CASE-IN champions study in RusHydro energy classes

With the support of the RusHydro energy holding, specialized classes at School No. 112 not only teach special courses in mathematics and physics, but also have a system for organizing design and research activities in the field of alternative energy.

The energy classes of PJSC RusHydro are a comprehensive project to introduce professional knowledge to students in grades 9-11. In close cooperation with the company's specialists, the teachers of school No. 112 are engaged in organizing the research activities of schoolchildren in accordance with the key markets of the matrix of the National Technology Initiative (EnergyNet, FoodNet, MariNet, AutoNet). During the educational process, students of energy classes visit energy facilities, get acquainted with the work of power plants, and future energy professions. They also participate in scientific research conferences, competitions and Olympiads, and implement their own projects with the support of power engineers.

So, in 2018, with the support of the Corporate University of Hydropower, a branch of PJSC RusHydro, Konstantin Pavlenko and Danil Kovalenko, students of the energy classes of school No. 112, were among the winners of the All–Russian Engineering competitions "Solar Regatta" in Veliky Novgorod and the European Championship "Solar Regatta" in Berlin (engineering competitions of boats operating powered by solar energy "Solarbootregatta").

In 2019, the national team of the Novosibirsk Region, which included students from school No. 112, the Gornostay Training Center and the Dolphin Training Center, took 1st place in the team competition at the All-Russian Engineering Championship "Solar Regatta" in Kazan. In the same year, Danil Kovalenko took first place in the Engineering Design competence at the VI WorldSkills Open Regional Championship (Young Professionals) and won a silver medal in the CAD Engineering Design competence at the finals of the VII WorldSkills Russia National Championship in Komsomolsk-on-Amur.

And already in 2020, students of the school Konstantin Pavlenko, Roman Mikhalchenko and Yana Nikiforova became prize-winners in the nomination "Modern Energy" with the project "Energy potential of small rivers of the Novosibirsk region on the example of the Upper Tula River". The mentors of the children were Oksana Bozhenko, a teacher at school No. 112, and Denis Ivashkin, head of the energy market support group at RusHydro Energy Holding. In addition, under their guidance, students of the school's energy classes became part of the winners of the international CASE-IN championship (school league) in the direction of “Solving the case”. Daniil Kovalenko won the prize of the same championship in the Modern Energy category with the PILOT Dome project (mentor is Igor Polionov, head of the children's technopark at school No. 112).

It remains to add that Novosibirsk HPP and the Corporate University of Hydropower are cooperating with School No. 112 as part of the implementation of the program for the advanced development of personnel potential of PJSC RusHydro "From a New school to a workplace" with the support of Technical Director – Chief engineer of the Novosibirsk branch of the company Svyatoslav Poltaranin.

The project managers are Vadim Platonov, Director of School No. 112, and Elena Orlova, Head of the Personnel Management Department at Novosibirsk HPP. The project coordinator is Tatiana Glushkova, a leading expert at the Corporate University of Hydropower of PJSC RusHydro.
Its main goal is to form the interest of high school students in the engineering profession and to orient them towards choosing a profession in the hydropower industry.

Together with the mentors of PJSC RusHydro, the teachers of School No. 112 replicate their accumulated experience in the framework of the following projects: the Regional Resource Center for Educational Development of the NGO NS on the topic "Development and implementation of effective models of professional self-determination of students in a modern educational organization" and the federal project "Personnel for the Digital Economy" of the national program "Digital Economy of the Russian Federation" of the state programs of the Russian Federation "Development of education".
