In the lead-up to Teacher's Day, the Moscow Innovation Cluster (MIC) has compiled examples of pilot testing of educational innovations currently underway in Moscow schools. These innovations were developed by Moscow entrepreneurs. Their goal is to ease routine tasks for teachers and engage students.

Pilot testing This format allows innovations to be tested in real-world conditions and prepared for subsequent implementation. This format allows schools and colleges to safely test technologies, developers to showcase their innovations to new customers, and the city to make an informed decision about the scalability of projects and their economic feasibility.

An entire infrastructure has been built in the capital for this purpose: the MIC helps select a site, define testing goals and metrics, provide support, and, if necessary, obtain financial support—a grant of up to four million rubles—for participants.

VR physics laboratory

For example, the interactive physics laboratory, VR Physics Lab, is undergoing pilot testing at the Intellectual School. This virtual learning environment allows students to conduct real experiments, but in a digital space. This format allows teachers to safely incorporate complex experiments into the curriculum, and allows students to make mistakes and repeat the experiment if necessary.

A VR lab is augmented reality software. The simulator is based on a physics and mathematics model: the system accurately reads data and maintains quantitative experimental parameters. This transforms the lesson from a demonstration into a hands-on experience: students don't just observe the effect, but conduct experiments themselves and record the results.

The first participants were 50 students in grades 7–11. According to preliminary pilot testing data, more than half of the students independently completed practical assignments, with an average grade of at least 4.5. By using the virtual lab, the school plans to increase student interest in physics as a core subject and increase their engagement in additional educational programs.

AI platform for personalized learning

The L.B. Krasin Moscow College of Creative Industries recently completed pilot testing of a product from Innocifra (a developer of technologies for the digitalization of education). The piloted solution, "Filin," is an AI platform that automatically creates educational materials and generates assessments.

The project's goal is to demonstrate how artificial intelligence can personalize learning and save teachers' time without significant changes to their teaching methods. It is based on an algorithm that, based on the assigned topic, creates notes, suggests assignments, and generates midterm assessments. This reduces the teacher's manual workload and leaves more time for methodological work and interaction with students. A personalized learning path is created for students: the system analyzes progress, identifies gaps, and suggests targeted exercises. Insufficiently mastered material is replicated on the platform for each student individually in the form of generated assignments.

Before launching the platform, teachers prepared the teaching materials, divided them into modules, and adjusted the wording to ensure the algorithm worked effectively with carefully selected and structured content. The experiment involved 172 students in creative fields: 88 studied with the digital assistant, and 84 in the traditional format. The AI-assisted group's academic performance increased by more than 20 percent.

Teachers, in turn, noted the quality of the test generation and the ease of use of the Filina interface for both students and teachers. The program will be tested at other Moscow colleges to gather more detailed feedback. Based on the data collected, the platform and its integration plan into curricula will be further refined.

Digital English language complex

Testing of the new digital English language teaching and learning tool, "Native Class," is underway at School No. 2057 named after I.S. Barov. The tool creates personalized assignments for students and offers teachers various lesson plans. This allows for a personalized approach tailored to each student's needs.

"Native Class" is a digital system where AI technologies help create a personalized educational course. Personalization here means adapting assignments to each student's level and learning speed: the system selects exercises, tracks progress, and suggests areas for reinforcement. The teacher monitors the dynamics of the class and each student individually and can adjust the curriculum as needed.

Over 100 students in grades two through four are participating in the pilot testing. Specialists are customizing the system to match the current curriculum and the students' age characteristics. Students then receive assignments in a digital environment, and the teacher receives ready-made teaching scenarios and analytical data. This method allows for seamless implementation of the technology without overloading the existing process or traditional assessment methods.

The Moscow International School is pilot testing an engineering system from Inzhin, a developer of laser-based solutions. Students are beginning their introduction to the fundamentals of modern engineering in technology classes, using alternative desktop solutions adapted to the educational process.

A hardware and software system for grades 5–11 is being tested. It includes a desktop laser machine, educational modules and teaching materials for teachers, and basic engineering skills development courses. This format provides students with clear practical training: preparing a model for laser processing, adjusting the device's parameters, and evaluating the results upon completion.

Laser material processing technology allows for multiple processes to be performed on a single machine: cutting, engraving, and marking. The range of materials available for laser processing includes paper, cardboard, wood, plastic, fabric, leather, glass, stone, metal, and more. Both flat and three-dimensional objects can be created.

It is expected that upon completion of the testing, the level of knowledge about engineering and laser technologies among the students who participated in the pilot testing will increase.

With the participation of the Moscow Institute of Testing and Evaluation, over 700 tests are being conducted at 293 sites across the capital. This approach helps educational institutions improve the quality of education through the implementation of new methods and digitalization, and helps developers adapt their products to the real needs of their customers.

Moscow Innovation Cluster The cluster facilitates the creation of conditions for the implementation of priority areas of scientific and technological development in the capital, including the development and implementation of modern technologies, the promotion of scientific, technical, and industrial cooperation, and the effective interaction of all participants in the city's innovation ecosystem. The cluster includes organizations from 87 regions of Russia. Developers and high-tech businesses have access to over 50 city-based digital services. The project is overseen by Department of Entrepreneurship and Innovative Development of the City of Moscow.

September 29th marked the 121st anniversary of the birth of Soviet writer Nikolai Ostrovsky, known for his novels How the Steel Was Tempered and Born in the Storm. Kultura Moskvy spoke with Igor Dumenko, director State Museum – Cultural Center "Integration" named after N.A. Ostrovsky, about the author's legacy, the relevance of his works and the activities of the museum, which is celebrating its 85th anniversary this year.

Nikolai Ostrovsky lived a short life, full of challenges. With whom of his famous contemporaries did he maintain close relationships, and who had a particular influence on his work and worldview?

Nikolai Ostrovsky lived in an era when personal connections and ideological values were inseparable from public life. He maintained relationships with several prominent figures of his time, most notably Alexander Serafimovich, the author of "The Iron Stream," who became not only a literary mentor but also a moral compass for Ostrovsky. Serafimovich was one of the first to believe in the young writer's talent and supported him during his most difficult moments.

Alexandra Zhigireva, Nikolai Ostrovsky's friend and a close friend, played a key role in his life. She contributed greatly to both improving the writer's living conditions and to the publication of his novel, "How the Steel Was Tempered." Zhigireva was among those who contacted publishers and newspaper editors to draw attention to Nikolai Ostrovsky's work. He signed her personal copy: "To my dear, dear, beloved Shurochka, from my 'little brother' and friend."

The staff of Molodaya Gvardiya magazine, where How the Steel Was Tempered was first published, also deserves mention. Their support, editorial work, and belief in the text's significance helped it take on the form that made it a landmark work of the era.

— It's known that Vsevolod Meyerhold planned to stage a play based on Ostrovsky's work. What kind of production was it?

Yes, indeed, Vsevolod Meyerhold showed interest in the writer's work. According to an archival note published in the newspaper "Udarnik Metrostroya" on April 8, 1936, the famous director planned to stage a play called "One Life" based on Nikolai Ostrovsky's novel "How the Steel Was Tempered." It would have been an avant-garde production, in the spirit of his theatrical experiments, with an emphasis on the protagonist's inner struggle, overcoming, and transformation. Unfortunately, the project never came to fruition—historical circumstances and Meyerhold's own fate prevented him from realizing his vision.

Nevertheless, the idea of a stage adaptation of the novel lives on: over the years, "How the Steel Was Tempered" has been staged in theaters across Russia and abroad. One of the most striking modern interpretations was the premiere of a dramatic musical of the same name at the Fyodor Volkov Russian State Academic Drama Theater in Yaroslavl. Modern productions, including this one, strive to reveal Pavka Korchagin's character beyond ideological boundaries—as a man fighting for the meaning of life and dignity.

— In your opinion, what is the secret of the popularity of the novel "How the Steel Was Tempered" and its relevance today?

The novel's secret lies in its sincerity. It's not just the story of a hero—it's the confession of a man who lived to the very limits of his abilities. Pavka Korchagin isn't a fictional superhero, but a collective image of a generation learning to live anew after revolution, war, and loss. During the Great Patriotic War, the novel became a beacon for defenders of the Fatherland, a source of strength and self-confidence. Today, the novel is relevant as a conversation about resilience, the search for meaning, and how to preserve humanity in the face of pain and loss. It continues to inspire not with slogans, but with inner truth.

The memorial apartment museum was created shortly after the writer's death. Whose initiative was it?

The creation of the museum is primarily a credit to the women who surrounded Nikolai Ostrovsky. His mother, wife, and sister became the first guardians of his memory. They didn't simply preserve his personal belongings, letters, and manuscripts—they created a space where the writer's living presence could be felt. In 1937, the first Nikolai Ostrovsky Museum opened in Sochi, with his sister Ekaterina as its director. And the writer's widow, Raisa Ostrovskaya, headed the memorial apartment museum on Tverskaya Street, which opened in Moscow in 1940. It was an act of love and respect that we continue to support today.

— Please tell us what contemporary projects continue the legacy of Nikolai Ostrovsky?

Our museum actively develops inclusive and educational initiatives. We host art competitions, lectures, and creative workshops, and develop educational programs. It's important that the writer's voice be heard not only in books but also in a lively dialogue with contemporary life.

— What is today’s museum visitor like?

"Our visitors are very diverse. They include schoolchildren, students, senior citizens, and tourists from the regions and abroad. I'd especially like to highlight our guests from China—interest in Nikolai Ostrovsky remains enormous there, the novel is part of the school curriculum, and Pavka Korchagin is seen as a symbol of courage. But the most important thing is the personal reaction. People come not for ideology, but for human history. They admire resilience, honesty, and the ability to live with dignity. And this makes the museum a vibrant space where generations and cultures meet."

— What do you think, if Nikolai Ostrovsky lived today, who would he be?

"I think he would have been what he's always been—a man of action. Perhaps he would have become a blogger sharing life's unvarnished stories. Or a social activist fighting for the rights of people with disabilities. Or perhaps a writer, writing autobiographies or nonfiction. But in any case, he would have been sincere, straightforward, and caring. His voice would have been loud and honest."

— What chapters in Nikolai Ostrovsky's life remain little known?

Few people know how difficult the writer's path to recognition was. His early manuscripts were rejected, he faced misunderstanding, serious illness, and isolation. Little is said about his spiritual life—his doubts, his inner struggles. These pages are important because they make him more relatable, more understandable, and more humane. We strive to reveal these aspects in our exhibitions and programs.

— How do you feel when you read this quote from Nikolai Ostrovsky's novel: "Know how to live even when life becomes unbearable. Make it useful."

"When I say this phrase, I feel a call to a proactive approach to life, to fight to the end, despite all obstacles. They contain the wisdom of a man who has learned the true value of life and its trials."

— What are the museum’s plans for the future?

We've completed a large-scale re-exhibition, which allowed us to retell Nikolai Ostrovsky's story through personal belongings, documents, and multimedia. Ahead are anniversary events, new exhibitions, and expanded inclusive programs. We want the museum to become not only a place of remembrance but also a focal point for those seeking inspiration, support, and dialogue. We're open to collaboration and believe that Nikolai Ostrovsky's legacy is not just a legacy of the past, but a resource for the future.

In early October, the first autumn berries—sea buckthorn, viburnum, and lingonberry—were joined by hawthorn, rose hips, and chokeberries and rowans from the forests of central Russia. These wild berries are known for their immune-boosting benefits. Farmers bring them from the Lipetsk, Oryol, and Tambov regions.

"Hawthorn can be called a natural medicine, but you should eat no more than a handful of it fresh per day. Rosehips are generally not eaten raw because of their prickly hairs; it's better to throw a few berries in a teapot. I don't recommend adding large amounts to hot drinks; they have a strong flavor: three to five berries are enough for a mug. Any berry you buy should be dry," says Irina from the Tambov region, a participant in the Moscow weekend market in the New Moscow area.

Red rowan contains vitamin C and carotenoids, and its relative, the black chokeberry, is renowned for its high content of rutin (vitamin P) and anthocyanins. Rosehip holds the record for the highest concentration of ascorbic acid, and hawthorn contains quercetin and heart-healthy organic acids.

These berries are purchased individually or in various combinations for adding to compotes and tea, as well as for making desserts and sauces. Autumn berries pair well with other seasonal produce, such as apples or pumpkin. Chokeberry juice serves as a natural coloring, and hawthorn adds a fruity accent to homemade meat dishes. For long-term storage, these berries can be frozen or pureed with sugar. You can also preserve their nutritional value by making pastilles or purees, which can be stored for a long time in sterilized jars. This method allows you to retain the maximum amount of vitamins without adding sugar. When choosing berries, pay attention to their appearance and the packaging, which should be free of moisture.

Products for the fairs are brought in from more than 40 Russian regions. Each supplier guarantees the quality and freshness of their products, and specialists State Veterinary Service of the City of Moscow check the products before sending them to the shelves.

Fair participants are provided with free space. The pavilions are equipped with all necessary commercial and refrigeration equipment and are located near metro stations and other busy locations.

On October 1, volunteers from the Meshchansky District of Moscow sent a shipment of humanitarian aid to participants in the Moscow Regiment's special military operation (SVO). Residents brought homemade and purchased items that will be useful to the soldiers on the front lines.

For safety and warmth

Volunteers sent over a thousand trench candles and 500 square meters of camouflage nets, 50 pairs of warm socks, as well as hygiene products, including shaving kit, toothpaste and toothbrushes, and wet wipes.

The production and collection of humanitarian aid was initiated by Kristina Samsonenko, a municipal deputy, and Yana Romanova, chair of the Youth Chamber of the Meshchansky District.

"Starting in 2023, we'll be organizing fundraisers to help the SVO fighters. These will definitely be held on New Year's, February 23rd, Victory Day, and the start of the winter season. Now is the perfect time to provide the fighters with additional warm clothing and heating equipment," said Kristina Samsonenko.

Trench candles and camouflage nets were made in the summer. The materials were provided by the Meshchansky Municipal District Council of Deputies, and the premises were provided by the "Workshop of Ideas" leisure center. More than 30 activists participated in the project.

The event's organizers also held events at the Festival Park, a site of the large-scale city project "Summer in Moscow." They taught visitors how to weave camouflage and explained the assistance needed by SVO participants.

What is needed most

Volunteers note that during the cold season, trench candles are more important than ever: they not only illuminate the dugout but also provide warmth. In the fall and winter, they are lit around the clock.

"One of our candles burns for four hours; we timed it. For our soldiers, 1,100 trench candles should be enough for more than a month of continuous use," noted Yana Romanova.

Camouflage nets are important regardless of the season: they cover existing and new positions, which are sometimes created daily. Concealment is also used in the rear, so nets are needed in large quantities.

How to participate

The collected humanitarian aid is sent to the SVO zone every two to three months. Activists from the Meshchansky District have already sent 16 shipments. These included over a thousand square meters of camouflage nets, 500 pairs of wool socks, 2,000 dry showers, and 5,000 dugout candles. Volunteers also donated a UAZ vehicle and five quadcopters.

At the "Workshop of Ideas" leisure center, 18 people participate weekly in making essential items: they ensure smooth production and teach beginners the techniques. Anyone is welcome to join the volunteer team. No need to bring anything; materials are provided on site. Volunteers also accept ready-made personal hygiene items and seasonal goods. Currently, this includes new warm socks and mittens.

Over the past three years, 239 humanitarian trips have been organized from the Southern Administrative District to the North-Eastern Military District.Kuntsevo volunteers donated thermal imaging shields to the SVO fighters.

You can participate in making humanitarian aid items or bring finished items to 68 Mira Avenue. Meetings are held every Monday from 5:00 PM to 7:00 PM. The next shipment is expected to arrive in early December.

For more information, you can write to the group messages Youth Chamber of Meshchansky District on the social network VKontakte.
