Annotation: The article considers the hackathon as a new way of project training. The analysis of the hackathon as an interactive method of learning based on the relevant academic literature and generalization of experience in the education system. Project activities are aimed at acquiring the necessary competencies of students, their motivation to learn modern information and communication technologies, the formation of teamwork skills. The article presents the rules and principles of the organization of project activities of students, the characteristic of the method of projects in terms of the development of modern specialist. The possibilities of organization of project activity of students with the use of hackathon are demonstrated. The conditions of using the hackathon as a pedagogical method, which allows students to improve the efficiency of self-education and the formation of knowledge about specific professional tasks and at the same time acquire the necessary skills for practical activities. In conclusion, the recommendations on the necessary pedagogical conditions for a more stable institutionalization of the project method in higher education institutions are presented.

Annotation: From the standpoint of psychology, author revisits the conclusion made by leading linguists, including N. Chomsky, in 2014 about the impossibility of knowing how language was created. Comparison intellectual abilities language creators and modern Homo sapiens was proposed. The author discovered a system of four laws helping to study the process of evolution as a multi-level mutual adaptation between man and the environment. Given the known data on the loss from a human embryo to 70% of neurons from the neocortex by birth, it is concluded that the creators of the language with 100% of the neurons were supergeniuses. Children are geniuses; they with their 30% of neurons in the neocortex independently master the language, or even two-three, and the laws by Newton, Pascal, and other laws of nature including the laws of mutual adaptation by Venda. Further, with the rest of the neurons, adult person can only become a talent by chance and thus get an unconscious creative thinking but is never a genius. Most adults go through initiation and have only a routine conscience thinking. Now society needs more talents that are creative. The results of a 70-year experiment to cultivate artificial talent in initially ordinary schoolboy are presented. The experiment began L.N. Venda in 1948 with the author, her son, as a subject.

Annotation: Management of educational system in dynamically changing external and internal conditions is connected with systematic assessment and analysis of its stability and competitiveness, necessity of improvement of management mechanisms taking into account modern requirements. The paper solves the scientific problem of improvement of mathematical support of the processes of management of the educational system of the University. Within the framework of solving the scientific problem, it is proposed to apply the approach of dissymmetry to management, which is manifested in the relationship of the selected static and dynamic parts, and the creation of a mathematical model that reflects the mutual influence of static and dynamic parts on the effectiveness of educational activities of the University. A mathematical model based on the apparatus of chain fractions and discrete-continuous transformations, which allows at the system level to identify deviations in the implementation of educational activities of the University and detail them at the levels of management, is proposed. Numerical examples of application of mathematical model for the analysis of the ratio of potentials of static and dynamic parts on levels of decomposition in the form of the normalized integral indicators presented in the form of suitable fractions and transformed into space of images are considered.

Annotation: The article analyzes the development of blockchain systems, it is noted that blockchain systems are developing in the direction of increasing user convenience, including in terms of user interfaces and increasing speed of work. There are achievements in the development of more sophisticated consensus algorithms, in the creation of proprietary networked protocols adapted to blockchain systems. It justifies the thesis that the flexibility of the blockchain technology contributes to the rapid expansion of the areas of application of the blockchain systems. For example, there is a tendency to expand the use of distributed registry cryptosystems by modern banks. Along with the Ripple and Stellar systems, specially designed for banking, there are steaklokoiny, cryptocurrency, tied to assets. IBM professional software products play a significant role in expanding the use of distributed registry cryptosystems in the management of enterprises and organizations in all spheres of life. A comparative analysis of the cryptosystem of the Ripple and Stellar distributed registry with the existing system of interbank SWIFT channels has been carried out. The essential advantage of cryptosystems of the distributed registry in speed of execution of transactions and in convenience of user interfaces is shown.

Annotation: The article presents the experience of reflekraktika in order to activate the potential of life-creation and the self-development of students. It justifies and describes the program of reflekratik “Actualization of the potential of life-twister.” The content and logic of building a program opens up the possibility for group participants to conduct their own reflection on their life path in a time perspective “past – present – future”. The reflexodrama procedure included in the program suggests psychodramatic improvisation using artistic images, allows for artistic self-actualization: a special psychological space of being is created - a reflexive “other world” in which participants immerse themselves in the world of images, the world of their imagination, in order to carry out a reflexive analysis of life situations. In the course of group work, the following stages of work are assumed: reflexive diagnostics, psychodramatization stage, including: “immersion” – “assigning an image” – “playing an image” – “exiting an image” and subsequent reflexive analysis. Reflektika is designed to encourage participants to self-analyze the life path and determine their ability to reach the active stage of life-creation.
