The Levi Yitzchak Schneerson Jewish Lyceum No. 144, the leading educational institution of the Dnipro Jewish Community, has celebrated outstanding results in the regional Web Programming Olympiad. The competition demonstrated the students’ high level of training and their ability to integrate modern information technology with timeless spiritual values.
The lyceum team consisted of three 7th-grade students: Volodymyr Horokhov, Mykhailo Ostrovskyi, and Lev Kupianskyi. Participants were tasked with building a fully functional website in just three hours on a theme determined by the organizers. This demanded not only solid programming knowledge but also intense focus, quick thinking, and the ability to work under strict time constraints.
The students dedicated their project to hero animals that save lives daily, even under the most difficult conditions. Through their work, they demonstrated that information technology can serve not only as a tool for technical creativity but also as a medium for conveying essential social values—gratitude and respect for those who help save human lives.
At the conclusion of the Olympiad, Mykhailo Ostrovskyi placed 1st, and Volodymyr Horokhov placed 2nd, showcasing outstanding preparation and a creative approach to the assignment. Lev Kupianskyi also represented the lyceum with distinction; he came just a bit short of fully completing his site due to time constraints—further evidence of the competition’s difficulty and the need for maximum focus and swift decision-making.
A key role in preparing the team was played by computer science teacher Olha Borysenko, whose professional guidance, methodological support, and belief in each student’s potential helped the lyceum students perform confidently at the regional level. The lyceum is currently awaiting the official arrival of the diplomas for a formal presentation ceremony.
“We sincerely celebrate the achievements of our students, who have once again proven that the combination of knowledge, perseverance, and value-driven project content yields significant results,” said Svitlana Romenska, deputy principal of the lyceum. “We express our deep gratitude to computer science teacher Olha Borysenko for her professional support of the team, and we thank the Dnipro Jewish Community and Chief Rabbi Shmuel Kaminezki for their ongoing commitment to educational initiatives. Thanks to their support, our students are able to grow, learn, and reach new heights.”
