The winners of the School League "CASE-IN" - at the "School of the young power engineer"

The All-Russian engineering shift "School of Young Power Engineers" has begun in the All-Russian Children's Center "Smena". 70 children from 32 regions of Russia participated in the educational program, which will last until November 17. 

The program was attended by schoolchildren and college students from 14 to 17 years old, who passed a competitive selection. Among them are the winners and prize-winners of the Olympiad "Hopes of Energy", laureates of the All-Russian competition of creative design and research works "#Together Brighter", the open scientific and practical conference "Engineers of the Future", the Moscow Engineering Conference of schoolchildren "Potential" and the School League of the International Engineering Championship "CASE-IN". 

Young power engineers will attend master classes and lectures by leading industry experts. Smena students will get acquainted with renewable and nuclear energy, participate in themed games, quests, quizzes, solve situational problems and design mockups of "smart" devices. Students will study current trends in the digital transformation of the fuel and energy sector, reducing the carbon footprint, and introducing green and energy-saving technologies.

"Interest in the program among graduating students is growing every year. Our country holds a leading position in the global energy industry. Companies need qualified employees – energy engineers, IT specialists. The potential of the industry is huge, and the younger generation shows great talent in technical fields. The partner educational program at Smena supports students in their quest to pursue engineering professions. This is a good foundation for the future for the sustainable basis of the country's energy security," said the director of the Smena VDC Igor Zhuravlev. 

Employees of the Moscow Power Engineering Institute will tell the students about the basics of prototyping electronic circuits and their use to create control and automation devices.

The system Operator of the Unified Energy System (UES) has prepared an educational event on innovations in the energy sector.

Working together with mentors and peers on educational layouts will teach Smena students team building and teamwork. For example, in classes with representatives of RusHydro, students will assemble prototypes of electric vehicles – bristlewalkers, and when developing sticker packs for the Telegram messenger The students will learn how to present projects and develop supra-professional skills.

"On I presented the project of automatic parking at the open scientific and practical conference "Engineers of the Future" and became a prize-winner. That's how I ended up in the "Shift" at the Young Power Engineer's School. All the classes are very interesting and useful, the "Park of the Future" was pleased with the equipped pavilions. I'm waiting for classes to make the final choice. I haven't decided for sure yet whether I want to be a programmer or a design engineer," said the participant of the program. Andrey Kolomiets from Moscow. 

Graduates of the Young Power Engineer School will have to publicly defend their design work. The students will prove themselves in carrying out laboratory and experimental activities, solving cases on energy, transport, and energy conservation, as well as demonstrate knowledge of electrical devices and the ability to present energy conservation topics through newspapers and posters.

The additional educational program "School of Young Power Engineers" is being implemented in Smena with the support of the Ministry of Education of the Russian Federation and the Ministry of Energy of the Russian Federation. The program's partners are PJSC ROSSETI, PJSC RusHydro, GC Rosatom, JSC SO UES and NRU MEI.
