Weather station, wind turbine, flower clock: the winners of the "Time to Act, Kanivshchyna!" contest have set up a geographical playground on the site of a vacant lot

The project was implemented by the team of the Taras Shevchenko Kaniv Secondary School No. 1.

"The school team literally saw an opportunity... in a vacant lot not far from the school. By bringing together teachers and technical staff, students and parents, benefactors and partners, they created an open-air nature and ecology center on the territory that had been unused for years," MHP Community said.

Now, the former wasteland is a real geographical playground with devices for researching and measuring natural phenomena: a weather station, a rain gauge, a wind generator, a relaxation path, a flower clock, and even a demonstration model of a river. The school activists implemented this initiative thanks to our contest "Time to Act, Kanivshchyna!" and the support of the Education Department of the Kaniv City Council.

"We are pleased that from now on, lessons in natural sciences, excursions and interesting leisure activities will be held here," the statement said.
