If we note these opportunities, we need to emphasize that students are able to use the abilities of the science and research institutions and Technological center under the Academy of Science of Turkmenistan, which was established 12th of June in 2014, in order to use new interactive methods also to make scientific researches. The distribution of it matched the day of science.

For instance, the students of Programming the Computer System Major are all members of the Engineering club. Depending on the modern technologies and programs they created the game named “Historical monuments of Turkmenistan” which is dedicated to the love and pride for the history of our Motherland. The game was created as the questionary to give knowledge. The work, which was done by the students, have huge impact and provide the multimedia and interactive learning about historical places of Turkmenistan in Turkmen history classes.
