Kimberlite team at the XIV all-Russian open field Olympiad for young geologists

Abstract

This article is about the XIV All-Russian open field Olympiad for young geologists. Subject Olympiads are a competition of students where participants demonstrate their skills and knowledge in certain disciplines. The children's and youth geological movement in Russia has a very rich history. Today, in the country, the promotion of geological knowledge among schoolchildren is carried out in accordance with the training program, innovative programs introduced as part of the implementation of the priority national project "Education". The All-Russian fields Olympiads for young geologists are held by the Federal Agency for Subsoil Use in different regions of Russia every two years. The organizers of the Olympiad hope that thanks to the movement of young geologists, a new generation of highly professional specialists will grow up. The novelty of the article is the description of the participation in 2023 of a team of schoolchildren from Yakutia in the XIV All-Russian Field Olympiad in Geology in Tatarstan. The experience of the Yakut team Kimberlit should help the next participants of the Olympiad from the republic. Competitions and contests of the Olympiad are original, require non-standard thinking and flexibility of mind. However, many of the tasks of the Olympiad are composed by analogy with previous years. Therefore, an effective way to prepare is to know the specifics of the tasks of the Olympiads of previous years. Observation of the Kimberlite team during the competition allows us to state that the Geology Olympiad provides not only knowledge and skills, but also the experience of human communication, physical training, and everything that is necessary for a real geologist. Participation in the Olympiad is a great responsibility, especially for a representative of a subject of the federation.
