Ksenia Balabaeva, an ITMO staff member, became a mentor for the participants of the Developing Talent contest organized by Gazprom Neft. Ksenia helped gifted school students solve IT problems inspired by the needs of today’s oil and gas industry.
This spring, the final round of the Developing Talent competition brought together talented students to deal with not abstract problems, as happens frequently in regular competitions, but real cases based on the requests of energy companies.
The competition includes several stages. First, participants learn what technologies oil and gas companies use and how these IT products help them reduce costs and increase the safety of mining, transportation, processing, and sales. Then, working in groups, they research one of the proposed cases.
