Charity School
"Smart Future"

The course exceeded all my expectations! What I liked most is that there is almost no filler — every bit of theory is immediately reinforced with real practical tasks and projects.

What I learned: I significantly improved my technical skills, got to grips with new development tools, the logic of building interfaces and code optimisation. In practice I understood how to build interactive applications from scratch, step by step.

How it helped: the course gave me a powerful push forward. I did not just gain new knowledge — I learned to think like a developer: to structure tasks, look for non-standard solutions and take ideas all the way to a finished working product. I gained solid confidence and a clear understanding of how to move further in IT. Highly recommended!

I have been studying at this IT school for 10 years now. It is a place that gives children from vulnerable backgrounds the chance to study, grow and discover new opportunities.

Over these years I gained not only solid knowledge, but also learned to think logically, solve complex problems, not to fear challenges and to keep improving. I am sure these skills will serve me well whichever professional path I choose.

From the bottom of my heart I thank the whole team of the "Smart Future" Charity Fund for believing in me, for the support, quality teaching and sincere care for children's futures. These ten years became a firm foundation that will stay with me forever.

Thank you for everything!

Today my main profession is business process automation and implementing artificial intelligence. The front-end knowledge I gained at the fund became an important advantage for me. It gave me a clear understanding of code logic and web technologies, which helps a lot now that I design complex digital systems for business.

Ukraine's success in such a difficult time depends on the success of every citizen, and I am grateful to the fund for the extraordinary mission they carry out, making quality education more accessible and, as a result, our country better.

Thank you to the "Smart Future" team for a strong community, real opportunities and a quality start in the profession!

Thank you sincerely for the incredible way the classes are organised! As a mother of three, I know well how hard it is to find activities that captivate everyone, but you managed it 100%. My three girls are completely different, with their own characters and interests, yet they are all absolutely delighted with the lessons! Every time they look forward to them.

The material is presented so engagingly, easily and clearly that the children become fully immersed. For me as a mother this is the greatest joy — to see their shining eyes, genuine excitement and independent achievements. You do not just teach, you inspire them to believe in themselves and move forward with confidence. A huge thank you for your work, patience, professionalism and such a warm atmosphere. You are the best team!

Studying at the fund became a very valuable experience for me. It was here that I gained many useful skills that helped me understand which direction I want to grow in.

Now I work in web development and programming: I build websites, develop Telegram bots and work on my own projects. I owe much of my knowledge, skills and self-confidence to studying at the fund.

I sincerely thank the "Smart Future" fund and the whole team for the support, knowledge and opportunities to grow. I wish you success, prosperity and even more grateful students!

On the Python programming basics course I learned a lot of new things and dived into web development — I liked it all very, very much. In that time I absorbed a great deal of new information. I liked how up to date and applicable the knowledge was.

Thanks to the Fund and to you, Ihor Zakalov, I decided on my future profession and chose IT. My dreams have started to come true!!!

This year I was admitted to the Józef Bem Lyceum in Warsaw, to the "Computer graphics, architecture and design" department! I am very grateful to you for your part and help in my life!

Thank you for introducing children to this wonderful world of IT. And not just introducing — you professionally prepare them to be on first-name terms with its many areas. That is crucial today, in a time of rapid change: to be flexible within your chosen professional field. And in the case of my two children it is already about a profession, not merely an interest. I am sure the same is true for many others. Thank you for such an important push and for the support!

The material is presented in an interesting way — useful for anyone who wants to connect their life with IT.

I look back on studying at your school with great warmth. It was here that I first realised that IT is my thing!

The supportive atmosphere and the teachers' faith in their students gave me a powerful push and the confidence to move on. I am now studying Cybersecurity at university, and that early experience helped me adapt faster to the academic challenges in this field. Thank you for believing in me and for opening the door to the world of technology. I am glad my path started with you!

During my school internship in graphic design at an advertising agency, the knowledge I gained in class helped me work productively from day one — on a par with the company's own staff. Even though I had to work with some software that was new to me, I picked it up instantly, because the foundation and general understanding of how such programs work had been laid in our lessons. I feel confident about my professional future, and today I want to keep growing.

Your fund was genuinely interesting — you could try yourself in different areas, from graphic design (Photoshop) to game development (Unity 3D). Web development appealed to me most, because I had practised building websites before. I also tried making games in Unity — that was very hard.

I am now in Germany, moving up to gymnasium (they call it Oberstufe) — I will take the Abitur there, and I will also sit the Ukrainian NMT exam soon.

I really enjoyed the 3D animation course at the "Smart Future" school! What I liked most was creating my first animations — it was incredibly interesting.

Our teacher Yulia is great: she explains things simply and is always supportive. I liked that we could call her by her first name — it made the lessons friendlier.

This course opened a new world for me, and now I want to learn even more!

Studying at the "Smart Future" IT school left my son with very positive impressions. The material was presented clearly and consistently, and the teacher was always ready to help and answer every question. He especially liked that a lot of attention went to practical tasks, which helped consolidate what he had learned.

During the course my son gained new skills that he could already apply in his school lessons. The atmosphere was friendly and motivating, and the curriculum modern and useful. I recommend it to everyone.

Please accept my deep gratitude for giving my son Oleksandr Kompaniiets the opportunity to grow and study in the IT field. Thanks to you he has gained considerable knowledge of modern technology, which will help him both in his intellectual development and in choosing his future profession.

I have been at the IT school for three years now, and I want to thank the "Smart Future" Charity Fund for this opportunity. I dreamed of learning to program and my dream came true! I plan to keep studying and gaining new knowledge.
