So, Maria Mishchenko from school № 482 chose the development of local self-government.

The cycle of cognitive-game programs for gifted children КЛЕVER, which was held for the first time, will be annual. This was decided at a round table meeting that brought together teachers and representatives of universities, on the basis of which the previous stages were held (North-West Institute of Management, RANEPA, St. Petersburg State Technological Institute and the Higher School of Press and Media Technologies SPbSTDD). Moreover, thanks to this project, high school students can assess their knowledge not in one, but in several areas at once within the walls of specialized universities, which helps to determine the further choice of profession.
