ТГК-1 провела энергомарафон для петербургских школьников

On April 30, 2014, at the venue for the International Children’s Design, Fine and Applied Art Competition, ‘The Room of My Dreams’ the JSC TGC-1 energy marathon got underway.

Eight teams of students from years 7-9, from residential school №28 and grammar school № 524 in St Petersburg, participated in the energy marathon. After the draw, each team was named after one of JSC TGC-1’s power plants in St Petersburg and the Leningrad Oblast; they then travelled on a fascinating journey through the history of Russia’s oldest power generating facilities.

The children took part in an energy quest-quiz. The teenagers ‘warmed up’ during the first stage of the quiz, completing multiple-choice type tasks. The second stage of the quiz involved answering tricky questions about energy and the third stage was to put together a colourful energy puzzle based on JSC TGC-1 facilities.

A series of films, ‘Energy: how does it work?’ helped the students to cope with these tasks. Creative tasks also formed part of the programme: the teams were presented with their own project that focused on issues relating to resource conservation and energy efficiency.

– Children need to be told about energy efficiency and about having a responsible attitude when it comes to using resources. We conduct educational activities for school students on a regular basis – trips, workshops and open classes, said Svetlana Krasnoshchekova, JSC TGC-1 Head of Department for Work with the Authorities and Voluntary Organisations. “Today, everything went with a ‘Hurray!’ – a sea of smiles and positive emotions. The children learned a lot of new things and the tasks set for them will help to consolidate the material covered.”
