Cultural and entertainment program

From the entertainment program I remember a trip to Universal Park, which the company booked only for summit visitors. Engineers from all over the world enthusiastically tested the strength of the roller coaster, SpiderMan and other entertainment structures. None of the engineers and of the constructions was hurt)

And it is very pleasant to announce that in 2013 the team from KhAI won the international competition of student projects Worldwide Student Programming Cometition , under the leadership of Alexander Borisovich Leshchenko and earned a prize for himself and the institute in the amount of 10 thousand dollars.

The leader of the development team, Andrei Guk, personally received a prize from Robert Nagle, vice president of software development at InterSystems.
