What teams think about participation in the online innovation tournament
Frankly speaking, I liked the STEM tournament because of the process of discussing ideas. We managed to unite all our opinions and thoughts to create something really amazing — our idea. Moreover, the project gave us a chance to learn some new things related to modern technologies. I also found the task to be rather creative.

Two weeks ago we started working with our mentor Vyacheslav Razovskiy. We can definitely say that we are very lucky to work with Vyacheslav, because, first of all, he has an enormous experience and helps us find solutions in situations when we would probably not able to make a decision and move forward without help.

Why STEM is important
“In the 21st century, scientific and technological innovations have become increasingly important as we face the benefits and challenges of both globalization and a knowledge-based economy. To succeed in this new information-based and highly technological society, students need to develop their capabilities in STEM to levels much beyond what was considered acceptable in the past.” (National Science Foundation)
