Computer Science Day in Russia
December 4 · Level 8 · #593 of 2238
A professional and educational day for people who write programs, teach coding and study information technology. It is a reminder of how much computer science matters in science, the economy and everyday life.
How it is celebrated: schools and universities hold programming contests, open lectures and workshops. Companies run hackathons and meet-ups with developers, and pupils try writing their first lines of code.
The date is usually linked to 4 December 1948, when Isaak Brook and Bashir Rameev received an author's certificate for a digital electronic computer, one of the earliest inventions of its kind in the USSR.
