Volodymyr Chop, an expert on the history of the “Old Machine,” accompanied the walk with fascinating stories, humorous interludes, and personal memories, which made the journey truly warm and lively. The guests were particularly impressed by the majestic assembly hall and library, which have preserved their authenticity since their founding. Participants had the opportunity to walk through the corridors and classrooms, literally touching the history of one of the oldest technical institutions in the region.

It promises to be even more extensive: visitors will be able to see historical artifacts not only in the main building, but also throughout the territory of the former “technical school estate” and its surroundings. To new discoveries and new meetings with the “Old Machine”!

JurLab: How Artificial Intelligence is Changing Legal Education

Half a year ago, the JurLab educational AI-bot was introduced into the education of students at the Faculty of Law of Zaporizhzhya Polytechnic University. Initially, the bot functioned as a simulator of legal situations, where students acted out role models of a prosecutor, lawyer, investigator or human rights defender, analyzed ethical dilemmas and made decisions. But in half a year, JurLab evolved into a full-fledged educational tool with its own "legal core". Thanks to the introduction of API integrations, the bot gained access to key international legal sources: - HUDOC API - the base of decisions of the European Court of Human Rights - OHCHR API - international recommendations of the UN in the field of human rights This means that JurLab has become not only a simulator, but also a dynamic knowledge base that allows students not only to respond to simulated situations, but also to rely on real legal sources. "JurLab was not created to replace the teacher, but to strengthen the student's thinking. Previously, students learned norms abstractly. Now they can immediately check their decision through the decision of the ECtHR or the recommendations of the UN — as it happens in real legal practice," notes the author of the project, Yuriy Gavrilov. The bot is already actively used in practical classes and promotes the development of critical, ethical and analytical thinking of future specialists. The project continues to develop: new scenarios, group formats of work are being prepared, and there is a possibility of inter-university cooperation. The author of the project is Yuriy Gavrylov, associate professor of the Department of Constitutional, Administrative and Labor Law, head of the department of the Zaporizhia Regional Prosecutor's Office, as well as the founder of the student legal community YGen, an expert in artificial intelligence and a certified teacher of Google AI.
