Young Kuzbass residents successfully performed in the School League of the CASE-IN championship

The students of the Andrey Melnichenko Foundation Educational Center at Kuzbass State Technical University performed well in the main season of the School League of the International Engineering Championship "CASE-IN" in the direction of "Engineering and technical creativity".

In the nomination for creating a layout, the first place among sixth- to eighth-grade students was taken by Grigory Plaksin, a student in the field of Intelligent Electromechanics at the UnikUm Center at KuzSTU. The young man developed and showed a working model of a geothermal power plant.

"Classes at the center gave me the opportunity to gain and constantly improve the skills of 3D modeling, soldering and writing programs on Arduino. All this allows you to create unique engineering layouts," said the student.

A team of 11th graders from the same field took second place in the competition of technical devices in the format of modeling, 3D printing, IT project and other formats among students in grades 9-11. It consists of Dmitry Maksimenko, Igor Mazuro and Artem Perkov.

The guys presented a device that can give a physical feeling of objects in virtual reality. A special controller with the function of tracking the position of fingers and simulating the physical dimensions and properties of a virtual object helps in this. Young Kuzbass residents have also developed a training room where they can test the device.

The Center for Children's Scientific and Engineering Creativity at KuzSTU "Unique" was established in November 2017. He is engaged in the development of gifted schoolchildren.
