The Omsk Region hosts the Robofest Omsk Online Robotics Festival

As part of the official opening, the participants of the online event were greeted by Deputy Chairman of the regional Government, Minister of Education of the region Tatyana Dernova, First Deputy Minister of Economy of the region Denis Kushner and Director of the Education Department of Omsk City Hall Larisa Efimova.

The speakers noted that the Omsk region has become a traditional platform that annually unites future engineers from different regions of the country. "You are the future technology leaders. Every year a modern person acquires more and more new technologies. And those who know how to manage these technologies will conquer the whole world. Automation and robotics are developing at a great, good pace. But all these robots and automata are created by humans. And you, the participants of the Robofest, despite your young age, have already learned how to control complex hardware mechanisms and are able to direct your robots to solve useful, sometimes non–trivial tasks," Denis Kushner greeted the participants of the festival.

The Siberian Youth Robotics Festival Robofest Omsk has been held in Omsk since 2016. During this time, it was visited by more than 8 thousand people. The festival is organized by the IT Cluster of Siberia non-profit partnership, the Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Economy of the Omsk Region, the Omsk City Administration and Omsk State Pedagogical University.

The Robefest Omsk Online Festival will be held from March 25 to March 26. The broadcast of the competitions, which will be held daily from 10.00 to 17.00, is available at the link: https://youtu.be/jYKzt7OcpDw.

This year, the festival will host regional and qualifying robotics competitions in 6 areas. Almost 200 teams from 23 regions of Russia, Omsk and the Omsk region are taking part in the competition. The Festival is aimed at supporting and promoting engineering and robotics among young people, so special attention is paid to events that promote the development of design and engineering thinking, and early professional orientation of the younger generation.
