Energy experts will talk about the rules of personal safety in the use of household electrical appliances.

Lessons on safe electricity consumption for elementary school will be held at experimental sites in different cities of Russia. For the first time in the classroom the teacher will use the materials of training game My Energy — the first application for life safety education in Russian, implemented in the new game format for the tablet iPad.

Large-scale educational project My energy is focused on children's and adult audiences. It’s goal is to contribute to the formation of a new type of heat and electricity safely and efficiently using energy.

The core of the project is a set of teaching materials for students and teachers in safe and economical energy consumption, developed during 2002-2003 employees of TGC-1 in conjunction with the Academy of Postgraduate Education. In 2004, the course was in the school curriculum for Life Safety, and a year later set of questions from the course was included in the Olympiad for Life Safety. In 2010, the course was interactive and received its own platform on the Internet.

In 2013, JSC TGC-1 released the game My Energy for the iPad. The application has 9 levels that correspond to the lessons of the school course Safe and Efficient Power Consumption. The game is designed for students in grades 1-4 and is in addition to the main content of the program.

Each lesson is logically divided into educational and game pieces. Students have the opportunity to earn points and participate in the overall ranking of players. For teachers this application provides an additional opportunity to track the outcome of the assimilation of the material.
