A schoolboy from Mordovia qualified for the final of the CASE-IN engineering championship

Russian schoolchildren have developed solutions for energy production and plastic recycling. 207 teams from all over the country took part in the school league competitions of the 8th season of the international engineering championship "Case-in". This is one of the projects of the presidential platform "Russia — the land of opportunities". The team from Mordovia is already in the finals.

The qualifying stage competitions, which were held online, were attended by schoolchildren from 70 regions of the country from 6th to 11th grade. One of the key tasks of this season's case was to introduce into consciousness the belief in the need to sort household waste and take care of nature. Engineering thinking, non-trivial approach and ideas were evaluated by experts: specialists from industry companies and university professors.

Konstantin Suslov, expert of the contest: "It is clear that the guys diligently solved the tasks assigned to them, and the competition committee had, of course, a very difficult task to identify the finalists. And that was probably the most difficult task. Among the works, it was nice to see works with a very deep study of the solution." 

Ilya Petrov from Mordovia, who studies in the 10th grade of Krasnopodgornaya school, became a contender for victory in the engineering solutions competition of the Case-in championship. The team under his leadership entered the top three finalists. The project was highly appreciated in the competition for the prize of the Head of Mordovia.

Ilya Petrov, finalist of the engineering solutions competition of the School League of the international engineering championship "CASE-IN": «Very often, when we experience any discomfort, we associate it with the state of the microclimate in the room in which we are located. That's why I decided to create a microclimate system for the room." 

In June, the 14 winning teams of the qualifying round will have an online final where the participants will defend their ideas. The winners and prize—winners will receive from 1 to 10 additional points on the Unified State Exam upon admission to 19 partner universities of the championship or will be able to make an educational trip to Tobolsk to the petrochemical plant.
