On December 4, MTUCI hosted a Computer Science Day, organized by the MTUCI Student Scientific Society with the support of the Youth Council of the Coordination Center for TLD .RU/.РФ.
Head of the Coordination Center’s Department for Work with Registrars and Users Georgy Georgievsky delivered a lecture for the students, Internet infrastructure and domain names. Georgy described what the internet is, what kinds of domain names there are, how routing works, and which internet protocols exist. He also spoke about the founding fathers of the internet, creators of the TCP and IP protocols Robert Kahn and Vinton Cerf, and specifically focused on Viktor Glushkov, a scientist who stood at the origins of computer science and cybernetics in the Soviet Union. The students also learned about organizations that manage IP addresses and domain names and how the domain registration system works in Russia and the world.
Georgy also stressed that it was on December 4, 1993, when the largest Russian internet providers signed a historic agreement On the Procedure for Administering the .RU Zone.
After the lecture, the Digital World intellectual brain ring with three competing student teams was held. The brain ring was based on questions from the Study the Internet & Govern It! quiz and tasks designed by members of the MTUCI student scientific society.
The intellectual games continued with an intra-university Olympiad in quantum programming and the MTUCI student championship in sudoku, the participants of which received prizes from the Study the Internet & Govern It! project and MTUCI.
