A school from the Krasnoyarsk Territory prepares future highly qualified specialists at the CASE-IN circle

The Ivan Yarygin Moscow Secondary School (Sizaya village, Shushensky district, Krasnoyarsk Territory) has joined the implementation of an additional general development program – educational circles of the International Engineering CASE-IN Championship. In the classroom, high school students from Siberia learn how to solve real production problems and think analytically, and also have the opportunity to decide on their future profession.  

At the weekly circle classes conducted by Irina Anatolyevna Kashina, a teacher of physics and computer science, 10 schoolchildren study the vectors of development of Russian industry and propose projects to improve the lives of residents of the Krasnoyarsk Territory. Thanks to The CASE-IN Simulator platform Young researchers get acquainted with the cases of various seasons of the School League and solve interactive tasks.

"By studying the activities of Russian enterprises, new technologies and sought–after specialties in the circle, students can decide on their future profession," Irina Kashina clarified. – Students receive knowledge beyond the school curriculum and immerse themselves in the study of physics, chemistry, biology, ecology, mathematics, economics. Here they are developing an interest in engineering and technology, which is now in demand in our region." 

The idea of opening the club arose after the participation of the school team "Polite People" in the final of the jubilee X season of the CASE-IN championship. After returning home, the finalists shared their impressions with their peers. Since then, the number of students who want to join the engineering craft and take part in the CASE-IN championship has been growing.  

"Our students joined the championship for the first time in 2020. And the highest achievement is the bronze medals of Nikita Zholobov and Sergey Sitnikov in the nomination "Competition of projects and layouts among schoolchildren in grades 6-8" in 2024, Irina Kashina said. – They completed a 1:550 scale model, using the example of which they presented the entire cycle of nuclear energy from ore extraction to the supply of the received energy to consumers. By the way, all the guys who participated in the CASE-IN went to universities to study engineering. This is a high result for our small school."

The winners of the championship speak positively about their club activities and are ready to make every effort to become winners of the championship and highly qualified specialists for key industries.

9th grade student Nikita Zholobov: «The circle is very interesting and informative. Here you get a lot of valuable practical knowledge, which is a quality addition to the school curriculum. I think that classes in the circle will help to achieve successful results at federal Olympiads and competitions."

9th grade student Sergey Sitnikov: "Studying in a circle CASE-IN. I have received a lot of useful information that will help me improve my result at the CASE-IN championship. I think solving the cases will help me decide on my future profession." 

At the Ivan Yarygin Moscow Secondary School, they expect that the newly opened circle will have a positive impact on children's academic performance in the classroom and, in general, will increase their level of education in basic school subjects.

"We have already noticed that the classes of the circle have a positive effect on the studies and discipline the children, they become more responsible and successful. They are becoming stronger in project activities, engineering thinking and cross-functional interaction," Irina Kashina emphasized.

Engineering education plays an important role in the development strategy of the Krasnoyarsk Territory, so the institution's management plans to expand the educational circle in the future by inviting students and teachers from other schools in the Shushensky district to classes.
