Another interesting workshop was held at «KROK» University during one of the practical classes in the discipline «IoT» (Internet of Things), taught by Volodymyr Trotsko, Associate Professor of Department of Computer Sciences, where students had the opportunity to plunge into the world of modern IoT technologies. From the very beginning, a friendly atmosphere was felt and every step in the classroom space was filled with the expectation of new knowledge.

The students were very enthusiastic about looking at and working with various components and devices that are the basis for creating IoT solutions. They had the opportunity not only to see, but also to experience in practice how to connect the physical and digital worlds with the help of programming and electronics.

For each participant, being present in the classroom and acquiring practical skills was not just learning, but a great experience that will undoubtedly be useful to them in the future. This workshop became a bridge between theoretical knowledge and real projects, where everyone could feel like an innovative engineer.

It is a common practice in the IT community to provide feedback. Therefore, we thank the Department of Student Affairs and Student Council for the opportunity to join the magical universe of art.

On March 02, 2024, «KROK» University hosted an eSports tournament in two games - DOTA 2 and League of Legends - that was expected by many fans of computer games.

Fans of these games actively arrived at the University at the specified address. The tournament organizers met the guests and led them to the shelter, where fans and participants sat comfortably in a special room, watched the broadcast of the matches and waited for their turn to play.  Sometimes it was loud and noisy, but it was all the emotions of the audience.

League of Legends fighters were the first to face off and the winners were determined as a result of the matches:

1st place - Danylo Shumenko from Professional College, group PR-23k.

2nd place - Oleksandr Savchyn from Educational and Scientific Institute of Psychology of «KROK» University, group PS/EKP-22.

The broadcast room was filled with comments and discussions of players' tactics. And when another participant defeated the opponent at the decisive moment of the fight, it was like a "Goal!" at a football match. Eventually, the tournament resulted in the final battle between the two best fighters and the winners of DOTA 2, namely:
