The participants of the "CASE-IN" championship from the Kuzbass "UNIQUE" pleasantly surprise with their successes

9 research and engineering projects of schoolchildren from Kemerovo will be presented in the final of the IV Children's Scientific Competition of the Andrey Melnichenko Foundation, which will be held in the capital of Kuzbass from February 9 to 13, 2022. These works were among the best according to the results of the DNA selection stage, which took place at the sites of the Foundation's regional educational centers in November and December.

Every year, the Andrey Melnichenko Foundation's Children's Science Competition brings together hundreds of young talents who are passionate about studying natural and mathematical sciences, engineering and technical creativity and invention. DNA opens up numerous opportunities for students to develop and implement their projects, find new ideas and create interregional teams, communicate with experts and gain the most advanced knowledge.

In 2022, more than 70 finalists, including 17 students from the Center for Children's Scientific and Engineering Creativity at KuzSTU "Unique", will compete for the victory in the competition and the right to present their achievements on the world scientific and technical arena. The students will present their works in the "Research Projects" and "Engineering Projects" categories.

The finalist projects of the IV Children's Scientific Competition of the Andrey Melnichenko Foundation in the "Research Projects" nomination included the works of high school students: "Development of a carbon magnetically controlled oil sorbent for cleaning reservoirs at subzero temperatures" by Arina Suchilina and Vladislav Krel, "Investigation of the process of separation of pyrolysis liquid into heating oil and chemical products" Egor Semenov, as well as "The development of an implant to replace a bone defect in the human femur" By Ekaterina Sheveleva.

There are 3 groups of works in the Engineering Projects category: engineering projects with mock-ups or models, theoretical engineering projects and IT projects. The younger age group will compete for the victory in the first of them in the DNA 2022 finals. Matvey Cherkasov, Egor Vostrikov and Mark Voloshin with "Development of a digital system for continuous monitoring of cracks in buildings". In the age category of grades 7-8 Kirill Rudyakov, Svyatoslav and Vladimir Sharygins will present the "Adaptive lighting system for industrial enterprises". The senior age group qualified for the DNA 2022 finals. Konstantin Maer, Grigory Plaksin and Konstantin Vorotkov with the project "MIC Mobile Measuring Complex".

The authors of the theoretical engineering project, which reached the final of DNA-2022, were eighth graders. Egor Lukyanov and Nikita Badyaev, who will present the work "Automation of the pressure gauge verification process" to the jury.

In the IT Projects category, the work "Detecting forest fires from satellite photos using an artificial neural network" will be presented in the age group of grades 5-6 Vladimir Chizhikov and Vladislav Novikov. In the senior age group, the final of the competition will be Vyacheslav Chertan with the project "Building a mathematical model of a face based on a digital platform for identifying individual facial patterns".

Now Kemerovo schoolchildren, as well as the rest of the participants in the final of the IV Children's Scientific Competition of the Andrey Melnichenko Foundation, are facing intense preparation and serious challenges: they will have to make public presentations of projects, defend their ideas and justify their chosen decisions. Based on the results of these defenses, the winners of DNA 2022 will be determined, who will receive diplomas and valuable prizes, grants for the production of pre-production samples or to continue their research, and will also participate in the largest scientific and technical fair. Regeneron ISEF and other international tournaments.
