On 18 October – 6 December 2020, the online course "Energy4me", was organized by Gubkin University SPE Student Chapter for high-school students. Over 60 students from more than 30 Russian cities became participants of the course.
In the fall semester 2020, the course included seven lectures:

In addition to the lectures, two laboratory sessions “Kern” and "Perforated well casing", as well as a virtual tour of the Orenburg Gas Condensate Field and a nuclear power plant simulator in the Roblox application were organized.
During the course the participants were given assignments on the topics covered. One of them was aimed at designing offshore platforms from improvised items, which enabled students to demonstrate their engineering and design skills.
As part of the course, the participants were also given an opportunity to present their scientific papers at the 12th International Youth Scientific and Practical Congress «Oil and Gas Horizons», many of which were focused on geology, development, engineering and petrochemistry.
