Schoolchildren from four regions of Russia were among the strongest at the CASE-IN championship

The results of the school competitions of the Autumn Cup of the International Engineering CASE-IN Championship have been summed up. 22 teams of students in grades 8-11 from 11 regions of Russia met in the final. The winners and prize-winners were high school students from four regions of the Russian Federation.

Alexander Bugaev, First Deputy Minister of Education of the Russian Federation, praised the project's role in training engineering personnel.

"Youth educational initiatives aimed at developing the professional and leadership potential of young people are welcomed at the state level. That's why we annually support the CASE-IN Championship, which is Russia's largest community that allows young people to gain professional knowledge and practical experience, develop and reach new heights. Most importantly, the championship contributes to solving strategic tasks and educating high-quality personnel for leading industries. I am sure that the project will continue to expand its boundaries and help more than one generation of participants to become professionals in their field," he said.

The XIII season of the CASE-IN championship is dedicated to the theme "Technological innovations". At the Moscow Power Engineering Institute, the finalists dealt with engineering cases and presented innovative ideas in the field of Thermal power engineering.

In total, the fall season of the CASE-IN School League brought together more than 500 high school students from 48 regions. The guys created projects for energy-efficient urban areas and proposed solutions for the introduction of biotechnologies into the production infrastructure of Russian companies.

Grigory Gurov, Head of Rosmolodezh, commented that engineering specialties are currently in third place among school graduates.

"This season, 540 high school students gained new knowledge, learned how to solve complex production tasks, gained like-minded people, and some gained their first professional experience. The championship is an opportunity to enroll with additional points in one of the 161 partner universities of the project, as well as to complete internships and get a job in Russian manufacturing companies," he stressed.

The team "Particle of the North" (Vysotka High School, Gubkinsky, Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug) was recognized as the winner. The guys won the Breakthrough Solution award. The second place was taken by the team "Coders of the Future" (Lyceum "Constellation" No. 131, Samara). The bronze medal was awarded to students of the Kemerovo Talent Center (UnikUm) from Kemerovo.

Ten teams from Moscow and the Moscow Region competed for the victory in the Teploenergetika field. The victory was won by the Olympia team (school No. 1317, Moscow).

It should be noted that the champions and prize–winners of the School League will receive additional USE points when applying to bachelor's degree programs at partner universities of the championship, as well as advantages in the selection process for participation in the School of Young Power Engineering at the Smena VDC and the specialized energy shift at the Eaglet VDC.

The organizers of the CASE-IN championship are the Reliable Change Foundation, the Non-profit Partnership Youth Forum of Mining Leaders and AstraLogica LLC. The championship is held with the support of the Ministry of Education of the Russian Federation and the presidential platform "Russia – the land of opportunities". It 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.
