“The program of the in-person session was designed in such a way as to assess the ability of participants to solve tasks in conditions of maximum employment during the day. At the same time, along with trainings and master classes, the program provided for excursions and classes in the gym,” said Andrey Kolotukhin. “During the in-person session, I was developing a project for installation of electric charging stations for electric vehicles. Given the rapidly increasing number of electric vehicles, I think the development of infrastructure for their operation is the most promising for the Smolensk region.”
