Volgograd schoolchildren became winners of the international engineering championship "CASE-IN"

Schoolchildren from the village of Sickle and Hammer of the Novonikolaevsky district of the Volgograd region won the highest awards of the engineering solutions competition of the School League of the Autumn Cup of the International Engineering Championship "CASE-IN".

The Championship is part of the presidential platform "Russia is a country of opportunities." This is an international competition system for solving engineering cases among schoolchildren, students and young specialists of fuel and energy and mineral resource complexes. The new season of "CASE-IN" was switched to a remote format due to anti-epidemic measures in the regions of Russia.

The Autumn Cup, organized by the Reliable Shift Foundation, the Non-profit Partnership Youth Forum of Mining Leaders and AstraLogica LLC, is held for three leagues: the School League, the League of Young Professionals and the Student League. In the final of the VIII season, 29 teams of schoolchildren, 39 teams of students and 13 youth teams of companies from fuel and energy and mineral resource complexes met.

The final of the school league was held in two directions. In one of them, the participants continued to work on the case "Artificial Islands", dedicated to the search for human habitats in the future. Another area was the Engineering Solutions Competition on the topic "Metal structures in the fuel, energy and mineral resources complex." 13 teams of schoolchildren were engaged in designing scaled-down copies of fuel and energy complex and MSC facilities.

The SM team consists of Inna Zhulidova, Maria Yukina, Alyona Kharitonova and Artur Lepeshkin. It was considered that standard power line poles spoil the appearance of streets and do not fit well into the landscape, especially in large cities. To solve this problem, the guys suggested using designer power poles. They made mockups from improvised materials and successfully defended their decision to experts - specialists from fuel and energy companies. The champions of the "CASE-IN" School League will be rewarded with additional USE points upon admission to 32 partner universities of the championship.

 "The CASE-IN Youth Championship is an excellent platform for professional growth and self–realization in engineering. Among the prizes that our winners receive is participation in the program. "Mentoring" from the Senezh Management Workshop. This year, 11 participants of the championship have already joined this work and are receiving personal recommendations and support from the winners and finalists of the "Leaders of Russia", "Teacher of the Future" and "Digital Breakthrough" contests. The guys who won prizes this season will also be able to join the program next year," he said. Deputy Director General of ANO "Russia – the land of opportunities" Vladislav Davankov.
