In November 2007, the Inter-School Scientific Society “Magnit” was created, which united all urban and almost all rural educational institutions, as well as institutions of additional education.
For seven years, active work has been carried out among students, teachers of all educational institutions to study the basics of research activities, to prepare various educational, creative projects. Many scientific societies of students managed to adequately present the work of their children at regional, regional and even all-Russian conferences, become diploma winners and laureates.
Every year at the end of April, a municipal scientific and practical conference of students "Step into the Future" is held, which essentially summarizes the results of the academic year. The conference is distinguished by the fact that it covers more than 120 students of grades 2-11, heads of school non-governmental educational institutions, teachers engaged in research, design, and creative activities.
The purpose of the NPK is to stimulate the interest of students in research, educational and creative search; identification of works worthy of participation in the All-Russian program for schoolchildren "Step into the Future". Based on the results of the work of our conference, a range of serious works of students is determined for participation in the regional scientific and practical conference "Step into the Future", junior intellectual competitions.
The status of the conference is becoming more and more significant from year to year, since in addition to the Regional Representation of the MOU Lyceum UKMO, not only the Education Department of the UKMO, but also the Department for Youth Policy, Culture and Sports of the City Administration, the Committee on Youth Policy under the Administration of the UKMO who constantly support children and teachers who boldly and persistently walk the thorny path of knowledge. This allows all of us to more confidently make our "Steps" into the future.
