Over the course of two days, young men aged 12 to 17 from various regions of Russia competed for the title of the best. Despite their youth, these students already possess a deep understanding of the global programming world.

The prizes were distributed as follows:

In the nomination “Python Programming” in the age category of 12-14, the 1st place was taken by Arseny Tarakanov (IT Cube Center, Almetyevsk), the 2nd - Ernest Khusnutdinov (IT Cube Center, Almetyevsk); the 3rd - Vladislav Kazanbayev (IT Cube Center, Knyaginino).

At the conclusion of the All-Russian Hackathon, Ruslan Turdiev, the director of the Center for Digital Education for children at “IT-Cube Alabuga,” presented diplomas to the winners. Furthermore, all contestants were given certificates of participation and received memorable gifts as tokens of appreciation for their efforts.

The participants of the competition were amazed by the technical resources at Polytech; some students even expressed interest in pursuing further studies there. For example, 12-year-old Daniyar Khaliullin from Almetyevsk was particularly impressed by the variety of hands-on classes available at the educational center.

"I have learned many new things since arriving here to gain knowledge. I am impressed by Alabuga Polytech's advanced technology and extensive practical experience. I am planning to enroll here," shared Daniyar, expressing his views.

In 2022, the Center for Digital Education for children, known as "IT-Cube Alabuga," was established within the expansive educational complex of Alabuga Polytech. This center caters to schoolchildren aged 7 to 16, offering supplementary education in various fields including Python Programming, System Administration, Robot Programming, Mobile Development, VR/AR Application Development, Cyber Hygiene, and Big Data Management.

In the Republic of Tatarstan, 2024 has been declared the Year of Scientific and Technological Development. The Alabuga Special Economic Zone (SEZ) is actively participating in this initiative. For instance, Alabuga STEM international scientific conference was held this week.
