IT KickStart 2026 - a day of new opportunities

On April 18, we gathered more than 150 schoolchildren from the city and region who took their first step towards the world of technology, new opportunities and a future career in IT 💙

The participants learned more about the IT industry in Ukraine, heard real stories from the professional path of specialists, received useful advice on starting a career and joined a practical master class on creating computer games 🎮

Thank you to our speakers: Dmytro Shkilnyuk, Andriy Dorosh and Bohdan Havrylts for their openness, experience and sincere advice💙

A special part of the event was our friends - the 82nd separate Bukovyna airborne assault brigade. The students had a unique opportunity to try themselves as UAV pilots and get to know modern technologies that help protect Ukraine today.

Special thanks to the departments of Chernivtsi National University and Chernivtsi Polytechnic Vocational College for joining the event, talking with the participants, and helping them better understand their IT opportunities.

Thank you to the partners who helped make this day even better: the security company TIGR for providing security at the event, and the English language school CLA for gifts for the participants 🎁

IT KickStart is an opportunity to find your direction and make the first conscious choice.
