The national team of the three regions is preparing for the finals of the "CASE-IN" School League

The national team of the three regions reached the final of the School League of the International Engineering Championship "CASE-IN", implemented with the support of the presidential platform "Russia – the land of opportunities". The finalists have developed a strong solution to the Lean Technologies for Sustainable Development case and will present their solution in Moscow.

The project is included in the "Science to Win" initiative and the plan for the Decade of Science and Technology, which takes place in Russia in 2022-2031. It is being implemented within the framework of the federal project "Social Elevators for Everyone" of the national project "Education". The project is being implemented using a grant from the President of the Russian Federation for the development of civil society.

"During the School League competitions, participants from 40 regions completed tasks on the topic of "Lean Manufacturing," said Artyom Korolev, founder and co–chairman of the organizing committee of the CASE-IN International Engineering Championship. – Teams of high school students, on the instructions of SIBUR's strategic partner, solved the case "Lean technologies for Sustainable Development", and students in grades 3-11 were engaged in engineering and technical creativity with the support of Evraz LLC and the Alabuga SEZ. In total, the contestants presented 150 projects and solutions."
More than 350 high school students of grades 9-11 participated in the qualifying stage of the Case Solving course."

On the instructions of SIBUR, the teams of schoolchildren selected one of the priority industries in Russia and analyzed its condition. Then the contestants developed solutions based on lean manufacturing tools that will allow this industry to develop more efficiently. The participants presented their projects to experts from companies and specialized organizations.

13 of the 94 competing teams will travel to Moscow for the final of the CASE-IN championship. Among the finalists is the Kremlin Analysts national team consisting of high school students from the village of Aginskoye in the Trans-Baikal Territory, Buguruslan in the Orenburg Region and Murmansk.

Ayusha Gotopov (team captain, Aginsk District Boarding School), Alexander Aksenchenko from Murmansk Polytechnic Lyceum and Svyatoslav Litvikh (Gymnasium No. 1 in Buguruslan) studied the development of the petrochemical industry and proposed the introduction of liquefied natural gas technologies and natural gas processing into the activities of SIBUR.
According to the authors, their solution will improve energy efficiency, reduce the environmental burden and increase the competitiveness of the enterprise.

"LNG expands SIBUR's raw material base and reduces the risks associated with fluctuations in fossil fuel prices," the students comment. "LNG can be a more economical source of energy than other fuels, especially in remote areas or with limited infrastructure. The use of LNG contributes to the achievement of the company's sustainable development goals and creates a positive image."

In the final of the School League, which will be held on May 29 in Moscow, the teams will have to prove to the expert community the effectiveness of their decisions. In addition, they will receive valuable advice from specialists from industrial companies and will be able to master important professional skills.

The champions and prize–winners of the School League will receive diplomas, valuable gifts and a certificate for additional USE points upon admission to bachelor's degree programs at one of the partner universities of the championship. In addition, they will receive invitations to industry youth educational forums at the VDC "Eaglet" or VDC "Smena".

The organizers of the CASE-IN championship are the Reliable Change Foundation, the Non-profit Partnership Youth Forum of Mining Leaders and AstraLogica LLC.
