The Coordination Center for TLD .RU/.РФ announced the opening of registration for the ninth Study the Internet & Govern It national online championship. School and university students under 18 are invited to participate. There will be individual and team tournaments.
Registration is open until November 9.
The competitions will begin on November 10 and will be held online, at the website of the Study the Internet & Govern It project, where all registered participants will have access to a tournament module with six sets of interactive tasks.
Internet culture is the main theme of the online championship this year: its tasks are dedicated to digital subculture, internet etiquette and slang, the fourth industrial revolution, the digital economy, job transformation in the era of new technologies, generational theory and cyber literacy.
One of the task sets is related to multilingualism on the internet: its participants will work on the criteria for Universal Acceptance of internationalized domain names (IDN) and email addresses (EAI) as well as try their hand as coders.
Participants can already earn their first online championship points by completing a bonus task: to make an infographic or publish news on the championship on the social media accounts or the website of their educational institution.
The results of the online championship will be available on December 8. The participants who place in the top five in the individual and team tournaments will receive certificates and valuable prizes (a tablet, smartphone, smart watch, 3D pen, or Bluetooth earphones). Participants who do not finish at the top will get personalized online certificates.
