The final of the international Olympiad “IT-Planet” was held in Moscow. This is one of the largest technology competitions for young people in Russia and the CIS countries. The program of this year’s Olympiad included 15 innovation competitions. Awards were received by 81 winners from 24 regions of our country, as well as from Belarus. Among the winners were also polytechnicians. All of them represented the Institute of Computer Science and Cybersecurity.
The final of the Olympiad brought together about 600 participants, including college and university students, young professionals, teachers and representatives of leading Russian IT companies. The total prize fund was over two million rubles. The winners received not only cash prizes and diplomas, but also a chance for career growth: the opportunity to undergo industrial training in leading Russian companies and get into the database of promising IT specialists.
A team headed by Associate Professor of the Higher School of Artificial Intelligence Technologies of the Institute of Computer Science and Engineering Oleg Sabinin did a great job of preparing SPbPU students for the Olympiad. Master’s students of the Higher School of Artificial Intelligence Technologies of the Institute of Computer Science and Engineering A. Gubeeva and D. Amelchenko prepared tests and consulted the students. A great contribution to the team’s preparation was made by IKNC postgraduate student R. Turusov, who composed excellent training problems.
In the finals, the Polytechnicians performed brilliantly in the “Postgres PRO DBMS” competition.
First place — Ivan Maksimov, 3rd year student of VShTII. Second place — Vladimir Plakhotnikov, 2nd year student of VShPI. Third place — Evgeny Zhabko, 4th year student of VShTII.
Polytechnic graduates Artem Sukhov and Alexey Sankov, as well as 3rd year student of the Institute of Culture and Science Kristina Marchenko, took high places in the Olympiad.
“At the IT Planet Olympiad in Moscow, I competed in the database competition (PostgreSQL). It was a great experience! Not only because I was able to test my skills in writing complex SQL queries and win prizes, but also because I had the opportunity to listen to IT experts. They shared current trends and real cases,” said Ivan Maksimov. “I especially remember the tasks where it was necessary to solve algorithmic problems, trying to fit into the minimum amount of code – this required both an understanding of PostgreSQL and an unconventional approach. It was also great to communicate with other participants who were also interested in databases. In between stages, I managed to walk around the capital, which made the trip both useful and enjoyable.”
“The Olympiad program included tasks on optimizing SQL queries, which allowed me to test and deepen my knowledge in the field of information processing. I was able to communicate with participants from other educational institutions and experts, which contributed to the exchange of professional experience,” Vladimir Plakhotnikov shared his impressions. “I took second place – for me, this was a significant achievement. Participation in the Olympiad fully met expectations and gave a lot of useful knowledge.”
“We visited Moscow once again and took part in the Olympiad. I really like feeling like part of such a large-scale event. Many thanks to the organizers for the opportunity to prove myself,” commented Evgeny Zhabko. “Special thanks, of course, go to my mentor and teacher, Oleg Yuryevich Sabinin. It is difficult to overestimate the contribution he makes to the development of the Polytechnic University. The results speak for themselves: the top 5 in the “Postgres Pro DBMS” competition are students and graduates of our university. Special thanks to my friend Vu Hoai Nam for his help and support.”
