Abstract

The development of creative abilities in children of primary school age is an important aspect of their educational and personal growth and serves as the foundation for future professional success. At this age, children are in a stage of intense exploration of the world and the formation of basic cognitive skills and abilities, making this period particularly suitable for stimulating and cultivating their creative capacities. The general creative abilities of an indi-vidual are formed through the organization of complex environments, including technogenic ones. The prospects of utilizing educational robotics for fostering the overall creative aptitude of younger students are demonstrated. The possibilities of employing the LEGO® Education WeDo 2.0 Maker sets in working with primary school children to develop their general creative capabilities are examined. It is shown that such work has been successfully im-plemented over a span of four years in St. Petersburg within the framework of the «Robotohod» club, with the sup-port of the scientific-educational center of St. Petersburg State University, known as «Mathematical Robotics and Artificial Intelligence».
