A schoolboy from Pyatigorsk has developed an original wind turbine project

This year, in the competitions of the school league of the 8th season of the International Engineering CASE-IN Championship, one of the projects of the presidential platform "Russia — the land of Opportunities" — 207 teams of Russian schoolchildren took part. They developed solutions to the most pressing problems of energy and petrochemistry.

Project presentations were presented remotely. Nikita Purshev, a student of Pyatigorsk school No. 28, developed a wind turbine for a ventilation pipe and reached the final.

Nikita Purshev, finalist of the International Engineering CASE-IN Championship:
"This device, for example, can be used in private homes to save money on utilities. And just generate energy on your own, even if it's small, but somehow you can save money."

He says he learned a lot about the types of renewable energy sources during his training.

Konstantin Suslov, expert of the Engineering Solutions competition, Head of the Department of Power Supply and Electrical Engineering at IRNTU:
"Such competitions allow us to form engineering thinking, teach project activities, and instill the ability to work in a team."

Artem Korolev, founder and Co-chairman of the International Engineering Championship CASE-IN:
"We will also hold the finals in a remote format, and the best students will also earn rewards, gifts, and opportunities to attend industry-specific educational shifts. But the most important thing is that the finalists and winners of the school CASE—IN league get the opportunity to get additional points for the Unified State Exam when applying to partner universities of the championship. There are 19 of them this year."

Nikita Purshev, a resident of Pyatigorsk, has not yet chosen a university for admission. But I've already decided for sure that I'm going to be an energy engineer.
