Abstract
Currently, significant changes that actively take place in modern Russian society affect all spheres of its development. Today, due to economic globalisation and high rates of innovative technologies development, special attention is paid to the education system, where profound changes occur. Today, the educational process is focused on the development of personal characteristics that meet the requirements of a modern educated person. In this regard, the task of educational institutions is to adopt the educational process to today’s realities. To achieve this goal, STEM education is implemented. It helps children to delve into the logic of the events, understand their relationships, systematically explore the world and thereby generate curiosity, engineering style of thinking, the ability to get out of critical situations, to develop teamwork skills and learn the basics of management and self-presentation, which, in turn, provides a fundamentally new level of personal development.
 Keywords: Science education, STEM education, innovation, technology, robotics, microcontrollers, sensors, programming
Highlights
Almost 2 years ago, Vladimir Putin said that the shortage of qualified engineering and technical personnel was even more important problem for Russia’s economy than corruption and administrative barriers
Creating a self-training robot can deal with such concepts as coordinate axis, angles, curves and even basics of neuro networks, algorithms of finding the shortest way in shortest time, different sensors based on fundamental mechanical, optical, electromagnetic laws
Once the value is lower than the threshold, D0 has to output high level and the indicator LED on the analog temperature sensor module and that attached to pin 13 of the Arduino Uno has to go out
Summary
Almost 2 years ago, Vladimir Putin said that the shortage of qualified engineering and technical personnel was even more important problem for Russia’s economy than corruption and administrative barriers. STEM helps children to delve into the logic of happening phenomena, to understand their relationship, to study the world systematically and thereby to generate curiosity, engineering style of thinking, the ability to get out of critical situations, to elaborate teamwork skills and learn the basics of management and self-presentation, which, in turn, provides a radically new level of child’s development. STEM differs from traditional education implementing a mixed learning environment It shows students how the scientific method can be applied to everyday life. The process of implementing STEM technologies in educational institutions is a great responsibility for the teacher It is a challenge for his/her cultural and organisational position. The teacher needs to constantly replenish his knowledge about new technologies, as they develop and change very quickly (FloydSmith et al, 2010; Frantskevich, 2014; Tarakanova, 2017)
