Baku Oxford School students present scientific project at Institute of Information Technology

The Institute of Information Technology of the Ministry of Science and Education attaches great importance to strengthening scientific potential in digital technologies and to discovering and nurturing young talent. To this end, the Institute provides intellectual support to students who stand out for their exceptional talent, excel in knowledge olympiads, and participate in innovative educational projects. By working with students who show an inclination for research, it encourages them to pursue scientific inquiry and helps them realize their potential in acquiring new knowledge. The mentorship provided by the Institute's scientists to Zulfugar Hasanov and Ali Nuri, 9th-grade students at Baku Oxford School, is an integral part of these efforts.

AZERTAC reports that the Institute of Information Technology organized a special scientific discussion to assess the current status of the students' research, review the results achieved, and outline future directions for the project's development. Gultekin Rzayeva, PhD in Chemistry, a teacher at Baku Oxford School who supported the students in preparing the project, also participated in the discussion.

Students Zulfugar Hasanov and Ali Nuri delivered a presentation on "Intelligent Monitoring and Map-Based Visualization System of Acoustic Noise Pollution in Baku."

The students stated that the primary objective of the project is to develop an intelligent system that enables real-time measurement and analysis of acoustic noise pollution in Baku, as well as the map-based visualization of the collected data. They provided detailed information on existing global approaches in this field, the conceptual foundations of the project, and the software utilized during system development. It was noted that, to expand the project's functionality and improve user accessibility, the development of a mobile application is planned for the near future.

An extensive exchange of views was conducted on the presentation. Discussing the scientific and practical significance, technical capabilities, and development prospects of the project, the Institute's scientists and specialists addressed questions from the students and offered their suggestions and recommendations.

Subsequently, Academician Rasim Alguliyev, Vice-President of ANAS and Director General of the Institute of Information Technology, emphasized the importance of guiding talented schoolchildren toward scientific activity and supporting their ideas and initiatives. He noted that engaging the younger generation in scientific research, reinforcing their theoretical knowledge through practical projects, and encouraging them to leverage the capabilities of modern technologies are of vital importance for building the country's future scientific potential.

Academician Rasim Alguliyev noted that engaging talented students in a research environment from an early age creates favorable conditions for developing their analytical thinking, problem-solving, and innovative proposal skills. In this regard, expanding cooperation between scientific institutions and secondary schools, as well as scientists sharing their knowledge and experience with the youth, is of particular importance. The scientist stated that the Institute of Information Technology is ready to provide intellectual support to the scientific initiatives of promising youth, helping them improve their research and realize new ideas.
