In addition to the competitions, the Robofest will feature an entertaining quest with prizes, a science show, and the Technar 2019 engineering Professions fair. The fair will clearly show students the educational trajectory from an educational institution of higher or secondary education to work at an enterprise or in an IT company, working conditions and career opportunities. This is a great way for applicants and their parents to communicate directly with representatives of Omsk enterprises and universities!
