On November 1, the halls of BNTU were buzzing as the Faculty of Information Technology and Robotics (FITR) welcomed prospective students and their families to its Open Day. Booths and posters, live presentations, student projects, and smiling volunteers created an atmosphere where “AI,” “robots,” and “software engineering” felt tangible rather than abstract.
Student mentors greeted visitors at the entrance, happily answering every question and sharing their study experience. Against the backdrop of FITR banners, faculty advisors consulted on academic tracks ranging from Software Engineering to Automation of Technological Processes and Electric Drives.
The demo tables drew the most excitement: mini sprint robots, micro-car “battles,” 3D-printed parts, and electronic control modules. Guests could examine each exhibit up close and talk to its creators. Student teams confidently explained sensors, actuators, control algorithms, and how classroom theory becomes working technology.
An industry partners’ stand also stood out. Representatives of InoTech Solutions showcased production-ready interfaces and analytics modules—clear evidence that theses, practicums, and internships are directly tied to real business tasks. For school students, it answered the key question “Where will I work?”—with engineers, UI developers, and data analysts standing right beside them.
FITR volunteers looked after the guests: some helped fill out participation forms, others spoke about student life, scholarships, and project schools. Tables were stocked with handouts—curricula, the admissions timeline, QR codes to department Telegram channels, and links to fresh news. A small raffle with faculty souvenirs added a festive touch: chocolate “coins,” notebooks, badges, and branded mugs were popular with both students and parents.
Hundreds of visitors passed through the classrooms in just a few hours. Some lingered by the projectors, others dove into internship discussions, and many returned to the robots again and again. That’s why the FITR Open Day is more than an excursion—it’s an honest conversation about the future: what skills engineers need today, what the programs teach, how the labs are organized, and which career tracks open up for graduates.
FITR thanks everyone who came, asked questions, and shared impressions. If you missed the event, follow announcements on the BNTU and faculty websites, check out department pages, and subscribe to our communities—more lab tours, meetings with industry partners, and open lectures are ahead. And for those who have already made their choice—good luck with admissions, and see you in class!
