Skoltech Institute of Science and Technology begins the Olympiad NTI student track

Skoltech is one of the first universities to organize the selection of Master’s students using engineering team competitions.

The NTI Olympiad is an all-Russian initiative aimed at discovering teams of talented youth. The new NTI Olympiad format is for students, and Skoltech became one of the first universities to implement it. The Skoltech Space Center is opening the “Aerospace Systems” track.

On 15 April at Skoltech’s new campus, the Aerospace Systems final began; participants will solve the problem regarding the search for water on another planet. A Martian launch site has been developed specially for the final, where autonomous, remote-controlled, and pre-programmed rovers will search for and detect liquid.

The technological platforms available for solving the problem are “Robot Operating System” and “Raspberry Pi;” these allow for the activation of different equipment, both for navigation and for processing the payload.

The main reward for the winners is free Master’s studies for students graduating courses; for participants in the first three courses, there is an internship under the guidance of field experts.
