Professions of the Future

To provide young people with practical skills in working with modern digital technologies, promote STEAM education, and create opportunities to explore professions important for the post-war reconstruction of Ukraine.

The “Professions of the Future” project was implemented by the NGO Eco Misto in cooperation with Chernihiv Polytechnic National University. Participants of the project included university students specializing in construction-related fields and senior high school students from Chernihiv.

As part of the project, a series of educational courses and urban excursions dedicated to modern technologies and digital tools was organized. The program covered urbanism and urban ecology, 3D modeling, 3D scanning for reconstruction, artificial intelligence and data, BIM design in Revit, as well as CNC technologies for model making and prototyping.

One of the key practical case studies of the project was the research of the building located at 2B Muzeina Street in Chernihiv. Well known to many residents of the city, the house is situated on the hillside behind the Historical Museum, near the Val area. Based on historical photographs of the location, it can be assumed that the building was constructed either in the late 19th century or at the beginning of the 20th century.

Participants of the 3D scanning course created a digital model of the building using photogrammetry and laser scanning methods under the guidance of a geodetic surveying expert from the UNESCO Office in Ukraine. These materials later became the basis for BIM modeling of the building in Revit software.

During the CNC technologies course, participants worked on preparing technical drawings and files for digital fabrication. Based on the created model, two physical architectural models of the building were produced using various techniques, including laser cutting, 3D printing, and CNC milling.

An important part of the project was career guidance work with school students. In cooperation with the Chernihiv City Education Department, more than 100 school students visited Peremoha Lab and learned about the possibilities of modern digital fabrication, STEAM education, and maker culture in general.

The final event of the project was a media day held at Peremoha Lab, where participants presented the results of their work. Guests of the event had the opportunity to see the created 3D model and physical architectural models of the building, as well as learn more about the educational process and technologies explored by the participants throughout the project.
