May 22nd in Struga was absolutely amazing! At the primary school “Brakja Miladinovci” in Struga, we celebrated the grand finale of our regional Science Fair and hosted the 4th Science Fair under the Johnson Matthey “Science and Me” community impact program.

Over 30 exceptionally talented sixth-grade students, guided by their natural sciences teachers, presented their innovative projects to an enthusiastic audience of more than 150 peers from the host school and other local schools. These young scientists came from:

• Primary School “Brakja Miladinovci” in Struga, under the mentorship of teacher Shronjza Tela
• Primary School “Pere Toshev” from Rosoman, under the mentorship of teacher Vesna Okardova
• Primary School “7 Marsi” from Chelopek, under the mentorship of teacher Ajtene Ademi
• Primary School “Emin Duraku” from the village Bukovikj in the municipality of Saraj, Skopje, under the mentorship of teacher Semial Sinani

The students’ projects reflected a deep understanding of scientific principles and a creative approach to problem-solving, impressing everyone in attendance.

We are incredibly grateful to the “Brakja Miladinovci” school for their warm hospitality and open-heartedness. Their support and enthusiasm set the perfect stage for this celebration of young scientific minds. A huge shoutout goes to the amazing Johnson Matthey volunteers—Vesa, Ivana, Marјan, and Bojan—whose dedication embodies the company’s commitment to volunteerism and corporate social responsibility. Their contributions were invaluable, making this event truly memorable!

Our heartfelt thanks also go to our corporate partners—Kostal Macedonia, Triglav Osiguruvanje Makedonija, Alkaloid AD Skopje, and WVP Fund Management AD Skopje—and our supporters Trimaks and Literatura.mk. Their unwavering support enables us to inspire, encourage, and educate young minds. Through their contributions, we aim to spark a lifelong passion for science in primary school students and empower them to explore the wonders of the scientific world.

Together, through the power of science and education, we are forging a brighter future for everyone.

The energy and enthusiasm displayed by the students and their teachers at the Science Fair are a testament to the transformative impact of our efforts.
