"Youth Design" is a unique competition! We see real clients in this project. Polytechnic University has been participating in the competition for five years now, and I've had the opportunity to witness the project gaining popularity. New interesting partners are emerging, and regular clients are returning. "For students, this is a great opportunity to try their hand at working with real-life cases as part of the educational process, and most importantly, to see the fruits of their labor realized," noted Tatyana Diodorova, associate professor at the Higher School of Design and Architecture and mentor for the "Apple Code" and Benois-Benois project school categories.
