"MAI traditionally trains strong programmers and creates a practice-oriented environment for their development," highlighted Yulia Selyukova, director of educational programs of Sistema Charitable Foundation, addressing the participants of the hackathon. "In the space and aviation industry Russian specialists are traditionally one of the strongest in the world. The Lift to the Future program has been supporting the development of engineering education for 10 years. We are sure that at the Aviahkaton the participants will learn a lot of new things, work on the topical problems of the industry, and the best solutions will be put into practice".During its existence, Aviahackathon has become one of the full-fledged elements of the large IT environment of the MAI.
