ULABS Physics at Kyiv-Mohyla Academy

At the recent Open Day at the National University of Kyiv-Mohyla Academy, prospective students had the opportunity to explore modern STEM learning tools, including our ULABS Physics kits.

Seeing ULABS showcased at one of Ukraine’s leading universities highlights a growing demand for hands-on science education that helps students connect theory with real-world experimentation.

As part of the event, visitors could see how physics concepts become tangible through practical laboratory activities.

💬 Valerii Petruk, Head of ULABS Innovations:

“During the Open Day, we presented our ULABS Physics kits to future students and educators. It was exciting to see genuine interest and curiosity from visitors. Many asked how these tools help make physics more interactive and easier to understand. When students can experiment, test ideas, and observe results firsthand, science becomes much more engaging and meaningful.”

At ULABS, we believe STEM education should be practical, accessible, and inspiring.
Because physics is best understood when students can explore it with their own hands.

At UNOWA, we believe the best educational solutions are created by people, for people.

Our products — including MIKKO and U-Labs — are designed by a multidisciplinary team of parents, educators, engineers, and methodologists. We combine personal experience with deep professional expertise to create solutions that are simple to use, yet built on sophisticated methodologies and technology.

For us, education technology is never just about the product itself. Real impact happens when schools, teachers, and students receive not only tools, but also the training, guidance, and support needed to implement them effectively.

That is why we build ecosystems rather than standalone products.

Whether supporting inclusive education through MIKKO or advancing STEM learning with U-Labs, our goal remains the same: to make high-quality education more accessible, practical, and transformative for every learner.

Because when innovation is designed with people in mind, education becomes more inclusive, more effective, and more human.

“What is autism in simple words?” — a question asked by a 12-year-old autistic boy Kyrylo Kalitkin to Alexander Sorokin, an expert in inclusive education.

The result is an honest and insightful conversation about autism spectrum disorder (ASD), school support, sensory sensitivities, emotional regulation, and why inclusive education benefits everyone.

What makes this interview especially meaningful is that the questions come directly from a child with autism, focusing on what truly matters to autistic children and their families.

A child is having a meltdown now.
The specialist appointment is tomorrow.
What happens in between?

This is where most support systems break down.
Families of children with special educational needs do not only need long-term programs and expert consultations. They also need immediate, practical support in real time — especially in difficult moments that cannot be postponed.

At UNOWA, we see AI not as a trend, but as infrastructure for faster and more accessible support.

What used to take up to two months — building an Individual Development Plan — can now take five minutes.
But the more important shift is not only speed of planning.

It is real-time guidance.

When a parent is facing a crisis situation in the evening, they cannot always call a specialist. They need a reliable response here and now.
That is why we are developing a more human-centered approach to AI in inclusive education: an AI assistant trained not on generic internet data, but on practical protocols, specialist knowledge, and years of real-world experience.

This changes the role of technology.
AI stops being just a productivity tool.
It becomes a support layer for families.
A way to reduce response time.
A way to make expertise available when it is needed most.

For us, this is what meaningful EdTech looks like: not more noise, but more usable support.
Because in inclusive education, the value of technology is measured by one question:
Does it help in the moment when support cannot wait?

In the full interview, UNOWA co-founder Mykhailo Kalitkin explains why this problem is personal, why generic AI cannot solve it, and what kind of expert-driven AI support families actually need.

Innovation in education is easy to discuss.

What is much harder is building tools that teachers can actually use.

Oleksandr Dorosh, Head of ULabs at UNOWA, has been part of this journey since day one — helping transform advanced technologies into educational products designed for schools.

With 8 years of experience in EdTech and a master’s degree in Artificial Intelligence, he leads projects that connect hardware, software, and pedagogy into one practical system.

At ULabs, this means developing STEM equipment that goes beyond demonstration.

It means:
• wireless connection to a digital laboratory
• real-time data collection
• AI-supported insights
• deeper engagement in physics, chemistry, and biology learning

This matters because schools do not need more disconnected tools.

They need systems that help teachers teach better and help students explore further.

That is the real role of EdTech: not to impress with technology, but to make learning clearer, stronger, and more effective.
