Schoolchildren from 17 regions will present ideas on electricity supply in Tyumen

Schoolchildren from 17 regions will present ideas for Russia's electricity supply in Tyumen in 2030. 
On July 8, 2019 in Tyumen on the base Tyumen Industrial University will host the final of the School League of the VII International Engineering Championship "CASE-IN". The project is included in the platform "Russia is a land of opportunity", created on the initiative of Russian President Vladimir Putin Putin.

"Russia is a land of opportunity", created on the initiative of Russian President Vladimir Putin Putin.

International Engineering Championship "CASE-IN" — this is an international competition system for solving engineering cases among schoolchildren, students and young specialists in the fuel and energy and mineral resource complexes.

The organizers of the School League "CASE-IN" are Reliable Change Foundation, NP "Youth Forum of Mining Leaders", LLC "AstraLogica" with the support of The Russian School Movement and leading technical universities in Russia, including Tyumen Industrial University and National Research University "MEI".

"The goal of the School League"CASE-IN" − to provide students with knowledge about energy and identify the most promising students interested in acquiring professions in the energy industry", − notes the founder and co-chairman of the Organizing Committee of CASE-IN, Director of the Reliable Change Foundation Artem Korolev.

85 participants will gather for the final of the CASE-IN School League in Tyumen: these are teams of high school students from 17 regions of Russia who have passed the qualifying stage competitions. They will have to defend their solution to the case on the topic "Electricity supply to the city of the future."

The case for schoolchildren was developed in the framework of a single topic "Digital transformation" The CASE-IN International Engineering Championship is related to the relevance of digitalization for the Russian fuel and energy complex: energy and the Smart City direction are included in the national program "Digital Economy of the Russian Federation".

In accordance with the task of the case, the students modeled the situation in which Russia stopped operating nuclear and thermal power plants in 2030 due to the depletion of fossil energy resources and a sharp deterioration in the environmental situation. This has led to a sharp increase in demand for technologies that ensure efficient production, transmission, distribution and consumption of electricity, as well as its savings.

The finalists will present to the experts ideas for electricity supply to specific Russian cities in 2030 under hypothetical conditions for the cessation of operation of nuclear and thermal power plants.

"Students will have to participate in competitions where basic knowledge of physics alone, for example, will not be enough, because engineering requires non-trivial thinking and special efforts. In addition, the guys should be able to compile their knowledge, be ready to work as a team in order to produce the result in a short time, and then present it to the chief engineers of the companies that are the customers of this project. I wish the guys a good mood for an honest and persistent struggle and, of course, good luck!"— the head of the flagship university noted on the eve of the competition Veronika Efremova.

The finalists' decisions will be evaluated by experts – representatives of Tyumen Industrial Universities and specialists from energy companies in the region.

Following the results of the final in Tyumen, the champions of the CASE-IN School League will go on an educational shift at the Artek Sports Center.

Champions and prize-winners will also receive additional points upon admission to Tyumen Industrial University and the National Research University "MEI" (Moscow).

The event will take place at the address: G. Tyumen, Tyumen Industrial University, 47 Republic Street, 3rd floor, assembly hall, 10.00 a.m.
