Abstract
The concept of STEM implementation in the educational sector of Ukraine as a means of forming and developing skills of research and engineering, invention, entrepreneurship, early professional self-determination, popularization of scientific, technical and engineering professions is analyzed. One of the indicators of readiness of future specialists for innovation is their ability to create innovative projects independently. Therefore, the problem of development and use of innovative STEM-projects to ensure the education of scientific and applied (professional) direction is relevant. The purpose of the article is to outline the concept of innovative activity of students and pupils, to determine the criteria of efficiency of project activity in the system of STEM-oriented learning on the example of the developed STEM-project. As an example, we consider the STEM project, which can be performed on the basis of a modular set of “Smart Home”. The purpose of the technological STEM-project “Smart Home” is the interest of pupils and students in innovative technologies, natural and mathematical disciplines, development of critical thinking, ability to apply scientific and technical information, formation of competence approach and professional mobility, motivation to consciously choose a future profession. The modular set implements the current functions of the “Smart Home” system and is a model of a two-storey building with a garage. The set is developed on the basis of block-modular technology. Each design is an independent technical solution implemented using microcontroller platforms, sensors, servos and other components. Pupils or students under the guidance of the teacher independently assemble the structure, guided by the methodological materials and technical characteristics of the project. In the process of work, they process theoretical material, install electronic components, study technologies for programming microcontroller platforms, perform full configuration of all components and mechanisms of the structure. Key words: STEM-direction, innovation, programming, design activities, platforms Arduino.
