Educational experience for schoolchildren

April 21, 2023 at the Kapshagay hydroelectric power station named after Sh.Chokin conducted an excursion for students of the 5th grade of secondary School No. 5 named after A. Zhubanov.

– As part of the educational plan, on April 18, a class hour was held dedicated to the monuments and historical sites of our city. For a detailed study and delving into the history of the city of Konayev, an excursion to the city-forming enterprise was organized. As a homeroom teacher, I wanted to show the children where the history of our city began. Thanks to the support and permission of the AlES management, we were able to visit the Kapshagai HPP. Children also paid tribute to the memory of the first builders of the station and laid flowers at the memorial on the territory of the hydroelectric power station, “said Makpal Aitbek, class teacher of the 5th” D ” class.

The station was visited by 18 students. Before starting the tour, the children were told how to observe safety procedures at the station. The students were accompanied by Botagoz Salmakeyeva, chief specialist for technical operation and industrial safety, and Kanat Cheryazdanov, master for operation and repair of hydraulic structures.

– We told the children about the history of the station, the structure of hydroelectric power plants, showed buildings, hydraulic structures and the water area of the station. It was obvious that the guys were interested, they asked a lot of questions. I think the children were satisfied and received a lot of informative information – ” Kanat Cheryazdanov continued.

Sevara Rakhimzhanova saw the operation of the hydroelectric power station for the first time.

– They explained to us how aggregators work, how energy appears, where water flows from. There are many workshops at the station, but we only went to the safest one. There was a crane that lifted loads for the aggregator. The hydroelectric power station has a brain, there is even a button to turn off the entire station. You will ask: “What is it for? After all, the station can not be turned off even for a second, it works 24/7.” This button is needed in case of an accident. It’s never been used in all these years! We also got acquainted with the board of honor, where we were told about the first builders and veterans of the station. We laid flowers at the memorial, which is located on the territory of the station, “Sevara, a student of the 5th” D ” class, shared her impressions.

The excursion at the station became a fascinating and informative experience for schoolchildren.
