From 26 September to 16 October, students of 1-11 grades of the Moscow region take part in "The lesson of numbers". The lesson is dedicated to artificial intelligence in startups.

"The new season of the Federal Project "The lesson of numbers" has started. Artificial intelligence is a field that widely develops today. For instance, in the Moscow region, a neural network helps to identify a problem from a photo, advises entrepreneurs or makes an appointment with a doctor. I think students will be interested in learning more about the possibilities of modern technologies," Nadezhda Kurtyanik, Minister of Public Administration, Information Technology and Communications of the Moscow Region, emphasized.

As part of the Project, students will learn about "technological startups" and learn in practice about the main stages of their development. Participants will be able to watch a video lecture, where information is presented in an accessible and interesting way for schoolchildren of any age. To consolidate knowledge in practice, the children will have the opportunity to go through a game simulator. A special mobile version for completing tasks at home has also been developed: one only needs a phone and access to the Internet.

The purpose of "The lesson of numbers" is to form the key competencies of the digital economy among schoolchildren, as well as to stimulate early career guidance for children in the field of information technology. The initiators of the event are the Ministry of Education of Russia, the Ministry of Digital Development of Russia and ANCO "Digital Economy".
