An award ceremony for the winning projects of the 2026 Armenian School Science Festival was held at the Presidium Building of the National Academy of Sciences of the Republic of Armenia. During the ceremony, Hripsime Galstyan, a ninth-grade student in Class 9C at the Gazprom Armenia CJSC Educational and Sports Complex, was awarded first prize.

It should be noted that ninth-grade students Miguel Arzanyan and Hripsime Galstyan, under the guidance of their Geography teacher, Lusine Hakobyan, have advanced to the final stage of the Armenian School Science Festival 2026.

The festival brought together 140 students from 40 educational institutions across Yerevan and various regions of Armenia, who presented a total of 78 innovative research projects. Hripsime’s study, titled “Development of a Tourism Website for Kotayk Province with Route Mapping,” was recognized as the best project in the Social Sciences category.

We congratulate our student and her teacher on this remarkable achievement and wish them continued success and many more accomplishments in the future.
