Baku, February 13, 2026 – The Europe Today: The closing ceremony of the 9th BoostCamp project, organized for students during the winter break, was held at Baku Engineering University (BEU), highlighting the institution’s commitment to practical and innovation-driven education.
Speaking at the event, Vagif Gasimov, Dean of the Faculty of Information and Computer Technologies, underscored that the project serves as a dynamic platform for young people aspiring to build careers in information technology and engineering. He emphasized that the team-based learning model and peer support approach are particularly valuable in today’s modern educational environment and expressed confidence that similar initiatives would continue in the future.
Providing insights into the structure and implementation of the program, Project Leader Jafar Huseyn noted that “BoostCamp 9” was conducted in an intensive 10-day format. Participants engaged in meetings with representatives from various companies, attended seminars and workshops, and received mentorship on startup development and idea commercialization. Students also carried out practical activities in the university’s laboratories, working on real-world projects.
A total of 86 students participated in the program under the guidance of 28 experienced mentors, completing a range of practical assignments. Beyond strengthening technical competencies, the initiative also focused on enhancing teamwork, problem-solving abilities and presentation skills.
During the ceremony, students presented projects in Frontend Development, UX/UI Design, Cybersecurity, Data Analytics, Backend (Java and C#), Data Structures and Algorithms, Game Development and Design, and Android Development. The projects incorporated modern programming languages, advanced technological platforms, data processing systems and cybersecurity tools.
Live demonstrations were also conducted by the Robotics-Beginner group, which showcased projects such as “Smart Home,” “Automated Waste Sorting by Color,” and “Elevator,” while the AI + Robotics group presented a “Smart Target System.” Mentors detailed the technological solutions, algorithms and functional capabilities implemented in each project.
The BoostCamp 9 initiative once again demonstrated that innovative, practice-oriented training programs play a crucial role in the professional growth of young people and significantly contribute to shaping their future career success.
The project was organized in alignment with the United Nations’ 4th Sustainable Development Goal (Quality Education), reaffirming BEU’s dedication to advancing high-quality, inclusive and future-focused learning opportunities.
