A solemn ceremony of launching the All-Russian Competition for Children's Engineering Inventions "Transport Engineers" was held at the RUSSIA EXPO. The contest is open to children from nine to eighteen years old. They are offered to draft engineering and creative projects.

The competition allows to generate children's interest in transport — this will bring more specialists to the industry in the future, said Oleg Belozerov, Director General — Chairman of the Management Board of JSC Russian Railways. "I see you as the future of the country and Russian railroads. We at Russian Railways do everything to encourage and support talents and endeavors. I am sure that the contest will go well," Oleg Belozerov addressed the schoolchildren.

Holding such events once again confirms that Russia has all the opportunities for development and self-realization, noted Grigory Gurov, Chairman of the Board of the Movement of the First. "We are citizens of Russia, and we have a great future. And it starts precisely with such competitions. In order to develop in the profession, you need to participate in them — then you will get to know other specialists, and they will get to know you. Only together we can build our future," said Grigory Gurov.

The creation of a community of young engineers directly affects the technological development of the country, emphasized Alexander Bugaev, First Deputy Minister of Education of Russia. "Without an engineer there can be no technological process and production. And this is very important for us now. Create and do not be afraid to make mistakes. The future is in creativity," Alexander Bugaev addressed the participants of the ceremony.

The "Transport Engineers" contest will be held in all 89 regions of Russia. The children will be offered to perform tasks in two areas - engineering and creative. Among the expected topics of the projects are the development of a device for collecting small debris from the tracks, the creation of a robot steward providing services, new uniforms for railroad employees, improvement of railroad stations and many others.

The competition will be held in several stages — projects will be selected at the regional level and then at the federal level. In December 2024, the finalists will meet face-to-face and finalize their projects. The competition was organized by Russian Railways and the Movement of the First with the support of the Ministry of Education of the Russian Federation. The operator of the contest is the Federal Center for Supplementary Education and Organization of Rest and Recreation for Children of the Ministry of Education. The idea to hold the contest was supported by Russian President Vladimir Putin.
