The Coordination Center for TLD .RU/.РФ and the ANO Digital Region of the Ryazan Region implemented a joint project to integrate two educational platforms aimed at improving the digital literacy of Runet users: the games “Study the Internet & Govern It!” and educational social network “Дети.Digital”.

“The Coordination Center for TLD .RU/.РФ takes an active part in the development of projects aimed at the digital transformation of the regions. As part of the Digital Transformation of the Ryazan Region, the project “Study the Internet & Govern It!” became part of the Digital educational and career guidance platform for the support and development of talents “Дети.Digital”. We really hope that as a result of our joint work with ANO "Digital Region", more children and teenagers, as well as parents and teachers will be able to use the educational portal "Knowledge" of the project “Study the Internet & Govern It!” and increase the level of their digital competencies,” said Andrey Vorobyev, Director of the Coordination Center.

The “Дети.Digital” project was established by ANO Digital Region with the support of the Ministry of Digital Development, Information Technologies and Communications of the Ryazan Region. It provides a platform for identifying, supporting and developing talent in mathematics, computer science and technology. The platform allows students, using innovative digital methods, to determine the trajectory for the development of their future professional skills that are in demand in the real sector of the economy and choose an additional education program for themselves from those offered in the region. “Every child is talented, and our task is to identify his inclinations as early as possible and offer development options so that he can reveal himself as fully as possible. After all, the success of our country is the success of every child,” the ANO “Digital Region” notes.

“Study the Internet & Govern It!” has been implemented since 2012 by the Coordination Center for TLD .RU/.РФ with the support of PJSC Rostelecom and helps different generations of users to learn about digital technologies, become an experienced Internet user and learn how to surf the Internet safely. Also among the objectives of the project is to arouse the interest of students in professions one way or another related to digital technologies. The project's knowledge base contains useful information on a wide variety of topics related to information technology. For almost 10 years of its existence more than 150 thousand children took part in the “Study the Internet & Govern It!”. The portal features more than 130 games and 750 quiz questions on a variety of Internet topics - from the history of the network to the rules of behavior on the Internet and the basics of information security.

The X Anniversary Championship in the game “Study the Internet & Govern It!” is going to be held in 2021. Registration starts on August 17, and the championship itself will be held on November 9-25. The theme of the 2021 anniversary championship will be "Digital State".
