The fourth season of the MetaAngstrem project is here —and with it begins a new chapter of collaboration between the UkrainianAngstrem Lyceum and PTC.

What started in 2022 as an educational experiment has grown into solid proof that“grown-up” technologies can be successfully mastered even by children as young as ten.

Learning to Think in 3D

At Angstrem, we have unique experience integrating
Onshape — a powerful cloud-based 3D modeling tool — into the school curriculum.
Initially designed for students in grades 7–11, the course was later adapted, in 2023, for younger learners as well.

For our students, Onshape is more than just a digital tool.
It’s a career-oriented platform that helps them think, create, and collaborate like real engineers.

Students from grades 5 to 11 work on projects in teams: defining goals, designing, testing, and presenting results.
They develop essential skills — spatial thinking, analytical reasoning, teamwork, and ownership of their product.

Onshape gives children a sense of professional capability and helps them take their
first confident step toward a future technical career.

Real Projects, Real Achievements

In 2025 alone, 263 students took part in cross-disciplinary projects and created
34 original 3D models. Over three years, more than 600 students have participated,
producing over 100 unique models.

Many of these are now part of Angstrem’s official educational materials —
each credited with the author’s name and grade.
These are more than just school assignments — they’re small victories
that teach students to think independently and creatively.

Along the way, they build not only 3D models, but also
team culture, spatial imagination, and responsibility for their own work.

Building a Community Beyond Distance

We’re not just developing a remote school — we’re building a
community that feels connected.

Our students come together from all over Ukraine: from frontline cities, temporary homes,
and even from abroad. In the shared virtual space, they find curiosity, support, and confidence in their own abilities.

This has become possible thanks to the ongoing partnership and charitable support of PTC.

In a time when learning often means fighting for stability, your help is more than technology —
it’s trust that keeps us moving forward,
connection that bridges distances,
and belief that helps children see the future not just as a dream,
but as a problem they can solve.

Thank You, PTC

We sincerely thank the PTC team for your steady support, openness, and inspiration.

Together, we prove that even in the most challenging times,
education can be modern, creative, and alive —
and most importantly, it can be our shared mission.

From Ukraine with gratitude…
From Angstrem with heart!
