Technological advances are increasingly penetrating all spheres of human life. Today, one of the priority areas for the development of the state is the development and improvement of robotics. Modern children live in an era of active informatization, computerization and robotics.
It becomes natural that a modern teenager cannot but be interested in robotics and IT programming.
School curricula do not allocate hours for acquiring knowledge in the field of robotics, and it is precisely in childhood and adolescence that children show an increased interest in what can be made, designed, and transformed.
Therefore, four years ago, the idea arose to create the direction of Robotics and programming within the framework of additional education.
Robotics is associated with a wide variety of sciences and scientific fields: electronics, mechanics, computer science, radio engineering, of course, and mathematics, cybernetics and ICT, physics, biology, and such humanities as linguistics, ethics, aesthetics.
In our classes, based on a student-centered approach, the child develops and improves such mental operations as analysis, comparison, analogy, generalization.
The development of the child is comprehensive in accessible form. The lessons are based on a learning game and technical creativity at the same time, which contributes to the education of active people of the future who are passionate about their work.
Our advantages: Robotics makes it possible to combine modeling, design, and programming in one program (course). Robotics classes provide a good start for the future, arouse children's interest in scientific and technical creativity, and contribute to the targeted choice of an engineering profession.
Classes in robotics are the first step on the way for a teenager to realize the importance of his education!
The Robotics and Programming program includes the study of mechanics, statics, modeling, microprocessor systems, WEB programming, and the study of programming languages. Classes in the club also increase the motivation of students in mastering school subjects.
Designing together with the creation of 3D models and conducting a huge number of experiments allow not only to develop perseverance, acquire teamwork skills, but also develop spatial thinking and imagination, which are so necessary in everyday life.
One of the effective ways to master the elementary basics of robotics is to design robots using the universal Lego constructors, the Lego Mindstorms NXT constructor is used as a platform, and the special programming language PervoRobot NXT is used for the program on which the model should operate. It is in NXT that the huge potential of Lego Mindstorms is laid. The controller's memory contains programs that can be downloaded from a computer. Information from a computer can be transferred either using a USB cable or using Bluetooth. In addition, using Bluetooth, you can control the robot using a mobile phone. To do this, you just need to install a special java application.
This construction set and its software enable children to learn from their own experience, which, in turn, makes them want to move on the path of discovery and exploration.
On November 8, 2018, the first branch of our club was opened in Bataysk, Rostov region, Russian Federation. During this time, we have grown from one branch, one city and one country, and continue to grow. Branches are located in three countries and already in more than 10 different cities. Over 5,000 children have been trained in four years. Now we are visited by more than a thousand children of different ages.
Every year we expand and improve. There are more of us, because children are interested, in addition to classes for children, holidays, competitions, olympiads, competitions are organized and held, and any recognized and appreciated success adds self-confidence.
There are more of us, because the purchase of our subscriptions is available for parents, and employees receive the highest earnings in the labor market in this segment.
Our team becomes bigger because the founder of Robotics and Programming Shcherbanov Semyon Vladimirovich (he has three higher educations in the field of pedagogy, psychology and engineering) and teachers are constantly improving, studying the latest programs in various areas, monitoring emerging equipment, establishing contacts with universities and colleges, who have faculties in this field.
All in all, robotics is both a great way to prepare children for a modern life filled with high technologies, and the main means of creating their successful future, because. robotics education is becoming in demand today.
