Novocheboksarsk schoolchildren from the RusHydro energy class are the winners of the "CASE-IN" School League!

The RusHydro energy class team from Novocheboksarsk Lyceum No. 18 won the second place in the final of the VIII School League of the International Engineering Championship "CASE-IN", which this year, due to the restrictions caused by the spread of coronavirus infection, was held in a videoconference format. In the first place is the RusHydro energy class team from Novosibirsk. All winning teams will receive additional points upon admission to 19 Russian universities, and will also be able to visit partner enterprises of the championship.

This is not the first success of RusHydro energy class students from the Volga region and Siberia at the championship. Last year, the teams of these regions also won prizes. places in the finals: Novocheboksary residents became the second, Novosibirsk residents – the third.

The final works of the finalists of the School League were devoted to the implementation of environmental solutions in industrial enterprises.

For the fourth year in a row, RusHydro has become a partner of the largest engineering competition in Russia and the CIS countries. This year, in addition to training teams for the School League, RusHydro also provided expert support in evaluating the cases of the participants in the qualifying round and the final.
