On March 18, 2026, the village of Pokotylivka became the venue for the first time for the popular science event “Universe of Knowledge” from the National Aerospace University “Kharkiv Aviation Institute”. The event took place at the “Promin” Lyceum and brought together high school students from the entire Vysochansk community.
About 100 students from six local lyceums joined the meeting, which combined a demonstration of modern technologies, live communication with KhAI teachers and scientists, and the opportunity to ask questions about the 2026 admission campaign. The atmosphere was complemented by interactive activities, contests, and gifts.
Schoolchildren got acquainted with models of aircraft, a car, and various types of engines, and observed the work of robotic systems — from a programmable car and a “beetle robot” to a bionic spider robot, a wheeled Mars rover, and a Robops. A humanoid robot with a talking artificial intelligence, virtual reality glasses and interactive AR-painting aroused considerable interest.
The space direction was represented by models of a satellite, a rocket, a solar panel, as well as samples of rocket and space technology made of composite materials. Students also saw a radar model and a mock-up of electronic warfare equipment.
The medical and technical component was demonstrated by a vascular visualizer, a pulse oximeter and the "Phasegraph" complex. Practical interest was aroused by a shooting range using electromagnetic energy, a banknote counter, a currency detector, a forensic suitcase and a polygraph.
In addition to the technical part, schoolchildren took part in two linguistic games and worked with educational literature, which supplemented the engineering component with a humanitarian dimension.
The event was organized by the Department of Education of the Vysochansk Village Council together with the Preparatory Department of Khai in cooperation with all faculties of the university with the assistance of the institution's management.
"The Universe of Knowledge" visited the Vysoca community for the first time - and immediately gathered a full hall of interested students. This is another confirmation: interest in science, engineering, and technology is only growing today.
