The course "TechWay ZP: choose your future in tech" has ended

On June 12, the participants were gathered for the final of the course, implemented by the Center for the Support of Public Initiatives “Free UA” and the “Zaporizka Polytechnic” NU.

— 3D printing — working with the Bambulab slicer: adjusting printing parameters and creating real 3D objects; teachers — Dmytro Perveev and Vladyslav Nikulin
— graphic design — mastering the Canva platform: design principles and the world of virtual reality; teachers are Oleksandr Yelagin and Darya Khmara

Also, as part of the project, a career orientation meeting was organized for students of Zaporizhia Gymnasium No. 106 with a successful graduate of the school, director of the Center “Education for Business”, professor of NU “Zaporizhia Polytechnic” Anastasia Zerkal, dedicated to the creation of a business idea.
