The Center for Additional Education of Children (CDOD) Kodinsk acquired at the expense of the program of charity and sponsorship of the Boguchanskaya hydroelectric power station JSC a set of equipment for teaching schoolchildren in virtual reality.

The set worth 2 million rubles includes ten jobs for schoolchildren and one for the teacher, three helmets of virtual reality with fasteners and other equipment.

“In the 2025-2026 academic year, work on the early professionalization in the engineering and technical direction will continue in our center. Virtual reality becomes an integral part of the educational process.
