Mozhaisk Technical School

It's a typical Russian technical school: a three- or four-story brick building with a neat entrance and a sign reading "Mozhaisk Technical School." Near the entrance is a small flowerbed and a notice board with competition posters and a schedule of internships. Inside, there's a wide, linoleum-floored hallway, with WorldSkills posters, portraits of top students, and safety posters lining the walls. Along the hallway are doors leading to classrooms: on the left, an electrical installation lab with transparent partitions; on the right, a computer lab with all-in-one computers on the tables and formulas written in chalk on the blackboard. Deep inside the building is a bustling workshop: it smells of metal and rosin, and is filled with lathes, workbenches, and tool cabinets. A separate wing houses the printing shop: the hum of printing presses, and stacks of paper neatly stacked on shelves. The courtyard houses a training area where students practice driving tractors and cars. Nearby is a fenced-in area for landscaping practice.
