Advancing Hands-On STEM Education
Uzbekistan’s leadership has outlined a policy to expand project-based teaching methods, students’ entrepreneurship skills and transform universities into centers for the development of education and science. Through the Central Asia University Partnerships Program (UniCEN), administered by American Councils for International Education and funded by the U.S. State Department through the U.S. Embassy in Tashkent, professors from Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Samarkand State University are sharing effective methods for hands-on science education for their students.
Dr. Michael Short, Associate Professor of Nuclear Science and Engineering at MIT, and Dr. Akmal Safarov, researcher at the Nuclear Physics laboratory at Samarkand State, are committed to facilitating new hands-on experiences for students in the classroom. As a first step, the MIT professor sent Geiger counter kits for 20 students at Samarkand State to assemble. Using a mobile app and open-source mapping tools online, students in Uzbekistan collected everyday samples for analysis – from banana peels to toenails to archaeological samples.
MIT played a critical role in the development of laboratory scripts, faculty, and student guidebooks for Samarkand State University’s new innovative nuclear electronics laboratory, which was recently equipped and became fully operational. Approximately 170 bachelor’s and 20 master’s students are using the scripts to provide a hands-on approach to learn nuclear physics.
During a visit to SSU in August 2021, Professor Michael Short visited the newly established laboratory of nuclear electronics, supported by the International Atomic Energy Association (IAEA) and MIT through UniCEN. There, he demonstrated the operation of Geiger counters to lab staff members and doctoral students from the Department of Nuclear Science and Engineering, trained laboratory personnel and students, and helped to identify 3D scanning and printing equipment for expansion.

In summer 2021, Doniyor Matyokubov was a fourth- year student at Urgench State University in the field of Biotechnology. He also completed STEM project which was organized by US Embassy in Tashkent from 2018 to 2020. He decided to expand his future career options and network through the Young Professional Internships Program, funded by the U.S. Embassy in Tashkent and administered by American Councils for International Education.
During an 8-week internship, Doniyor learned media skills at MPMG, a multi-media company. “As an intern, I learned skills such as editing videos, marketing, and creating interesting posts on social media. It was a huge opportunity to have an internship where I discovered personal and new practical skills.”
Doniyor also attributes the role of mentors who helped with their path to success. “My mentor supported me in planning long-term goals and communication. Overall, YPIP is a great chance for students who are on the path to change their future.”

FEP 2021 fellows take an active part in various sport events in the U.S.
FEP cohort is not only pursuing academic achievements in their host universities, but also maintaining a healthy lifestyle by participating in different sports activities.
Last week our fellows at Hartwick College in Oneonta, NY - Zuynatdin Tajekeev, Nilufar Jumaeva, and Serikbek Murataev took part in an annual running race - "Rothenberger road to recovery run" on various distances. In their distances, Ziynatdin Tajekeev finished 9th, Nilufar Jumaeva 16th, and Serikbek Murataev reached the finish line 6th. Later that week, Serikbek successfully participated in another marathon - "Pit Run," organized by the local Police administration. Also, FEP scholar Ulugbek Islamov from the University of Arkansas succeeded in the "Razor Run" marathon by running the whole 15 km distance.
