Three Bulgarian students were among the winners of the Space Tube project supported by Microsoft, Airbus and 3M. Students from several European countries, including Bulgaria, put their knowledge to the test and explore space. Bulgarian high school students showed excellent knowledge through a video created by them, commenting on the differences between physics and science fiction in well-known films about space. The interactive performance of the students brought them a win in the competition together with the Belgian team.
“In 2025, team work will be among the most important skills for success alongside creative thinking and so-called STEM skills. Adapting the school system is key to preparing the students for the economy of the modern times. I am glad that we have teachers and schools in Bulgaria that are looking for and finding opportunities for cooperation on international projects. Proactivity and creative thinking are developing so when students have the freedom to test their knowledge and themselves, they reach conclusions on their own. The young Bulgarian talents showed just that in the video,” said Bulgarian MEP Eva Maydell during the discussion with the winners.
Anton Ivanov, Yoan Stoyanov and Kristian Georgiev are the winners, who were also congratulated by Microsoft Vice President John Frank and the 3M Director for Europe Maxim Bureau. The winners of the contest also visited the 3M innovations centre in Düsseldorf and the European Space Agency in Brussels.
