Hi! I am Dani, I have finished this year Aerospace Engineering in Madrid and I participated in the HTM course in 2019. All I can say is that it is one of those experiences that I will never forget. Not only because of how much I learned, that has helped me a lot in the development of my startup, I also met wonderful people who are my friends. Finally, the opportunity to discover Russia, both Moscow and St. Petersburg. I totally recommend it, those days were amazing.

Thanks to HTM summer school and all the contributors and volunteers. I really enjoyed this summer program. I learned a lot around high technology management and I could visit some factories and labs in Samara. During the days I was in Russia, I got the chance to meet new friends from different countries, also to experience Russian culture.

I visited Russia few years earlier and had been looking for a chance to come back since then and this summer school serves as a perfect opportunity to return. Honestly, I didn’t know this city existed at all until I heard about it, here in Samara. In addition to Samara, there is also a trip to Moscow and St. Petersburg. Now I can read Russian, cook Russian food, and now I’m eager to pursue master degree in Samara University.

I attended the High Technology Management School at Samara University during June-July 2019. I got to know about the various topics of management and got the chance to see some really beautiful aircraft laboratories and museums. I also travelled to Moscow and St.Petersburg and it was worthwhile. I’m still in touch with all the participants and the people of the University. It was really amazing and unforgettable experience.

The classes were good for the most part, a few of them were very engaging. The activities apart from the academic stuff were a ton of fun, super memorable and pretty interesting. Trip to Moscow and St. Petersburg was particularly amazing. Overall the entire thing felt pretty organized from day to day, although I remember sometimes feeling confused as to what was supposed to happen the next day but everything seemed to work out.

Robotics and Mechatronics school offered by Samara University was an awesome experience. I would totally recommend it to any student who is looking for a nice equilibrium between having a fun and learning. The volunteers, lecturers, people from the robotics club, organisers, participants were so open and enthusiastic that I loved building a robot in Samara as much as visiting Moscow and St. Petersburg.
