During the last 5 years teachers of the Tomsk state pedagogical university have been realizing the project of «TSPU center for additional physico-mathematical and natural-science education» that should enhance the prestige of physico-mathematical education. Each year school students gather at Center and attend lectures conducted by talented teachers and scientists of the University, solve extraordinary tasks, conduct exciting experiments and prepare themselves to Basic State Examination and Unified State Exam introducing themselves to amazing world of science.

It is necessary to make children interested in studying natural sciences and mathematics! Starting from the 5th grade school students are able to comprehend natural-science theories. How to present serious science in fun and accessible way? It requires a special approach to the organization of educational process. Such approach was developed by Aristotle – science begins with amazement!

Truly, an amazement gives rise to interest and curiosity, which are the main triggers of knowledge. That is why the teachers of Center are doing their best to impress and amaze children with interesting experiments, researches and projects from the real life.  On the lessons «Entertaining physics», «Entertaining mathematics», «Physical workshop» children are learning to see unusual things in everyday life, think and draw conclusions. And when attention was drawn the skilled teachers of Center (including the ones invited from Moscow and other regions of Russia) will help children to prepare to contests including All-Russian and international.

In 2015 TSPU center for additional physico-mathematical and natural-science education was awarded with a title of federal innovative platform.

The lessons took place at the following address: 64 Komsomolsky prospect.
