In connection with the COVID-19 pandemic, the student competition was held online. Our students worked together with students from Austria, Belgium, Israel, Poland, Spain and Ukraine, which gave them the opportunity to gain experience working in international teams. In total, 39 students and 27 mentors from 12 higher education institutions from Ukraine (4 HEIs), the European Union (4 HEIs) and Israel (2 HEIs) took part in the summer school.

In addition to solving problems, students listened to lectures on how to properly develop a business plan for their decision, what to use technical capabilities for this; on the prospects for the development of Industry 4.0 and the challenges of the era of smart technologies and vision for the development of embedded systems; how to build a three-dimensional model from photographs and what software to use for this purpose, as well as had the opportunity to watch video lectures on programming in Python, recorded in our HEIs.
