Today we want to talk about one unusual school in Perm, where robotics training has been successfully conducted for several years, and right now the promising “Educational Technopark” project is being implemented. The unusualness of this school lies in its absolute normality - it is a school in a residential area of ​​the city, which at some point began to break stereotypes and the system. The history of the school is also the history of Perm educational robotics. So, the word is from the director of school No. 135 - Alexey Sergeevich Kulyapin.

The prospects for the development of school No. 135 are related to the introduction of educational robotics as the foundation of career guidance for highly qualified engineering and blue-collar professions.

Currently, educational robotics in schools is becoming increasingly important and relevant. Thanks to the study of robotics, technical creativity aimed at designing and constructing robots, it became possible to further motivate schoolchildren to study physics, mathematics, computer science, choose engineering specialties, and design a career in industrial production

A project is being implemented at school "Educational Technopark". It is aimed at modeling a pedagogical system that would meet the development trends of modern society and at the same time would allow us to begin preparing teachers and schoolchildren for real participation in scientific and technological progress and motivate them to master engineering, technical and military-technical professions.

The school technology park is considered as a system of professional tests and practices for students, makes it possible to create an effective career guidance system for students, to popularize in-demand engineering and technical specialties among schoolchildren and their parents; contributes to the creation of a system for identifying and motivating “tech-stars” of primary, secondary and high schools within the framework of network interaction of educational institutions in Perm.

The design of the school technology park became possible thanks to systematic long-term preparatory work, which has already brought worthy results.

Choosing an educational route» within the framework of a network educational project to orient young people towards vocational training and work in mechanical engineering.

Over the past three years, more than 10 innovative projects at the Russian, regional, municipal, and institutional levels have been developed and implemented, most of them have been implemented.

The teaching staff introduces design technologies, tutoring, developmental education systems, and information and communication technologies into the educational process.

About the project "Educational Technopark"

The implementation of the Educational Technology Park project is a further path for the development of the subject and educational field of Technology in school education. The school is a pilot school for the Ministry of Education of the Russian Federation to test a new program in the subject “Technology”.

The main goal is to create a system of technological training for schoolchildren, through individual educational trajectories in the “Educational Technopark”, aimed at the industrial sector of the economy of Perm.

To do this, it is necessary to develop in the student the ability to make a better choice of his own individual educational trajectory through the multi-activity principle of organizing the “Educational Technopark”, the task of which is to include students at all levels of education in the real positive social and sociocultural practice of choosing a future profession.

To create a model of a school graduate ready for productive work in the industrial, scientific and technical sectors of the economy.

For this purpose, age zones of the Educational Technopark have been developed:

• Primary school – “Designing and imagining.”
• Basic school – “Immersion” in a profession, the basis for choice.
• High school - “The architect of your own happiness”, building an individual educational program through professional tests and professional practices.

One of the first steps to update technological education was the development of programs for both classroom and extracurricular activities.

The following programs have been developed for elementary school students as part of extracurricular activities: "World of Professions", , "Legoconstruction", "The world around us", "Modeling" and other programs "Legoconstruction" And "Project activity" contribute to the development of students' creative abilities through design and design activities. Extracurricular activities program "Young cartoon designer" is focused on developing children's creative abilities through the use of fine arts in the process of working with the digital environment, developing basic user computer skills and mastering information technology tools.

About the teaching staff

School teachers Kulyapin Alexey Sergeevich And Ershov Mikhail Georgievich became winners of two methodological competitions within the framework of the All-Russian festival "Robofest -2013" "Best project for the development of the resource center of the Robotics program" And “The best program for the use of robotics in natural science subjects”.

In 2013 Ershov M.G. became the winner of the All-Russian methodological competition “Innovative activities of teachers and students at school”, with the methodological development of the use of robotics in teaching physics, held as part of the II international conference "Engineering culture: from school to production".

In 2013 and 2014, the school took part in presentations at All-Russian conferences “Methodology for teaching the basics of robotics to schoolchildren in basic and additional education”. The school's teachers have more than 10 publications on the use of robotics in the educational process.

Since 2013, the school, together with PGGPU, has been implementing the project “PGGPU in the system of scientific, methodological, personnel and resource support for the development of educational robotics as a learning technology and a means of professional orientation of schoolchildren for engineering and technical specialties.”

About the methodology of teaching robotics

To implement the introduction of robotics into the educational process, the following projects were developed:

• “We create a career with robots ourselves!”: the goal of the project is to create a community of pupils, students, teachers of secondary and higher schools who organize professional tests in robotics (competitions, olympiads, programs, training);
• "With robots into the future": the project is aimed at creating clubs and a robotics club at school.

The implementation of these projects is carried out through the mechanism of individualization of education, inclusion of a tutor in the educational process.

With the participation of the tutor, individual educational routes for students are built, their own individual curriculum is formed from a set of subjects and courses offered by the Educational Technopark. The main thing in the work of a tutor is to identify capable students - “techno-stars”, help in determining individual educational trajectories taking into account the inclinations and interests of schoolchildren, accompanying the student in high school according to an individual educational plan. Professional self-determination is being built in a similar vein, which involves providing technology-oriented children with potential, desire and technical and mathematical thinking with the opportunity to receive additional education in the Technopark. The educational process in the Educational Technology Park is focused on the professional self-determination of the student through practice-oriented courses, pre-profile and specialized training, joint activities of the teacher and the student in educational and creative workshops, in the proposed professional tests and practices.

At the same time, the qualifications of teachers are being improved. During the implementation of the project, on the basis of the school technology park, teachers of the school and city schools, additional education institutions are being retrained in order to master innovations for the implementation of the project and introduce them into the practice of the teaching staff of the school, transferring experience to the pedagogical community of Perm.

Social partners provide significant support. On the basis of agreements with social partners, forces are consolidated within the project in order to attract the necessary additional resources to achieve the goal, coordinate issues of equipping participants in the educational process with modern equipment and software, use the Educational Technology Park as a base platform for holding meetings and on-site classes of social partners.

The activities of schoolchildren in the Educational Technology Park are based on a scientific approach to research educational activities, for which laboratories are created through the variable part of the Curriculum. The results of such extracurricular activities are demonstrated at competitions, contests, Olympiads, and festivals.

About victories

The achievements of students who are passionate about robotics are especially valuable.

In February 2012, in Perm, employees of school No. 135 organized the first city open competition in robotics. Representatives of only three educational institutions took part in it. At the regional Technology Olympiad (2012), only school No. 135 presented project work using robotics.

At the exhibition "Education and Career - 2012" An open regional robotics tournament was held, in which 2 school teams participated. The school's teams took first place in the first regional robotics festival (2012), represented the Perm region in Moscow (2012), where they won the audience award.

The school delegation took part in the All-Russian Robotics Festival "Robofest -2013", representing 3 teams. Team "Diamond" took 2nd place in the category "Freestyle" with the project "Machining center".

In November 2013, the school team won the competition "Young Kulibins of the Perm Territory" with the project "Robot airbrush".

In 2014, 9 teams from the school became prize-winners of the regional festival "Robofest -2014", and in February 2014 at the All-Russian Robotics Festival took 3rd place in the category "Freestyle" and 1st place in the All-Russian conference "Roboboom", which took place as part of the Festival. In 2014, the school’s teams became winners and prize-winners of city and regional competitions "Unique robot in Perm", "WRO - 2014", competition within the exhibition, "Roboleto -2014", a competition held as part of the regional conference "Educational robotics: technointelligence-2014".

In 2013 and 2014, the school became the absolute winner in the team competition of the regional robotics competitions.

Each student studying in the specialized areas of the Technopark undergoes an internship in a modern production facility and receives the opportunity to find employment in their chosen specialty.

As a result, a graduate with a high degree of self-determination and motivation to enter secondary vocational and higher educational institutions of a technical orientation, since he is actually provided with the opportunity to choose a training profile and an individual trajectory for mastering the educational program.

The Agency for Strategic Initiatives (ASI) is determined to make research and engineering activities interesting for children and has already initiated the opening of children's technology parks in many cities of our country. Let's figure out what a technology park is and how it will be useful for additional education.

In recent years, the majority of Russian children have chosen institutions of additional education with a purely cultural or sports orientation. If we look at official statistics, only 4% of schoolchildren visit homes and technical creativity centers. The reason for this is not only the low popularity of such institutions, but also their small number in the regions.

Agency for Strategic Initiatives(ASI) is determined to correct the situation and has already initiated the opening of children's technology parks in many cities of our country. Let's figure out what a technology park is and how it will be useful for additional education.

Where did the initiative come from?

A network of children's technology parks is being formed as part of the implementation of a project developed by ASI. These comrades set out to make research and engineering activities interesting for children. ASI specialists take a clear position that Russia will not be able to become one of the leading high-tech states in the near future if the model of additional education they propose is not used today.

The first technology park under the brand " Quantorium"was opened back in November 2015 in Khanty-Mansiysk and immediately became the object of increased attention from schoolchildren.

As of January 2017, there is already a network of 24 Quantoriums operating in Russia, the geography of which covers almost all regions of our country: from Kaliningrad to Komsomolsk-on-Amur. It is planned that by the end of the year their number will increase to 40.

The implementation of the project is actively promoted by the Russian Ministry of Education and Science. Also among the project partners are Rosatom, Gazprom, Lukoil, Skolkovo, KAMAZ and a number of other enterprises interested in developing the scientific potential of the Russian Federation.

What is a children's technology park?

Children's technology parks"Quantorium" is a platform where schoolchildren, in the format of projects, solve real problems within the framework of promising natural science and technical fields.

The word “quant” refers to all areas of training practiced in Russian technology parks. Among them are:

• neuroquantum;
• bioquantum;
• cosmoquantum;
• autoquantum;
• aeroquantum;
• roboquantum;
• IT quantum.

And this is still an incomplete list. But even looking at it, one can understand that “Quantoriums” cover a wide variety of areas of scientific and engineering activity.

The infrastructure of each technology park includes specialized laboratories and workshops, for example: an IT workshop, a materials processing workshop or a high-tech equipment workshop.

Expected results of technology parks

According to the ASI project, the active work of a network of children's technology parks throughout the country will contribute to:

• The emergence of new highly qualified personnel, taking into account the specialization of enterprises.
• Preparation and planning of the personnel reserve by identifying young talents.
• Reviving the prestige of engineering and scientific professions among young people.
• Technological breakthrough of the Russian Federation.

The plans are, of course, global. But if in the future the organizers show the same enthusiasm and serious approach as today, then they are quite feasible. Especially considering the obvious interest on the part of the state.

How is training conducted at the technopark?

Quantoriums accept children aged 5 to 18 years. The full course of study lasts 2 years. Classes lasting 5 hours per week are free of charge. But even after their completion, the child can spend his free time on the playground, using any equipment.

A child who shows even the slightest interest in technical sciences or engineering will always find something to do in the technology park. Moreover, mastering advanced technologies and acquiring practical skills occurs naturally and easily, since all classes take place in a playful way. This is reflected in the focus of the training program on an activity-oriented approach.

During the first half of the year, children get to know everyone in general areas of work of the technology park, learn to operate machines and other high-tech equipment, and after that they choose what they like best. Although in the future, each child is free to move from one “quantum” to another at will.

On the basis of technology parks, schoolchildren can create their own projects using the most modern equipment. At the same time, their work will be supervised by industry experts and university teachers.

It is interesting that the most talented “Kulibins” will be able to take part in international competitions in leading sectors of technological development.

Among other things, the educational program is focused on preparing children for admission to technical universities. Therefore, classes in the technology park should in no way be identified with visits to clubs, interest clubs or sections of the “Young Technician” type.

In the educational process, attention is also paid to such important points as developing the ability to competently interact in team work on a project and obtaining cross-subject competencies. As a result, after studying at Quantorium, the child will be able not only to understand the basics of research or engineering, but will also understand how to conduct the entire project “FROM AND TO”, including the correct goal setting, distribution of responsibilities and assessment of the competitiveness of the project.

Instead of a conclusion

Children's technical park is an innovative approach to the work of the new system of additional education. Thanks to technology parks, Russian children will be able to acquire initial professional knowledge and skills in technical disciplines at the highest level. Surely such a move will increase the number of highly qualified specialists in Russia and raise our science to a completely new level.

The relevance and necessity of this temporary energy, the need for widespread introduction of environmentally friendly renewable energy sources, as well as the widespread use of individual transport, including small vessels for both legal entities and individuals.

The program was developed jointly with the Skolkovo Business School and the Solar Regatta company. The peculiarity of the program is that, being multidisciplinary, it is aimed at developing practical skills in several areas, including those that are currently relevant for every person: driving an individual vehicle, presenting one’s own project, information support for the project in the media, incl. h. in social networks; entrepreneurial activity. The course, based on real practical activities, gives students the opportunity to feel themselves in the role of a design engineer, designer, watercraft pilot, marketer, and also creates conditions for differentiation and individualization of training.

Project participants will study the basics of shipbuilding, the basics of renewable energy and the principles of creating modern vehicles. Project teams will assemble the ship's hull, master the basics and gain practice in navigation, and in addition, acquire knowledge in kinematic physics, physics of chemical power sources, materials science, mastering the fundamentals of hydrodynamics, electrical engineering, photonics, and business planning. In addition, participants will gain valuable teamwork skills.

Next, students will begin to develop navigation strategies for movement in familiar and unfamiliar environments, study the possibilities of using mobile robots for various tasks, and design modern control systems. The program was developed jointly with Lego education.

mechatronics, application programming

Each object located on Earth has coordinates (latitude, longitude) that allow us to accurately determine at what point in space the object is located. In addition, you can determine the properties of an object: what shape and size it is, what height it is at and in what direction it is moving, its color, temperature, pollution, density and other parameters that allow you to study the object or phenomenon and its changes over time. Technologies for measuring and collecting spatial information using ground, air and space devices, its processing and presentation, are constantly developing and becoming more accessible every day for use in everyday life.

People use complex systems every day, such as GLONASS (navigation), GIS (geographic information systems) and maps (address search, driving directions), without noticing all their complexity behind convenient services (such as Yandex.Maps).

Apart from everyday personal use, geospatial technologies are the basis for the work and development of entire industries and areas in the world: transport and logistics, geological exploration and mining, agriculture, construction and housing and communal services, archaeology, cadastre and land management, urban planning, defense and security, territorial management.

Training is possible according to the following project trajectories (at the student’s choice):
- “My home is the Earth: exploring the World” ;
- "Emergency Duty: Protecting the World" ;
- "GeoPatrol: Changing the World" .

Schoolchildren will receive knowledge that will allow them to understand the fundamentals of the structure of the surrounding world, the laws of development of natural phenomena, and will gain skills in the use of geoinformation tools and large amounts of data. Will be able to implement individual and collective projects in the field of research of the social environment and the surrounding world; start using navigation services and space images in everyday life; collect data about objects on the ground (for example, trees and forests, city houses, fields, mountains, rivers, monuments, etc.); develop projects aimed at improving the quality of life in the region; study individual processes, natural and man-made phenomena. The Geoinformatics (DATA) direction was developed by the Moscow State University of Geodesy and Cartography (MIIGAiK) with the technological support of ScanEx, GEOSCAN Group of Companies, NextGis, and Digital Earth.

geoinformatics

In this direction, we are launching two project trajectories at once. The first of which is implemented in the format of the Capture the Flag (CTF) competition – a team competition in information security. As part of the competition, teams will have to complete tasks on cryptography, steganography, searching for web application vulnerabilities and other aspects of computer and information security. In addition, the teams will master software reverse engineering on mobile and embedded platforms such as Android, iOS, and also study ARM and AVR architecture. The program was developed by the International Academy of Communications. As part of it, children will master programming and design skills in the field of information security, mastering modern information technologies, practical skills in using modern computer technology, peripheral and mobile devices and other technical means of informatization. And also - managing virtual machines, mastering the principles of local networks, increasing literacy in information security.

programming and information security

Since ancient times, man has created tools, tools and household items for himself. People sought to make these objects comfortable and beautiful. Nowadays, objects are created not by individuals, but by industry, factories and entire industries. As a result, goods appear on store shelves. We see many objects with similar functions that are similar to each other. In conditions of serious competition, it is not enough to make an item convenient and beautiful; it must also respond to other consumer requests. To do this, the designer must be able to determine the consumer niche of the product, predict consumer needs, fall into the style of the brand, create an innovative product, design a technological product within a given cost, design items that will delight the consumer, anticipate and anticipate the usual needs of users in their areas.

From the very moment of its development, the laser was called a device that itself searches for solvable problems. Lasers have found application in a wide variety of areas - from vision correction to vehicle control, from space flight to thermonuclear fusion. The laser became one of the most significant inventions of the 20th century. Scientists have invented thousands of fundamentally different lasers with different wavelengths. However, only lasers with several wavelengths: gas CO 2 (10.6 µm), HeNe (0.63 µm), solid-state (1.06 µm) have widespread commercial industrial application. Thus, the potential for the future use of lasers is enormous. Currently, every second machine in the world is equipped with a laser emitter; laser technologies will find their application in all markets of the National Technology Initiative (NTI), in which Russia plans to be a technological leader by 2035.

laser technologies

Augmented and virtual reality is a special area of ​​quantoriums, closely related to any of the others. For almost every promising position in the Atlas of New Professions, knowledge from the field of computer vision, tracking systems, 3D modeling, etc. will be extremely useful. For example, a foreman-watcher will need image recognition systems to assess the progress of construction and adjust it. The designer of intermodal transport hubs will benefit from the ability to visualize their solutions in stereo. Schoolchildren will receive all these competencies in AR/VR Quantum and will be able to apply them in any industry - from creating games to modeling a closed-cycle station on Mars!

Students will learn what it's like to be the creator of their own worlds, understand the possibilities and learn how to work with equipment from futurological films, create their own prototypes of VR headsets and understand that the future has already arrived.

augmented and virtual reality

Technological progress makes it possible not only to effectively use familiar materials, but also to create new ones with specified properties. Discoveries in the industry make it possible to improve the properties and stability limits of materials, mechanisms and structures. You can take your first steps on this path while still a schoolchild and try your hand as a novice researcher. The Nanoquant laboratory is equipped with modern instruments that allow one to synthesize, modify and study materials at the micro- and nano-levels: an SPM Nanoedukator II scanning probe microscope, a ph meter, a spectrophotometer, research-grade optical microscopes and much more. Future nanodesigners will be able to offer their ideas for the technological application of various materials, methods for their production or functional improvement.

nanomaterials research

The relevance and necessity of this additional educational program is dictated by the development of modern biological, medical and engineering technologies in the field of neurobiology, neurosurgery and neurocontrol. The program was developed jointly with the Moscow Institute of Technology. The peculiarity of this general developmental program is that it is aimed simultaneously at the task necessary theoretical basis in the field of neurotechnology and neurobiology, to form practical skills in neurosurgery and on the formation neurocontrol skills of maximum difficulty level.

In addition, student competitions are an integral part of the educational process. This educational program gives students theoretical knowledge and practical skills in a new dynamically developing field of science, practically untouched in the school educational standard - in neurobiology and neurosurgery. In addition, it includes the practical application of completed projects (creating a cyborg cockroach and programming robots): control using a neural interface.

neurotechnology and neurobiology

The “Microbiology and Biotechnology” trajectory is aimed at developing students’ ideas and practical skills in the field of biotechnology. Biotechnology is an actively developing branch of modern applied biology, therefore this educational program is also aimed at developing students’ professional interest in this area. For a long time, humanity has widely used many processes for its needs, without realizing their microbiological nature. Genetic and cellular engineering are the most important methods (tools) underlying modern biotechnology. Cell engineering methods are aimed at constructing new types of cells. They can be used to recreate a viable cell from individual fragments of different cells, to combine whole cells from different species to form a cell that carries the genetic material of both original cells, and other operations.

microbiology and biotechnology

The relevance of the direction is dictated by the development of astronautics and the increasing share of private astronautics in Russia and throughout the world. The program, developed and implemented jointly with the United Rocket and Space Corporation and the Scanex company, allows students to independently select a current problem area and create a project, the final result of which will be a full-fledged engineering development.

The program combines the physical and mathematical foundations of astronautics, 3D modeling and prototyping, device programming, the basics of electrical and radio engineering, electronics, photonics, as well as spacecraft design, etc.

The circle participants will have to go through the full life cycle of the production of a space satellite: from setting the problem to developing and constructing a model of a microsatellite in the CubeSat format. Project teams will determine the satellite's payload, create a computer model of the vehicle in a virtual environment, and ultimately be able to assemble a working model based on a specially designed construction kit (with the possible use of independently developed complex components).

Successful projects will receive further development: design and launch of real spacecraft, participation in international competitions.

applied astronautics

Project team members will have to design, create, configure and test a fully operational remotely piloted vehicle prototype with any type of power plant, except engines running on petroleum products (gasoline, kerosene, diesel fuel). You will need to add a Smart component to your prototype. The created prototypes will take part in competitions at the testing center of the Federal State Unitary Enterprise “NAMI” NITSIAMT. Team members will become familiar with the theory and practice of design, acquire teamwork skills, become familiar with the full production cycle from designing a 3D model to a working prototype, be able to develop creative engineering thinking, and master the basics of electrical engineering, energy, theoretical mechanics, etc.

promising vehicles

Small unmanned aircraft are one of the rapidly developing technologies that can change the face of the world in the near future. Supply chains are already undergoing change. The rise of civilian commercial drone production is inevitable! The program was developed jointly with the United Aircraft Corporation. At the end of 2013, large businesses expressed their interest in unmanned technologies in the most unequivocal way. The founder of the largest American online retailer Amazon, Jeff Bezos, said that his company is investing in the creation of miniature automatic aircraft that can be used to deliver goods to customers. And then several more companies whose business is related to logistics (including the UPS postal service) reported that they were already conducting similar developments.

Muscovites have a wonderful opportunity to distract children from computer games and show them something more exciting. Two unusual technology parks have opened in the capital, where schoolchildren can learn for free how to design robots, assemble drones or, for example, solar-powered cars.

"Quantoriums" is the name given to children's technology parks that work next to "adults." This was done specifically so that children work in conditions as close as possible to real ones: they have modern workshops, computer equipment, 3D printers and active recreation areas at their disposal. As the RG correspondent was told in the press service of the department of science, industrial policy and entrepreneurship, the first Quantorium operates on the territory of the Mosgormash technology park, the second in the Moscow technopolis.

Once upon a time, schoolchildren dreamed of seeing at least one artificial satellite, but today teenagers have the opportunity to assemble such devices. Children's technology parks have all the conditions for this. "Quantorium" is structured like a modern design institute: there are lecture halls where children are given basic technical knowledge, and workshops where children solve practical problems. Teachers assure: now boys and girls are much more interested in doing something with their own hands than reading a paragraph in a physics textbook once again. And the effect is no less! For example, whole groups of guys appeared in Quantoriums who had not yet passed the Unified State Exam, but had already become famous for their useful inventions. Just look at the cost of quadcopters for pizza delivery, which can save culinary businesses millions of rubles. And for potential consumers, delivery drivers can spend several hours stuck in traffic jams. After all, even a nine score on Yandex is not scary for a drone.

Graduates of children's technology parks can sign deferred employment contracts

The most important thing is that the technology park is not just learning from bell to bell. Practice shows: guys don’t keep track of time when working on their projects. But, of course, not every student can immediately decide on their interests in technology. That is why in technology parks children are first instilled with an engineering culture; during this course, the teenager will decide on his interests. Although it is important to understand that each project involves the participation of guys with different skills and knowledge. Take "Anthill on Mars" for example. This is how Quantorium called a special organism: the synthesis of a bacterium and an ant. It will later be possible to launch it onto the surface of Mars. To work on it, specialists in the field of robotics, biology, mathematics and other disciplines are needed.

The most interesting classes are those in which children gain engineering skills. But Quantoriums, as noted in the science department, also conduct on-site school lessons in the technology park. University teachers also come, so there is a chance that a talented student will be noticed at a prestigious educational institution. Residents of “adult” technology parks who develop complex electronics also offer their tasks.

Based on the results of training in children's technology parks, the children defend their own project in front of famous Moscow scientists and managers of existing innovative industries. And this is a direct road to a prestigious and decently paid job. “For graduates of children's technology parks who successfully defend their scientific and applied project, there is the possibility of signing a deferred employment contract with large Moscow enterprises,” noted the department of science. Just recently, innovative corporations signed such agreements with 25 technology park students. They are not formally graduates yet, but they have already made an indelible impression on production workers during joint classes. The agreement guarantees that a graduate of the technology park will receive a certain position in production as soon as he graduates from the university.

Specifically

What do they teach in children's technology parks?

Technopark "Mosgormash" at the address: Kashirsky proezd, 13, offers schoolchildren to study in the following areas:

• robotics;
• geoinformatics;
• astronautics.

The focus of Quantorium at the Moscow technopolis is even broader:

• robotics;
• aviation;
• Industrial Design;
• energy;
• nanotechnology.

How to identify a child for a technopark

You can sign up for the children's technology park by filling out a form on the website dnpp.mos.ru. At the same time, there are no restrictions for the children: the child may not have any skills in working with technology at all, the main thing is interest. Children will be taught how to operate cutting-edge equipment and will develop skills in design, development and invention.
