The Government of the Russian Federation Tatyana Golikova Ministry of Education of Russia supply of such complexes is assessed as expanding opportunities for students to study electives, in circles and sections.
Complexes for creating drones will help teach schoolchildren the basics of programming, design and piloting, give them the opportunity to better study robotics and remote sensing of the Earth. These skills are in great demand today and will be even more significant in the future in the professions of the future, - said the head of the Ministry of Industry and Trade Denis Manturov. |
As noted in the Ministry of Education, educational and methodological complexes in some institutions will replace similar outdated equipment. The new drones will be used in the study of mathematics, physics, programming and engineering. Schoolchildren will have access to learning in practice. The devices are equipped with gyroscopes, accelerometers, a barometer, a voltmeter, an ammeter, a distance sensor, there are two indoor navigation systems, a high-resolution video camera and a WiFi transmitter. The study of all these devices and opportunities is especially important for schoolchildren as part of the development of circle traffic and the creation of new engineering classes in the near future, for example, in the direction of aircraft engineering, the department said.
The development of the complexes will be carried out by the Russian company Geoskan.
