KHA-botik — picture a totem for the Kharkiv IT industry

Categories:

KHA-botik is a Kharkiv IT Cluster’s contest where we asked children to picture a totem for the Kharkiv IT industry.

The goal of the project was to create a symbol for the Kharkiv IT Cluster.

The judges were Olga Shapoval, executive director of Kharkiv IT Cluster, Alyona Belyaeva, PR&Communications Manager of Kharkiv IT Cluster, and the leading experts from IT companies: Verzhina Gichunts from Gameloft Ukraine and Natalya Brynza from Artjoker.
