The contest is completely free. We want as many children as possible to have the opportunity to learn about their parents’ profession.
Computer skills are not required. Projects can be created on paper, using toys, or with other available materials.
In Х and Х, we will host livestreams for children and parents where we will share ideas.
It’s information that can be represented as a chart or graph: the height and age of family members, the number of toys, how many books were read in a month, or an analysis of cartoons and computer games.
The child should remain the main author of the work, and the jury will pay attention to this. But parents can help by suggesting ideas, collecting data, taking photos, or explaining new words.
After registration, you will receive a form to upload files. You can attach a photo of a drawing, a craft, or a file with a chart.
In addition to new experiences, shared family creativity, and learning about IT professions, every child will receive a commemorative certificate of participation.
Every project tells a story.
We value works that reflect a child’s world — their passions, favorite things, or family moments. Personality makes every idea shine brighter.
Effort matters.
We celebrate the dedication and focus it takes to complete a project that matches a child’s age and abilities.
Creativity stands out.
Unique ideas, bold colors, and unexpected materials make a project truly memorable.
Clarity counts.
A great project is easy to understand and beautifully presented. It helps others see the idea just as clearly as the creator does.
Accuracy brings it all together.
We appreciate when creativity goes hand in hand with correctness. And when data, details, and imagination work in perfect balance.
