content auto translated from {from}

The opening of a new project “Young VIRPIL” took place at the Grodno Regional Palace of Creativity for Children and Youth. This educational program for children and adolescents is dedicated to the basics of piloting aircraft and familiarizing them with the history of the Great Patriotic War in an accessible, understandable, and engaging manner using the flight simulator “IL-2 Sturmovik: Great Battles”.

The project has been implemented through the joint efforts of VIRPIL Controls and 1C Game Studios. The comprehensive training aims to both impart knowledge to children (basics of aerodynamics, aircraft control, presented in a child-friendly manner) and develop spatial and technical thinking, attention, and responsibility.

The section is open to children and adolescents aged 11 and older (6th grade). The standard duration of the training is 3 academic years. There are plans to expand the program to other Palace of Creativity and leisure places for schoolchildren in the Union State.
