High school students will develop solutions for the production of synthetic rubber

Schoolchildren from Russian regions will take part in the School League "Titan" under the auspices of The International Engineering CASE-IN Championship. The Championship is included in the Presidential Platform "Russia is a land of opportunity". The authors of the most striking and effective solutions will receive additional USE points and an invitation to practice after admission to the university.

The school league will be held remotely and will include a qualifying stage and a final. Participants will have to understand the specifics of the chemical industry, acquire teamwork, public speaking and information management skills.

During the qualifying stage, students will study the production process of styrene butadiene rubber at the Omsk Rubber plant and develop organizational and technical solutions to optimize the technological process. The contestants should use artificial intelligence and digitalization tools in their ideas. In addition, they need to evaluate the economic efficiency of the developed technologies, sustainability and increased production efficiency.

The decisions of the schoolchildren will be evaluated by an expert commission consisting of specialists from the holding and the organizing committee of the CASE-IN championship. The nine strongest teams will receive tickets to the final, which will be held on May 28, 2026.

The reward for the winners and prize-winners will be additional USE points for admission to partner universities of the championship. All participants of the final will have the opportunity to complete an internship at the Titan Group of Companies under the accelerated program after admission to the university.
