Three teams of NTU «KhPI» take part in the 18th global hackathon IEEExtreme 18.0, which takes place on October 26. These are two teams of students from the Department of Multimedia and Internet Technologies and Systems and one from the Department of Computer Mathematics and Data Analysis of Kharkiv Polytechnic. In total, ten teams represent Ukraine at the competition. The event brought together almost twenty thousand participants, more than two thousand observers (proctors), and more than eight hundred student organizations from seventy-five countries.
The aim of the competition is to teach and expand students’ professional competencies in programming in a playful way, as well as to increase their interest in complex interdisciplinary tasks.
Three teams from NTU «KhPI»: «CodeRoots», «CyberCossacs» and «CloudBoba» are participating in the 18th global hackathon IEEExtreme 18.0. Students of the Department of Multimedia and Internet Technologies and Systems (MITS) and the Department of Computer Mathematics and Data Analysis (CMDA) of the Educational and Scientific Institute of Computer Science and Information Technology of NTU «KhPI» are competing for prizes.
On the eve of the IEEExtreme 18.0 hackathon, Kharkiv Polytechnic teams met with Andriy Marchenko, Vice-Rector for Research at NTU «KhPI», who wished the students success in the competitions.
The team «CodeRoots» consisted of department MITS students Yevgeniy Glebov, Andriy Skiba, and Dmitry Teploukhov. Coach: Associate Professor Anna Zavolodko, «CyberCossacs» team was represented by MITS students Kirill Kolomiyets, Anatoly Burachinsky, and Maxim Krainev. Coach: Professor Georgii Kozhevnikov, and the «CloudBoba» team was represented by students of the KMAD Department Pavlo Pasko, Dmytro Roshchupkin, and Dmytro Kazakov. Coach: Senior Lecturer Mykola Aslandukov. For 24 hours, they compete in solving complex programming problems, demonstrating their knowledge and persistence.
We would like to note that the observer (proctor) of the teams is Hanna Zavolodko, a member of the world’s largest professional technical organization for the promotion of technology, IEEE. The teams were sponsored by IT company «Kitrum». In particular, it created comfortable conditions for the teams to participate in the competition, reimbursed the entry fees of the NTU «KhPI» teams for participation in the IEEE tournament, and prepared delicious gifts and souvenirs for the players.
We would like to note that the IEEExtreme hackathon is an annual online event held since 2006 to train and expand professional skills in programming, as well as to interest students in solving interdisciplinary problems. In 2024, the tournament brought together nearly twenty thousand participants, more than two thousand proctors, more than eight hundred student chapters, and one hundred and fifty-four IEEE sections from seventy-five countries. Ukraine is represented by ten teams.
We congratulate the students of Kharkiv Polytechnic on their decently debut in the international arena. We wish them success and victories!
Note:
IEEExtreme has been held annually since 2006 in an online format. The goal is to playfully teach and expand professional competencies in the field of programming, as well as to increase students’ interest in complex interdisciplinary tasks. The tournament lasts for 24 hours, during which time participants compete with each other by solving programming tasks.
To register and participate in the competition, you must be a member of the IEEE the world’s largest professional technical organization dedicated to the advancement of technology. In addition, each team must have at least one proctor (observer) who is a member of the IEEE organization at a higher level than the participants to monitor the competition process.
