The National Technology Initiative (NTI) is a state program of measures to form fundamentally new markets and create conditions for Russia's global technological leadership by 2035.
The NTI Circle Movement Olympiad is an all-Russian multidisciplinary engineering competition for students in grades 8-11. The Olympiad is held in 29 directions in three stages: individual qualifying, team qualifying and final.
Large-scale projects are based on the work of many people, so immediately after the individual stage, in the second qualifying round, the participants of the Olympiad will work as a team, distributing tasks and responsibility for the result among themselves.
