Russia has launched the first international Olympiad in industrial software development for high school students, opening participation to English speakers from around the world.
\nThe competition, known as PROD, gives 8-12th graders a chance to explore how major IT firms develop software and manage large-scale projects. Most stages are held online, allowing students from any country to take part. Partcipants\u00a0will tackle real business tasks, study automation systems, and create digital solutions to boost efficiency and cut costs.
\nNow in its third year, the Olympiad has for the first time gone international, offering participation in both English and Russian. It will be held in several stages between December and March. Finalists will gather in Moscow for the closing team round, with travel and accommodation covered by the organizers.<\/p>\n
