, communities, and public spaces. For us, science is a mindset, a public culture, and a national priority," said Tigran Shahverdyan, a member of the "Science Power" initiative.
Science Week has concluded, but its educational materials and games will remain available, ensuring the ongoing impact of the initiative. Online games can continue to be played, and workbooks can be downloaded and used throughout the year in schools, kindergartens, or at home. The games, workbooks, and stories of the competition winners are available on the website armsciweek.am.
The supporters of Science Week are the Ministry of Education, Science, Culture, and Sports of the Republic of Armenia and the National Academy of Sciences of the Republic of Armenia.
The technological partner is Team Telecom Armenia, and the scientific intellectual partner is the PMI Science research center in Armenia.
Partners include "Zangak" publishing house, Woods Center, ArmCon Contest, Aylkerp, CivilNet, Armenpress, HayPost.
The organizers express their gratitude to the partners, participating educational institutions, educators, and youth centers for their collaborative efforts to make science accessible.
