INFOMATRIX-2024 Finals: Ukrainian Students Shine on Global Stage
From May 31 to June 3, 2024, Bucharest, Romania, hosted the international finals of the INFOMATRIX-2024 computer project competition.
This year, the competition brought together 280 students from 17 countries, showcasing 165 projects. Ukraine was represented by a team of 18 students from Zhytomyr, Kyiv, Odesa, Kharkiv, and Chernihiv with 12 projects. The participants competed in five categories: Programming, Computer Art, Hardware Control, Short Movie, and Hackathon.
The jury evaluated both the projects and the English-language presentations of the participants. As a result of the competition, the Ukrainian team earned 5 bronze, 6 silver, and 1 platinum medal.
Bronze medals were awarded to young talents from Odesa:
- Ruslan Maysko and Ivan Zmiyevskoy, 8th grade students from Odesa Lyceum No. 65 for their project "The Meaning of Life and My Place in It" (supervised by computer science teacher Alla Omelchenko);
- Yegor Bovkun, a 10th grade student from Odesa Lyceum No. 65 for his project "Model of the World's First Helicopter" (supervised by computer science teacher Oleg Pustovoyt).
This recognition on the international stage demonstrates the strong potential of our students in the field of information technology.
Since 2009, Ukraine has been a regular participant in the INFOMATRIX world finals. The National Ecological and Naturalistic Center for Student Youth of the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine traditionally organizes the selection of finalists and the participation of the team in the finals.
