Future engineers
A non-commercial project initiated by the Russian Venture Company JSC (the state fund of funds and the institute for the development of the venture capital market of the Russian Federation) and implemented by the National Technology Initiative Projects Support Fund, in 2018 was approved by the Presidential Council for the Modernization of the Economy and Innovative Development of Russia as a key area of implementation road map of the NTI Circle Traffic. Its goal is to attract the attention of young people and a wide audience to technical creativity, makers, creating their own projects, including in circles operating in institutions of additional education.
In 2020, the competition was held in 4 thematic areas: BIO (bio- and neurotechnology), TECH (creation of new industries and markets), FUN (virtual, augmented and mixed reality, fashion, entertainment, communications, etc.) and ART (projects on the intersection of technology, science and art). In various regions of the country, 872 technological projects were considered.
“The organization of the NTI Circle movement, RUKAMI contests and festivals is carried out with the aim of forming the next generation of entrepreneurs, engineers, scientists, managers capable of offering new technical and technological solutions, creating a business aimed at the development of Russia and the whole world,” the Acting Rector of KBSU commented then on the event , Doctor of Technical Sciences, Laureate of the State Prize of the Russian Federation in the field of science and technology Yuri Altudov. — It is important to invite schoolchildren and students to do something on their own, to provide them with the opportunity to talk about their ideas, to demonstrate drawings, technical developments, do-it-yourself structures. The RUKAMI competition provides such an opportunity. One of its most important tasks, we consider the interaction of young people with scientists, representatives of the manufacturing sector of the economy on career guidance, advisory and technical support. Engineering staff is the basis for the development of production potential. For us, interaction with youth is work for the future. »
