Kemerovo schoolchildren won bronze in the final of the CASE-IN championship in Moscow

The Engineers of the Future team, which included Kirill Yerin, Ilya Luzgarev and Yesenia Vyrvich, won the bronze medal. The Fall Cup of the School League of the International Engineering CASE-IN Championship. The final of the prestigious competition took place on November 26 in Moscow at the National Research University "MEI".

The championship brought together 148 teams from different regions of Russia. Only the strongest reached the final, and the Kemerovo region was represented by four teams, which indicates the high level of training of young engineers in the region. In addition to the bronze medalists, the teams "Cards, Money, two Cups", "Case&Cause" and "Phoenix" also performed in the finals. The latter consists of students from the basic schools of the SGK, who work in the Design Workshop of the Talent Center of the Kemerovo Melnichenko Foundation.

The participants solved a complex case in the topical field of Biotechnology: Infrastructural Solutions. The students had to analyze the infrastructure of Russia's largest special economic zone, Alabuga, find its "weaknesses" and propose innovative methods to eliminate them using modern biotech tools, from synthetic biology to bioprinting. In the final, the teams defended their projects in front of reputable industry experts.

Ivan Paskar and Yaroslav Avdeev, teachers of the Talent Center at Kuzbass Polytechnic University, joined the expert board as part of solving cases in the field of Thermal Power engineering.

A striking achievement was also the recognition of the merits of the Melnichenko Foundation's young talent training system – the Kemerovo Talent Center was awarded a special award "Flagship of Engineering Personnel Training".

"We are incredibly proud of our guys., – The mentor of the winners, Ivan Paskar, shares this information. – This bronze is the result of not only hard work on the case, but also proof that engineers with a global mindset are growing up in Kuzbass. The task that the organizers set for the students was really difficult, close to the real challenges of modern industry. Our teams didn't just come up with technical solutions, they thought like real strategists who see the connection between biotechnology, ecology and economics. I am sure that this success is only the first step in their brilliant professional future."
