“We will create communities of students and experts who will conduct educational activities for the population, including in modern formats, including hakaton and foresight. Knowledge should help participants implement various projects, understand where to invest, where not, for example, what kind of currency to buy, “said the chairman of the organization’s board, Sergei Shestakov.
He recalled that according to the government’s program “Development of the Digital Economy of Russia” by 2024, 40% of the population should have the relevant digital skills. However, in his opinion, this can not be achieved unless such educational activities are organized.
