Hello everyone, We are glad that so many Skoltech employees and students got engaged into the Skoltech Pacers walking challenge. As usual, we highly recommend checking your app daily and especially on Friday, April 26, so we could finalize the results and award the best pacer team and individual prize winners. As long as we are an innovative Institute, we surely expected some participants to come up with an innovative technical solution to increase their chances of winning. However, at Skoltech, we are supporting the idea of playing by the rules: Only real pacers are taken into consideration and only realistic numbers will be counted. We do know that it’s impossible to walk more than 100,000 steps during a workday, so if you are on vacation, reach out to us and we will reconsider the result 😇 We are almost at the finish line! We are Skoltech, We grow strong!
