This year, high school students joined the Olympiad for the first time. Cases relevant to teenagers were developed for them — from organizing a party to counteracting fraudsters and involvement in droppering.

The schoolchildren did the best job of completing the task “A Smart Holiday”: they had to draw up an event plan, take into account possible expenses and correctly distribute the budget. 64% of the Olympiad participants coped with this. 49% developed an effective strategy for building eco-friendly facilities to obtain maximum profit in the “Eco-friendly City” simulator.

The most difficult block was the “Financial Labyrinth”. In it, the participants applied the basic financial concepts in practice in the format of a platform game – money, savings, earnings. The “Fraudsters” task also proved problematic for most schoolchildren. Only 45% did not fall into the scammers’ net.

“Children are not interested in simply answering questions – they need game mechanics, and they want to solve problems that they may encounter in real life,” said Mikhail Mamuta, head of the Service for the Protection of Consumer Rights and Ensuring Accessibility of Financial Services. “That is why life cases were created for them using algorithms of popular games – for example, procedural generation, where the circumstances of the game change as you progress, you need to overcome obstacles and choose paths. The children had the opportunity to hone their skills in proper financial behavior, including in an artificially created stressful situation.”

The Olympiad was held on the educational platform Uchi.ru from March 4 to April 3, 2025. Schoolchildren from all over the country solved the competition tasks. Most of the participants were from the Rostov Region, the top five also included the Kemerovo, Volgograd, Moscow Regions and the Republic of Tatarstan.

The organizers of the Olympiad were the Bank of Russia, ANO National Priorities, the Ministry of Finance of Russia, the Ministry of Economic Development of Russia and the educational platform Uchi.ru in accordance with the goals and objectives of the national project Effective and Competitive Economy. The event is held with the support of the all-Russian public and state movement of children and youth Movement of the First.
