An AI platform with 28 topics is piloting at Innopolis College; schools are still in the plans
Innopolis University showed a platform on Oct 9 with 28 AI topics and a built-in AI tutor. The pilot is running at Innopolis College. Schools in Tatarstan and the Nizhny Novgorod region are still only planned.
The platform is built for grades 5–9 and 10–11. Education Minister Sergei Kravtsov, speaking at the Innopolis Digital Days forum, said a pilot of the course “Artificial Intelligence and Information Security” will start in the second quarter of the 2026/2027 school year, including in Tatarstan schools. The course becomes mandatory in the 2027/2028 school year.
Textbook in progress. A textbook for senior students with AI and interactive illustrations covering math, physics, optimization and machine learning is in preparation. An AI chapter will go into an updated computer science textbook for grades 10–11: the manuscript was planned for submission in Sep 2026, and it is planned for the federal textbook list in 2027. The format is print plus digital, with the digital companion made by Yandex.
The coverage has no access link to the platform, so it can't be tried yet.
Next milestone: a pilot of the course in Tatarstan schools from the second quarter of the 2026/2027 school year.
