Rostec Opens Doors to World of Biotechnology for Moscow Schoolchildren
Rostec is investing in the future of Russian biotechnology by opening a state-of-the-art Biotech Laboratory at Moscow's Griboedov School No. 1529. This project aims to spark students' interest in promising careers in biotechnology and prepare them for work at the corporation's enterprises.
The laboratory is equipped with cutting-edge technology, including advanced equipment for working with nucleic acids, DNA amplifiers, microcentrifuges, PCR boxes, and electrophoresis chambers. This will allow students to not only study theory but also conduct real experiments, formulate hypotheses, and test them in practice.
The educational program for biotechmed classes includes an in-depth study of mathematics, biology, chemistry, physics, and computer science starting from the fifth grade. High school students will have the opportunity to master the basics of project-based and research activities, as well as gain knowledge in related fields, including specialized courses in the natural sciences and IT. In addition, the program will be enhanced with educational modules from the Rostec Academy focused on developing metaskills.
Leading Rostec companies such as Shvabe, Nacimbio, Tekhnologiya, and OPK, as well as the country's top universities, including Lomonosov Moscow State University, Bauman Moscow State Technical University, Sechenov First Moscow State Medical University, and MIREA, are participating in the project. This collaboration will provide students with practice-oriented training at enterprises and universities, allowing them to master advanced STEM education methodologies.
Nikolay Volobuev, Deputy CEO of the Rostec State Corporation, emphasized the importance of the project in achieving the corporation's strategic goals: "According to the corporation's development strategy, we aim to increase the share of civilian products, enter new markets, and implement technology leadership projects in the biotechmed sector. We need bioengineering specialists, experts in synthetic biology, IT genetics, biopharmacology, and many other fields."
"A unique project is in operation in Moscow that helps students make informed choices about their future professions: pre-professional classes. Today, they are available in more than 70% of Moscow schools. These classes work closely with industrial partners, including leading companies in the country and the city. Thanks to these partnerships, students can gain up-to-date knowledge about the professions that interest them. Moreover, interacting with industrial partners brings students closer to their future careers. They have the opportunity to establish contacts with employers, which can serve as a foundation for internships and future employment after university," Moscow's Department of Education and Science stated.
Training in specialized biotechmed classes will later give students the opportunity to enroll in targeted education under the Rostec.Biotechmed program. The involvement of universities in working with schools will also help improve the professional level of teachers by incorporating knowledge of modern scientific achievements and technological advancements.
