Schoolchildren from Gubkin are solving real production problems in order to enter the university

The Organizing Committee of the International Engineering CASE-IN Championship is actively developing educational circles, an additional general development program designed to develop students' engineering thinking through case studies.

In September 2024, the VYSOTKA High School (Gubkinsky, Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug) joined the initiative. At the circle, students gain in-depth knowledge of specialized disciplines, learn how to solve real production problems and get acquainted with engineering professions.

At the circle, 20 students of grades 10-11 who have a steady interest in technical creativity develop their engineering and general scientific skills, master production and analytical thinking. Students have access to The CASE-IN Simulator platform, which contains cases from past School League competitions and various interactive tasks.

The classes in the circle are conducted twice a week by Olga Vogel, a physics teacher who is the winner of the Yamal 2022 Teacher of the Year district teaching competition and has the highest qualification category.

The idea of opening a circle arose after the successful participation of school teams in the International Engineering CASE-IN Championship, Olga Vogel noted: "In the spring of 2024, two teams of MBOU Vysotka High School participated in the main season of the School League. In the field of "Engineering and technical creativity", the tenth-grade team won the bronze medal, and in the field of "Case Solving", the 5DIM team became a finalist and defended their project in Moscow. Recently, our team took part in the championship for the second time. Participation in the championship allows you not only to learn a lot of new things and gain useful skills, but also develops the skills of cross-functional work."

The circle teaches students from Gubkin to develop effective solutions, take into account the smallest details and present their ideas in a limited time.

"In the classroom, we analyze cases from the CASE-IN Simulator, solve tasks from the leading experts of the championship," Olga Vogel said. – Students learn to understand the meaning of engineering, master terminology, master the skills of creating complex presentations and speaking skills, get acquainted with technological techniques for solving engineering problems of any complexity and new engineering technologies. In addition, the circle participants develop an interest in scientific and technical creativity and the ability to organize joint activities with teachers and peers, working individually and in a group."

Teachers and school leaders are confident in the practical value of the general development program and plan to continue leading the circle in the future. They believe that the graduates of the circle will achieve success in prestigious federal projects, including the CASE-IN championship, and will also be able to decide on an engineering profession and a university for admission.

Absolutely everyone interested in the development of young people in the institution can enter the system of CASE-IN circles and take advantage of the methodological and infrastructural support of the championship.
