• Programmer Daria Yakovleva: "You shouldn’t be afraid to try something new"

  Computer science isn’t just about knowing how to design algorithms, analyse data or work with functions. First and foremost, it is about creativity, which computer scientists use to solve problems that no one has solved before and to improve both household and industrial processes. Today’s Master’s programs don’t teach theoretical knowledge – Bachelor’s programs should cover that. In Master’s programs students are taught how to apply this knowledge in practice, says Daria Yakovleva, Master’s student from ITMO’s Department of Computer Technologies. We spoke to Daria about taking part in internships, competitions and activities at the university and how that can help one’s future career.

• Neural Interfaces as Art: How Does Neurotheater Work?

  The first performance of the neurotheater took place at the Geek Picnic festival in late June 2017.
