In Kazan, on the basis of School No. 135 with in-depth study of individual subjects, the educational project "ALChemist" – an intellectual chemistry quest integrating artificial intelligence tools – has been successfully implemented with grant support from SIBUR's "Formula for Good Deeds" social investment programme.

Eight teams from eight schools in the city took part in the event, including students from SIBUR classes. In total, the quest involved 32 schoolchildren in grades 8–11, as well as 16 volunteers and experts from among chemistry teachers.

The "ALChemist" quest took place in two stages: an online selection round and an in-person journey through eight themed stations: "AI-somer", "Electrochemical", "Duel Analysis", "Chemical Element Dish", "CrystALL", "Mysterious QR Code", "Mendeleevskaya", and "Chemical Workshop".

A masterclass titled "Chemistry Around Us" was also held for participants, and as part of a career guidance session, representatives of SIBUR spoke about career opportunities in the petrochemical industry.

As a result of the quest, the 32 participating students improved their level of chemical literacy and mastered basic skills in working with AI tools. All participants noted an increased interest in the in-depth study of chemistry and in applying to specialised universities.

The winners of the quest were:

1st place – team from School No. 135 in Kazan;
2nd place – team from School No. 64;
3rd place – team from Gymnasium No. 12 named after F.G. Aitova.
