Pupils of the Kemerovo educational center of the Andrey Melnichenko Foundation won the "CASE-IN"

The students of the Central Research Institute of Technical Sciences at KuzSTU "UniqUe", created with the support of the Andrey Melnichenko Foundation and SGK, were among the winners of the Autumn Cup of the Engineering Solutions Competition, implemented within the framework of the School League of the International Engineering CASE-IN Championship and the Presidential Initiative "Russia – the land of opportunities".

The School League is a competition for schoolchildren in solving engineering cases and creating a technical device or layout aimed at popularizing knowledge about energy, forming a positive and responsible attitude towards this field of knowledge among students, and identifying the most promising students who can benefit the energy industry and science. Finalists and winners of the tournament, along with diplomas, receive guarantees of additional points for the Unified State Exam, as well as the opportunity to participate in specialized shifts at leading All-Russian children's centers.

The task of the contestants of the Autumn Cup of the 2021 Engineering Solutions Competition was to produce mock-ups based on one of the proposed themes: "Energy is hidden in everything", "My energy dream", "The energy of the future is in our hands!" and "Ecosystem Restoration". Ruslan Zaikin, a Chemistry student at the Andrey Melnichenko Foundation Educational Center at KuzSTU, managed to offer the best solution in his age group. Another young "unique", Grigory Plaksin, took 2nd place in the younger age group, gaining invaluable experience in developing and presenting his project.

Ruslan, who in the spring already became the holder of the 1st degree diploma of the Main Season of the Engineering Solutions Competition and is now a two-time winner of this tournament, shared his impressions: "In my opinion, the layout on the theme "Ecosystem restoration" is one of the most difficult, but very interesting and important tasks. Its solution is of fundamental importance for achieving the goals of the state in the direction of sustainable development."
