The “Art and Science in Schools” project was implemented in schools in Yerevan and Charentsavan. This innovative initiative aims to integrate project-based learning into the educational process through interdisciplinary exhibitions, combining science, art, media, and technology. The project also aims to identify future talents and support their professional education.
The project, organized by hosq, was launched in collaboration with schools in Yerevan and Charentsavan that were interested in developing project-based learning. Over the course of several weeks, students aged 10–16, working alongside their school teacher-mentors and field specialists, created research-based creative projects. The initiative culminated in a two-day exhibition showcasing a diverse range of student-created works, including websites and games.
The pilot project achieved significant results, demonstrating the transformative potential of project-based learning. Students had the opportunity to apply their school knowledge to real creative and research projects, effectively combining art, science, and technology through an interdisciplinary approach. At the same time, hosq succeeded in identifying and supporting talented young people, incorporating them into its broader ecosystem to foster further growth. The final exhibition served as a dynamic platform that brought together students, teachers, parents, and creative professionals, encouraging dialogue and collaboration around new educational models.

During the exhibition, a professional jury composed of representatives from the creative and academic sectors selected the six best student projects to receive educational grants. These grants will support further studies in professional fields, ensuring that the talents discovered through the project continue to develop.
Masterclasses conducted by experts in media, visual arts, animation, sound design, documentary filmmaking, and graphic design provided students with hands-on experience and an opportunity to explore the diversity of creative professions. These sessions not only enriched the projects but also inspired participants to envision potential career paths in the creative industries.
The pilot phase of the “Art and Science in Schools” project has laid the foundation for long-term educational impact. By promoting interdisciplinary thinking, strengthening the network of teacher-mentors, and developing a student base, the program prepares a new generation of learners equipped with creativity, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills.
hosq plans to expand the initiative to other schools in Armenia, creating a national network of teachers and students engaged in interdisciplinary, project-based learning.
“This project demonstrates that when students are given the opportunity to combine science with creative thinking, extraordinary things can happen. The exhibition was not just about projects—it was about collaboration, innovation, and building a culture of talent development within the school system,” the hosq team notes.
