#ARCTIC. #SIBERIA. THIS IS TAIMYR. From September 2024, a regional center for identifying, supporting and developing children’s talents will begin operating in the Krasnoyarsk region on the basis of the Cosmonautics School. It will help gifted schoolchildren from 10 to 17 years old to improve in one of three key areas – science, art or sports.

Children with abilities in the exact sciences will be able to get acquainted with engineering professions that are in demand at industrial enterprises of the region, in the innovation sector, in the defense complex, Roscosmos and Rosatom.
The Art direction will accept children who are ready to improve in the visual arts, acting, music and dance.
Young rugby players, football players, basketball players and future chess champions will be able to develop in the Sport direction.
A federal grant has been allocated for the center, with funds for which they are already purchasing equipment for educational laboratories in physics, chemistry, computer science, robotics, astronomy, biology, hydroponics, aquaponics and city farms, purchasing furniture and office equipment.
