First, the participants passed the qualifying stage of the championship. 84 teams of Russian schoolchildren were tasked with solving the problem of creating an artificial island: choosing a construction site, construction technology, suggesting the purpose of the facility's infrastructure and designing its life support system. The top 16 teams advanced to the finals, where they had to complete a feasibility study of the developed engineering solutions.
"The guys and I have come a very long and difficult way to become the leaders of the championship. This time we were very lucky: the case from the qualifying stage was an auxiliary base for the final. We have supplemented and expanded our solution. Each time, the structure and direction of the case changed dramatically, which made it even more interesting and informative. At the tournament, we acquire skills of working in a team and for a team, learn how to organize the activities of friends and self-discipline. It was a difficult competition that required deep knowledge and innovative solutions!", - participant Alexey Pleshkan shared his impressions.
