Headline: RAW VIDEO: Ukraine’s First Smart Shelter Opens At The Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute
Caption: Ukraine’s first innovative shelter for students, the CLUST SPACE, opens at the Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute. Throughout the full-scale war that began on February 24, 2022, Ukrainian society faced numerous challenges, including the education of schoolchildren and students, which became complicated and unstable during periods of hostilities. In order to ensure continuous educational processes, the company CLUST and its founder Ruslan Tymofieiev have initiated a project for a smart shelter for CLUST SPACE students. The first smart shelter is planned to be opened in early 2024. CLUST SPACE is a multifunctional secure space designed for learning and student events at higher education institutions in Ukraine. However, it is more than just a bomb shelter with modern renovations. According to Ruslan Tymofieiev, it is a fully-fledged coworking space that will operate on a regular basis even during peaceful times. Ruslan Tymofieiev emphasizes that CLUST SPACE is not just a temporary solution to the problem of education during wartime but a systematic effort toward the development of student life. After the war, it is planned to host student events, presentations, conferences, hackathons, and more. Leading Ukrainian IT companies will also have the opportunity to conduct career orientation events there, fostering connections with technical professionals. The project's initiator, entrepreneur, and founder of the venture builder CLUST, Ruslan Tymofieiev comments: “Even during a full-scale war, the life of our society does not come to a halt. That is our strength. Therefore, Ukrainian youth should have uninterrupted access to knowledge, continue learning, and acquire skills that they can later use for the recovery of Ukraine`s economy. The CLUST SPACE project ensures a safe educational process for students.”
