Schoolchildren of the Chelyabinsk region have developed innovative solutions at the CASE-IN championship

Two schools of the Satkinsky Municipal District of the Chelyabinsk Region took part in the International Engineering CASE-IN Championship, a key career guidance event aimed at popularizing engineering professions among high school students and developing their engineering thinking.

The students solved a real production task, taken from the practice of the Alabuga SEZ special economic zone and adapted for educational purposes. The teams analyzed the problem and proposed an innovative technical solution. To solve their tasks, they had to apply mathematics, biology, geography, physics, as well as gain new financial knowledge.

The team of MAOU Secondary School No. 12 proposed bioreactyres with microalgae - they are the ones that effectively absorb carbon dioxide, reducing pollution and producing biomass that can be used to generate additional profits.

The teams of the engineering classes of MAOU Secondary School No. 40 solved the case, which was an educational technology that uses a description of real economic, social and business situations. Students of grades 8i, 10a and 10b explored with interest the proposed situation related to the operation of the enterprise infrastructure. They suggested possible solutions and chose the best one. One of the conditions for the solution was the use of new biotechnologies.

Participation in the School League of the CASE-IN Engineering Championship is an introduction to the world of engineering professions, their diversity and relevance, the development of skills in system and project thinking, data analysis, teamwork, public speaking and the presentation of their ideas. The teams gained practical experience, critical thinking skills, creativity, communication, collaboration, as well as knowledge and skills that are not always available in the school curriculum.

The CASE-IN School League is an important tool for building the country's engineering talent pool, increasing the prestige of engineering professions and providing a link between school education, universities and real production.
