At the time of the launch of the Programme, the level of involvement of children in the Irkutsk region (the region where the Company operates) in additional education was 50.7%. Another problem is the outflow of young people from the regions due to the lack of prestige of working professions and infrastructure for development.
Goals:
• develop modern digital competencies of children and schoolchildren
• raise interest in engineering professions and work in the manufacturing sector
Tasks:
• create conditions for the development of engineering and technical skills
• conduct career guidance events, educational conferences and festivals for schoolchildren
• organise scientific, technical and natural science creativity courses for schoolchildren, parents, people of retirement age
•Schoolchildren of different ages

En+ Group has developed a design project for a multimedia coworking space with an area from 70 to 200 sq.m., equipped with the necessary equipment for developing skills in the field of 3D modeling, robotics, Internet of things, video production, as well as computers and modern furniture.
The project is being implemented in two stages - at the competition stage, schools and educational institutions submit an application for the implementation of the Multilab project on their territory, and based on the results of the work of the expert commission, winners are selected. The winners of the competition receive a renovated room according to an agreed design project, equipped with furniture, necessary equipment and software (transferred to the winning institution on the basis of a donation agreement).
The following types of events are held on the site:
• Creation of laboratories in schools equipped with modern computers, sound and video equipment, as well as equipment for development in the field of robotics, 3D modeling, electronics, Internet of things and video production;
• implementation of career guidance programs for additional education in the field of engineering, research, entrepreneurial training and development of soft competencies;
• holding educational and scientific-practical conferences, competitions in professional areas
• holding popular science festivals and open days;
• organizing courses in scientific, technical and natural science creativity for schoolchildren and their parents;
• organisation of special educational courses for people of retirement age (for example, computer literacy).
Since the launch of the project, En+ Group has already opened 7 multilabs in Irkutsk, Bratsk, Angarsk, Divnogorsk, Krasnoyarsk, and Nizhny Novgorod.
