We want to show the scale of the tasks that SIBUR solves, and we hope to involve more and more students in engineering activities," says Artur Kovin, chief expert at the implementation of technological modeling at SIBUR.

To participate in the final, the students spent 10 days working on ideas for collecting and sorting plastic waste in the conditional special economic zone in Tobolsk, paying special attention to the environmental situation. High school students have come up with activities to draw public attention to responsible consumption; they have developed a memo on proper waste disposal and poster layouts for social advertising focused on environmental protection.

The ideas of the finalists will also be evaluated online by experts from industry companies and organizations, including: SIBUR, a branch of JSC RusHydro − Corporate University of Hydropower, Novosibirsk branch of OOO Siberian Generating Company, JSC Rosseti Volga, OOO Energy Storage Systems, as well as teachers from Irkutsk National Research Technical University. University and Tyumen Industrial University and representatives of the AHO "Russia is a country of opportunities". During the final, participants will also receive a master class "Personal Effectiveness Life Hacks: Use your phone effectively" and a quiz "Brain-case" from the Association of Trainers of the Russian Youth Union.

Alexey Komissarov, CEO of AHO Russia – the Land of Opportunities, will deliver a motivating address to schoolchildren, while Oksana Mustafina, SIBUR's brand development, recruitment and HR communications expert, will hold a meeting on "How talent can find itself in the industrial sector."

"The School League competitions are designed to teach high school students how to work in a team, search for and analyze information, generate and present ideas. One of the main objectives of this season's CASE-IN is to instill in the minds of schoolchildren the belief in the need for responsible consumption and respect for nature," comments Artem Korolev, founder and co−chairman of the Organizing Committee of the CASE−IN Championship.
