Kirov schoolchildren qualified for the final of the Autumn Cup of the CASE-IN Championship

A team of young researchers from the Kirov Physics and Mathematics Lyceum has reached the finals of the All-Russian competition among schoolchildren for solving engineering cases under the auspices of the International Engineering Championship "CASE-IN". The competition is supported by the presidential platform "Russia – the land of opportunities" and the All-Russian competition of youth projects for educational institutions of higher Education Rosmolodezh.Grants, as well as the national project "Education".

During the qualifying stage of the competition, 1,100 students in grades 9-11 from 50 regions of Russia rated the technologies that have the greatest impact on achieving Russia's technological leadership and developed measures to develop these technologies.

Only 12 teams from 11 Russian regions qualified for the finals. The strongest participants will meet on December 15 in Moscow at the site of the general final of the Autumn Cup "CASE-IN". They will present their ideas to the experts, and the authors of the best solution will receive this season's Champions Cup.

The Fire team of the Kirov Physics and Mathematics Lyceum is among the finalists.

Timofey Surkov, Vladislav Molodykh, Ivan Churin and Alexey Schennikov proposed developing hydrogen energy, genetic technologies, artificial intelligence and quantum computing. High school students also believe that it is necessary to pay attention to new materials that are more environmentally friendly and biodegradable.

"The introduction of the proposed technologies within 5-7 years can significantly affect the growth of the Russian economy. New technologies will have a positive impact on the environment and contribute to reducing emissions in one way or another," the finalists say. — However, for the successful implementation of end-to-end technologies, it is necessary to pay attention to such aspects as personnel education, infrastructure, legislative framework and innovation support. It is also important to ensure data protection and cybersecurity to minimize risks."

As explained by Alexey Agafonov, First Deputy General Director of ANO "Russia – the land of Opportunities", the competition helps schoolchildren decide on their future profession and enroll in university, winners and prize–winners will receive additional points when applying to bachelor's degree programs at one of the 109 partner universities of the CASE-IN championship in 53 regions of Russia.

In addition, the strongest participants will be invited to the #Brighter educational shifts at the VDC "Eaglet" and the "School of Young Power Engineers" at the VDC "Smena". The authors of the best ideas will be able to travel around Russia with the "More than a Journey" program.

The organizer of the All-Russian competition among schoolchildren for solving engineering cases is the National Research University "MEI". The project is supported by ANO "Russia – the land of Opportunities", the Federal Agency for Youth Affairs (Rosmolodezh), the International Engineering Championship "CASE-IN", the program "More than a journey", the Reliable Shift Foundation and AstraLogica LLC.
