Schoolchildren from the Ivanovo region became the winners of the International Engineering Championship

The "Dream Team", representing school No. 1 in the city of Furmanov, Ivanovo region, won the competition The School League of the International Engineering Championship "CASE-IN". Tenth graders Vyacheslav Avdonin (captain of the team), Vladimir Bolotov, Vyacheslav Kiselyov and Nikita Reavis They proposed the best vision for the strategic development of the Russian fuel and energy complex until 2035.

International Engineering Championship "CASE-IN" – the largest annual practice-oriented competition in Russia and the CIS countries for solving engineering cases, an effective tool for transferring practical knowledge, experience and new competencies to future engineering specialists. Since 2013, the Championship has been held for students of technical universities. Since 2017, schoolchildren and young specialists from companies in the fuel and energy and mineral resource complexes have joined the Championship. School league "CASE-IN" – a competition of schoolchildren in solving cases aimed at popularizing knowledge about energy.

More than 200 students of grades 9-11 from more than 30 regions of Russia took part in the School League competitions. The work of the participants was evaluated by an expert commission consisting of representatives JSC "System Operator of the Unified Energy System" and teachers Ural Federal University named after B.N. Yeltsin and Tyumen Industrial University.

In 2018, the CASE-IN International Engineering Championship is dedicated to the development of the Arctic, so the participating schoolchildren had to pay special attention to the role of the Arctic region of Russia in the fuel and energy balance of the country.

«In our opinion, the Arctic can play the role of a "battery" capable of powering part of our country. There is a huge energy potential hidden in the Arctic region of Russia, and it consists not only in large reserves of coal, oil and gas, but also in the ability to extract energy in innovative ways. Currently, the potential of the Arctic region of Russia is not fully revealed due to the harsh climatic conditions and insufficient development of technology. But we hope that in the future all this will not be a problem, and the Arctic will become one of the main energy producers in Russia.», − shared by the winners. They proposed developing solar energy in the Arctic using flexible panels based on organic semiconductors, and building wind, geothermal, and floating nuclear power plants.

The "Dream Team" as the champion of the School League, he will be the guest of honor at the final of the International Engineering Championship "CASE-IN" in Moscow in May 2018, and will also be able to take part in the profile "energy" shift at the All-Russian children's center "Eaglet" in the summer of 2018.
