The STEM Center, headed by Deputy Director V.O. Smirnov and the Volodymyr Martsynkovskyy Computational Mechanics Department, with the participation of teachers Y.E. Savchenko, S.S. Nekrasov, Ph.D. student Y.I. Sapozhnykov, and the head of the Materials Resistance Laboratory V.M. Shendryk, organized career guidance events.

In the first quater of 2024, 10th-grade students from School No.12 in Sumy, together with their physics teacher and class supervisor N.N. Surayeva, were invited to the Materials Resistance Laboratory. The director of the "Technology" center, Y.E. Savchenko, presented a report on the specialty of Computer Mechanics. Demonstrations included testing stands for axial tension, compression, and impact during transverse bending deformation. Testing with steel samples was conducted by instructor S.S. Nekrasov and laboratory head V.M. Shendryk.

Separately, work was done to prepare center students for participation in the annual spring conference scheduled for April 2024. Y.E. Savchenko, S.S. Nekrasov, and Y.I. Sapozhnykov were involved in the preparation process.
