The program “Midshipman” is prepared within the framework of Volgograd Children’s Center of Technical Creativity and the autonomous non-commercial organization “National Center of Engineering Contests and Competitions”. It is based on the project “Engineering Contests and Competitions” of the road map “Marinet” of the National Technological Initiative. VSTU is the intellectual partner of the realization of the program.
The program started on the 2nd of November within the framework of the regional contest “Initial Technical Modeling”. The young inventors took part in the real naval battle with the flotilla of the radio guided ship models.
