Last year, the Engineering and Technology Lyceum No. 24 in Neryungri won the coveted "INNOSFERA 2023" grant competition, thanks to the generous support of Elga Coal. This grant helped establish children's innovative centers in the Russian Republic of Sakha (Yakutia). A cutting-edge tech park, known as "Kvantorium," was established within the lyceum and equipped with the latest technology. Elga Coal provided the hefty sum of 10 million rubles towards the project's realization.
Based on the IT laboratory, a whopping 15 IT and engineering projects are currently underway. The lab has even added a new focus on unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), with several student groups already working diligently on UAV-related projects. The IT lab hosts classes for 5th and 6th graders, and students have even had the opportunity to attend conferences nationwide!
A Glimpse at the Lab's Success 📈 💼 Sergey Deminov, head of the "School Technopark Kvantorium," shared the exciting progress made at the lab this year:
- "Elga Coal’s generous sponsorshipsupport has been instrumental in securing a grant and additional funds for the lab. We used the funds to buy a 3D printer. Elga Coal also partners with us for professional orientation sessions, encouraging students to chase careers in technical fields and work at the company" explained Deminov.
Staying true to the lab's ever-expanding vision, it continues to mentor and support innovative projects, giving enthusiastic young developers the opportunity to make a difference in their community and be part of a thriving technological movement.
