The NSU School Technical Forum is an annual event for all those who are passionate about robotics and engineering design. The forum is held for the 8th year in a row, traditionally organized by NSU with the support of the Novosibirsk Academpark.
— This year, the number of teams participating in the tournament has grown to 134. For comparison: last year there were 123. The guys came from Novosibirsk, Altai Krai, the science city of Koltsovo, Iskitim, Kemerovo and other cities. Many people also took part in the LOGO programming Olympiad, which was held in SUNC NSU. This year, 15 teams competed, which is 45 people, said Elena Vishnevskaya, organizer of the NSU school technical forum.
The goal of the forum is to promote the development of career guidance engineering areas in the system of general and additional education. The forum is aimed at uniting the efforts of teachers, university professors and representatives of high-tech businesses to prepare future engineers.
The forum’s motto “Here you can see the future” is fully confirmed, because only here you can watch the regional qualifying competitions of the RoboCup championship and the open regional youth competitions “Robointel-2.0”, take part in the competition of creative projects of schoolchildren and the Olympiad in LOGO programming for grades 4-7. For the first time, a hackathon on quadcopters was held as part of the event, organized by NSU Advanced Engineering SchoolAt the intensive course, the kids were taught how to program and launch drones.
RoboCup is the most authoritative and annual robotics event in the world. The competition has been held since 1997 to develop robotics and research in the field of artificial intelligence through a spectacular and at the same time technically complex competition. In 10 minutes, the team must bring robots to the stage, demonstrate them and take them away. This year, the team “Quantiki” from the children’s technopark “Quantorium” won in the RoboCupJunior Soccer Rules nomination. The guys demonstrated a unique theatrical robotics performance inspired by the ancient Chinese legend of the Black Dragon.
“Our dragon is the embodiment of our dream. It weighs about 10 kg, we developed it for about a year. The skeleton is assembled from the EV-3 construction set, and the motor is made from the more reliable Tetrix construction set,” explained Anastasia Prytkova, a member of the Quantum team.
— Our team took third place at the Open Russian Robotics Championship “RoboCap Russia – 2024”, which was held from September 12 to 15 in Tomsk. We prepared hard, everyone was very nervous before the performance, and, of course, we are very happy that we took first place, — shared Maxim Kabelin, mentor of the “Quantica” team.
The organizers plan to hold “Fun Races” next year as part of the spring session of the NSU Sports Faculty.
