Ultra-Density of "ChuvSU - Googol". Chronology of the session

Saturday, 09.11.19

The autumn session in discrete mathematics, physics and Informatics "ChuvSU - Googol", implemented by the Chuvash State University within the framework of the Federal project "Campus of Youth Innovations" of the national projects "Education" and "Digital economy", has ended.

We will restore the chronology of events and share interesting details that you may have missed.

ChuvSU Rector Andrey Aleksandrov: "ChuvSU - Googol" was intended to educate not only residents but the University as well. As a rule, we work with adults, full-aged people - with students. And the experience of working with schoolchildren with employers  involvement is a completely new competence for us, and professors, associate professors, young teachers, students themselves studied the methods of working with children. We have succeeded in this, and this is a very valuable experience.

I shall be glad to see all participants of the project at our University as students. Together we will work on your career, we will do everything to make you great specialists.

The results of the grant competition carried out by the Russian Ministry of Education for the right to join the "Campus of Youth Innovations" were announced in Krasnodar in spring. Three dozen projects developed by the country's regions were chosen as participants of the pilot stage. Among them was the application of the Chuvash State University titled "ChuvSU - Googol".

The key goal is to create, firstly, a community of talented young people who are fond of exact sciences and, secondly, conditions in which children could express themselves in practice-oriented circumstances.

Olga Ivanova, mother of one of the participants (punctuation and spelling preserved):

"My son is delighted, and when their team won yesterday, in the evening there was a call, and in a trembling voice he said : Mom, can you imagine? We won, we are the first!!!! And I'm going to Innopolis!!! ChuvSU - Googol  is the way into the future!!! This is for a today's teenager - to gain strength! confidence! opportunity! new friends! I wish you only the best of luck and achieve all heights in all categories!!!»

In September, ChuvSU lecturers and volunteers held a qualifying Olympiad in all municipalities of Chuvashia and nearby regions. Sevastopol "Quantorium" and gymnasiums from the Belarusian Vitebsk joined the selecting process.

As a result, 300 schoolchildren were selected from 2400 participants of the Olympiad, they were invited to the profile session. 15 of them are representatives of Belarus.

"ChuvSU News" kept a regular video diary of the session. This recording was made in the third and fourth days of "ChuvSU - Googol"

During two weeks of the session 30 project teams, into which all participants were divided, had to develop solutions for the cases set by the leading enterprises of the Republic.

To do this, the participants first visited these companies and tried themselves in the role of real engineers, projectologists and programmers on the ground.

Olga Ivanova, the mother of a participant (punctuation and spelling preserved): "I would like to express my GREAT GRATITUDE to the whole team of ChuvSU - Googol. You have made our children's autumn holidays unforgettable. So much useful, interesting and necessary information they learned, how many interesting places and enterprises they visited, what amazing and different people they met. My son is delighted! The whole day he talks about the camp, activities and new friends. THANK YOU VERY MUCH!»

The project partners included the Association for development of information technologies "IT-cluster of the Chuvash Republic", OOO "Leader Soft - Implementation Centre", Cheboksary electrical equipment plant (CHEAZ), OOO NPP "EKRA", GK OOO "ISERV", LLC "Casesystems", LLC "Uplab", LLC "Garant-Cheboksary", the branch of  PJSC "Rostelecom" in the Chuvash Republic, LLC "NPP Bresler", branch of JSC "RusHydro", JSC "Khimprom", JSC "ChPO named after V.

Galina Mikhaylova, the mother of a participant (punctuation and spelling preserved): "On behalf of our family and all our relatives, we want to convey our gratitude to all the organizers and inspirers of the project "ChuvSU - Googol" for your invaluable work !!! The project is very popular with children !!! All parents are happy for them that they got into this wave!!! All our relatives follow the news from the camp "Solnyshko". The day begins and ends with a visit to the group "ChuvSU - Googol" in Vkontakte network. The project is important for the future of Russia !!! Vivat, ChuvSU !!!»

Third, project support was supervised by tutors - ChuvSU students, who had previously proved themselves to be promising and talented engineers and programmers. For example, a seven-time champion of Chuvashia in aeromodelling, a member of the Russian national team and a student of the engineering faculty, Polina Zinovieva, worked with the guys during the session.

This is how project work with tutors looked like during the session

In the very Children resting camp "Solnyshko", where the participants of the session lived, counselors from the pedagogical teams of the Chuvash State University worked with them. Many of them work every summer work  in the most famous Black Sea children's health camps.

 Lecture by Anton Pervushin on the prospects of space research

Lecture by Arseny Ashomko and Anatoly Kapustin on media trends

Lecture by Elena Bryzgalina on the ethics of technological breakthroughs 

Among the speakers of the session was the Deputy of the State Duma of the Russian Federation Alena Arshinova, who raised the question of the expediency of mandatory Unified State Examination in a foreign language. Public discussion of this issue continues.

Elena Solovieva, the mother of a participant (punctuation and spelling preserved): "ChuvSU is the best! Your project ChuvSu - Googol is super! Children like it! My son as well! Thank you for the opportunity to have useful and interesting holidays for our children! Good luck to you! Googol of new ideas and inspirations!» 

All ChuvSU - Googol participants were to wear a common uniform during  key activities . Exceptions were not made even for the Deputy of the State Duma of the Russian Federation Alena Arshinova

On the day of GTO passing in the camp "Solnyshko" master classes were given by  Chuvash cheerleading team "Power", by the way, they are  current Champions of Russia in their discipline, residents of the University's Scientific Collaboration House from the chess club "Debut", among the trainees of which there are several current winners of Chuvashia's Championships and representatives of the University sports club.

One of the most memorable moments of the whole session was celebrating the National Unity Day. The participants staged a mass dance in front of ChuvSU building "G". At the moment, the video of the flash mob has gained more than 16 thousand views.

By the way, on the same day the tourist project " Urban legends "(current winners of the Nationwide tourist competition "Route of the year", held under the auspices of the Federal tourism Agency) organized a big tour of the city of Cheboksary with immersion in its history  for the guys.

Ivan Wolsky, a participant: "Thanks to the organizers for the opportunity to visit this camp, it is a platform for gaining new knowledge, improving yourself, finding new friends, development in all areas". 
November 7, the projects were defended. Most of them were devoted to reducing financial, time and material costs in enterprises with the help of modern technologies.//vk.com/@chuvgugol-komandnye-proekty-finala-keis-chempionata-chuvgugol">You can read about each project and the opinion of the authoritative jury in this regard here

Summing up, it is important to remember the original goals of the project - the victory was not an end in itself. It was much more important to instill in the participants a sense of community and the ability to influence the surrounding technological reality together. Judging by the feedback, the first wave of the community consisting of young talented physicists, mathematicians and computer scientists is ready for the technological challenges of the time.

The implementation of the project "Campus of youth innovations" in Chuvashia by the Chuvash State University will continue. The next session will be announced later.

And we remind  the most inattentive: the word "ChuvSU-Googol" comes from the word "ChuvSU" and the mathematical term "googol" which is a digit with a hundred zeros. And, therefore, the name of the session is pronounced with emphasis on the last syllable.

II Congress of the Russian Literature Society

Wednesday, 6.11.19

Today the Rector of our University A. Yu. Aleksandrov took part in the II Congress of the Russian Literature Society (headed by Patriarch Kirill of Moscow and all Russia) which took place in the Intellectual center - Fundamental library of Moscow State University named after M. V. Lomonosov. A welcoming speech to the participants of the Congress was sent by the Russian President V.V. Putin.

Opening the forum, Patriarch Kirill drew attention to: "Many schoolchildren, unfortunately, have very vague ideas about the unique spiritual wealth that our multinational country possesses. I would dare to offer a generalizing cultural course, around which a holistic understanding of the Russiian history and culture would be formed in the minds of our students".

«We have a national reading support program. It was adopted in 2007 and is designed to be functioning until 2020. But we have to think about the way to compensate for the lack of reading habits, lack of interest in the book. In a good book! May be, it is worth to declare the year of reading in our society in Russia?"- suggested V.A. Sadovnichy, the Rector of M. V. Lomonosov Moscow State University.

The Congress was also attended by the Minister of education of the Russian Federation O. Yu. Vasilieva, the Minister of science and higher education of the Russian Federation M. M. Kotyukov, the head of the Federal service for supervision in education and science S. S. Kravtsov and others.

The Russian language is not just the foundation of the national cultural code but a locomotive for the development of languages of all peoples of Russia as well. The participants of the Congress adopted the decision to prepare specific proposals to improve the education programs for schoolchildren.

The Participants of the Profile Session «ChuvSU-Googol» Are Actively Engaged in Sports and Set Their Own Records

Saturday, 02.11.19

The children successfully coped with passing GTO  standards under the leadership of f-studio: long jump, push-ups, press, kettlebell, flexibility. They could compete in mass-wrestling and arm-wrestling. By the way, all those wishing to be engaged in ChuvSU GTO F-Studio will get a pleasant bonus: Ekaterina Ustinova, the head of the Studio, promised to give a discount for gym membership to all participants of the session. 

Warm-up, training in basic pyramids, extension of the first level were prepared for the children by the famous cheerleader team "POWER". Young athletes performed their first tricks and can be proud of themselves. Ekaterina Korshunova, the team leader, noted: "In these elements, weight is not always important, the main thing is balance. Cheerleading is a combination of dancing, acrobatics and everything together. The cool thing is that even if you have no stretching, then using the elements that we showed today, you can learn to perform in cheerleading."

No less interesting moment today was the games of chess, held simultaneously on 30 boards. Thirty participants from all teams played with AA. Ivanov, a multiple champion in chess. Supervisor of the process was D.V. Fadeev, the leader of the chess club "ChuvSU-Debut". By the way, he told us what differs this game from checkers: "In checkers the most important is tactics,  you just need to count. And in chess there is a lot of strategy, tactics, intuition, more charm, interest. They reflect a person's character. For example, if he likes to attack, then he is assertive in life; if he sits quietly and does not walk – he is timid."

Press Conference About the Profile Session for Schoolchildren "ChuvSU-GOOgol»

Monday, 28.10.19

On October 28, the conference hall of building "G"hosted a press conference dedicated to the international educational session for schoolchildren "ChuvSU-GOOgol". The Chairman of the Chuvash Republic Rectors' Council, the rector of I. N. Ulianov ChuvSU, A. Yu. Aleksandrov, the Minister of education and youth policy of the Chuvash Republic S. V. Kudryashov; Deputy Minister of digital development, information policy and mass communications of the Chuvash Republic E. Yu. Grabko, representatives of the delegation from the Republic of Belarus, N.V. Egorova (gymnasium № 4 of the town of Vitebsk) and E. P. Glukhovskaya (gymnasium № 5 of the town of Vitebsk), spoke to the journalists. The speakers noted that the profile session «ChuvSU-GOOgol" is implemented as a result of the Chuvash State University's victory in Russia's first grant competition for the right to join the network "Campus of Youth Innovations" of the Russian Ministry of Education within the framework of national projects "Education" and "Digital economy". One of the goals for the session is to show schoolchildren how to apply their knowledge in mathematics, computer science and physics in practice.  Sessions of this kind have not been held in Russia until this year.  Profile sessions for schoolchildren are held, but conditions where children would solve real practical problems for existing enterprises are created for the first time. This will make it possible for the young talents to feel themselves real power engineers and programmers.

2400 schoolchildren from Chuvashia, Mari El, Mordovia, Tatarstan, Nizhny Novgorod and Ulyanovsk regions, as well as from the Republic of Belarus took part in the qualifying Olympiad in mathematics, physics and Informatics.  300 students from Chuvashia, Mari El, Mordovia, Tatarstan, Nizhny Novgorod and Ulyanovsk regions, as well as the Republic of Belarus, selected by the results of the Olympiad in physics, mathematics and computer science, will participate in the session's functioning.

The project is unique because the profile session is practice-oriented - schoolchildren not only work with teachers, but offer real solutions for technology companies in the region as well. 30 project teams will offer their ideas to such companies as JSC "CHEAZ", LLC RIE"EKRA", JSC "NPO "Cascade", LLC "Hevel", "RIE Bresler", CJSC "Sespel", PJSC "RusHydro", PJSC "Khimprom", JSC "ChIA nmaed after V. I. Chapaev" and many others.  The residents of the session will study digital technologies in the laboratories of the Chuvash State University with the help of teachers of 5 technical faculties of the largest University of Chuvashia, and open lectures for them will be held by well-known federal experts: head of education philosophy department of M. V. Lomonosov Moscow State University,  Elena Bryzgalina, a Russian science fiction writer Anton Pervushin, an organizer of Russian MEH conferences ("Marketing, Edutainment, Humor") Arseny Ashomko.

Simultaneously with the project in Chuvashia sessions started last Saturday in Nizhny Novgorod, Novosibirsk, Tyumen and Tver regions, as well as in the Altai territory and Dagestan. In total, according to the roadmap of national projects "Education" and "Digital economy» the network will cover more than 150 thousand students across Russia by 2024.

As part of the press conference, an agreement on cooperation and implementing joint educational projects between the Chuvash State University and gymnasiums № 4 and № 5 of Vitebsk (Republic of Belarus) was signed.

ChuvSU Rector A. Yu. Aleksandrov: "The task complexity for the profile session is for the young people to try to perform a real technological project in a team and to solve cases from existing partners-enterprises. Simultaneous integration of efforts of schools, universities and high-tech companies, in fact, is the complexity indicator for these decisions.

This is an important experience for us. I will not say that it is the first experience, but still a profile session has its own specific tasks: to make a project team of completely unfamiliar to each other guys in a short period of time and to create successful practices. This is a serious challenge.

Residents will be engaged in 30 laboratories of the University, the level of their equipment is very high. For example, the laboratory "Digital substation" has no analogues in Russia."

The Minister of education and youth policy of the Chuvash Republic   S. V. Kudryashov:

«When the national projects started to be implemented, enormous opportunities appeared for schoolchildren, students, and educational institutions themselves. New career guidance techniques are needed. 3 institutions of Chuvashia won grants within the framework of the project "Personnel for digital economy": the ChuvSU, "Quantorium" and GES № 61 of the town of Cheboksary.

The result of such projects will be ready-made cases in the areas that are set by employers. I think this is the future, based on the fact that young people belong to generation Z, a generation that is "on first-name terms" with gadgets and digital technologies.

I want to thank our University. In recent years, it has been doing a lot not only to improve the quality of graduates, to create modern laboratories together with their partners-employers, but pays great attention to the modern approach to career guidance as well: this is a Junior School of Physics and Mathematics and "Engineering classes", the House of scientific collaborations named after S. A. Abrukov. I think it will help to build the correct trajectory of education, from a kindergarten to a University".

Deputy Minister of digital development, information policy and mass communications of the Chuvash Republic E. Yu. Grabko:

«We have a national project "Digital economy", within the framework of which the Federal project "Personnel for the digital economy"is being implemented. According to it, by 2024, there should be 800 thousand graduates of educational institutions with competencies in the field of digital economy. Even currently, admission to technical specialties is growing from year to year. It is a great pleasure that the Chuvash State University won a grant for organizing a "Campus" for young talents in the pilot year, since the main direction of the Federal project is to create continuous education system and support of the talented youth specializing in mathematics, physics and high technologies. "ChuvSU-GOOgol» is the first step for our graduates to be able to participate in Russian and international IT hackfests in future». The aim of «ChuvSU-GOOgol» is for children to study not only the theory but to implement their ideas into practice as well".

Tomorrow "ChuvSU - GOOgol" starts the Chuvash Republic. This is a profile autumn session for schoolchildren, implemented in the framework of the national projects "Education" and "Digital economy".  2400 children passed selection in 6 regions of Russia and only 300 were selected, 15 of them are from Byelorussia.

Yes, we also like the name of this project. It is derived from the words "ChuvSU" and "Googol" - it is ten to the hundredth degree. By the way, the company "Google" got its name from the same number. However, the Americans do not pronounce it correctly. "ChuvSU-Googol" correctly pronounced with the accent on "O".

Culture

The KVN team "ChuvSU Team" reached the final of the Central League of Moscow and the Moscow region. The game will be held on the 19th of December. Its winners will have the right to compete in the Premier League broadcast on Channel One.

The contest among first-year students "Become a star-2019" ended in the Palace of Culture. To be serious, it is really worth listening to Catalina Polosukhina from "The team of the three." We promise, it will be an incredible pleasure. 

The final of the competition "Talent show" among foreign students was held at the medical faculty. According to the organizers, "each performance was filled with extraordinary energy and caused a sea of smiles. The atmosphere of kindness, joy and celebration reigned in the Assembly hall." There's nothing to add. We just add that the winner was a student from Turkmenistan Mammetgeldyeva Mayagozel.

Sport

In Kazan, the basketball team "ChuvSU-Atlanta" won the first two matches of the season of the Student Super League of Russia.

Student communities

The Students' Trade Union Committee is in the process of choosing the "Student leader of ChuvSU-2019", so the organizers of the competition held their breath and are not full of events. But they made a cool cartoon - the announcement of the contest "Become a Star". Enjoy:
