The focus is on energy-saving lighting, alternative energy sources, electrical safety basics, electric transport of the future and other areas for the promising development of science and technology. The participants passed school, municipal and regional selection. Based on the results of open project protection, more than 30 people became winners and prize-winners, who managed to convince the jury of the relevance of the topic they chose and the depth of its elaboration.
