The competition was organized by GlobalLogic as part of GlobalLogic Education. 105 teams from 42 schools and 16 cities of Ukraine have submitted their projects. About 80% of the initiatives covered the technical direction of training. Almost half of all projects were ideas for creating online courses and digitizing existing curricula. At the same time, almost every team had not only teachers but also students. This indicates the interest of young people in the development of Ukrainian education.
