Developmental environment for design

Self-analysis of the developing subject-spatial environment

in the junior group "Akbuzat" in light engineering

The developing subject-spatial environment of the junior group for light design is rich in content and corresponds to the age capabilities of children and the content of the program, giving children the opportunity to show their individuality and realize their ideas.

The group has created a “Construction Center”, where the necessary building materials are located: Lego construction sets with parts of different sizes; cubes with pictures; building material (wooden, plastic): cubes, prisms, bricks, plates, etc.; toys for playing with buildings (cars, dolls, Christmas trees, trees, flower beds, flowers, lanterns, and other attributes that develop children’s imagination); "Railroad" set; models, diagrams, drawings, pictures of various buildings, illustrations of cities, bridges, streets, etc.; mosaics of different sizes and shapes and patterns for laying out patterns from it; cut pictures, puzzles; “Cuisenaire Sticks” construction set, dienes blocks, wooden insert construction sets, stringing construction sets, waste material from cardboard boxes,

The Builders Center is safe and meets sanitary and hygienic requirements and fire safety rules. The corner is located by the window, away from the constant movement of children and adults, well lit, does not take up much space, and is quite mobile. The contents of the construction corner allow you to organize constructive activities with a large group of students, a subgroup and individually, to develop construction on the carpet or on the table.

The games, manuals, and furniture in the center are multifunctional and suitable for use in various types of children's activities.

The organization of the developmental subject-spatial environment for light construction in the group is built in accordance with the age and gender (for boys and girls) characteristics of the pupils.

The group has free access for children to toys, materials, and aids that provide all basic types of children's activities.

In the corner for parents, consultations for parents were posted: “Designing in a child’s life”, “First steps in working with paper”.

In the future, it is planned to enrich the construction center with Lego Duplo construction sets, dienes blocks, and thematic construction sets.

PIXEL School of Programming and Robotics

Address: 17 branches in Moscow, Moscow region and Tula + online school + video lessons on YouTube
age: 5-17 years
cost from 3500 rubles / month
website: https://clubpixel.ru/

Does your child love games and dream of creating their own?

The PIXEL school of programming and robotics invites children from 5 to 10 years old to attend the full-time course “Robotics based on Lego WeDo 2.0”.

Children from 5 to 7 years old will master all simple mechanisms, learn how to create them themselves, and have an understanding of the operation of complex mechanical devices such as, for example, a gearbox. They will learn what gear, worm, cam, and crank gears are and how they work.

The knowledge and skills acquired in these classes will help develop the child's fine motor skills and associative thinking. Assembling a construction set will help you understand subjects such as physics and computer science, obviously raising your child’s interest in them. After completing the course, children are better aware of their surroundings and show interest in further developing their knowledge and skills in the future.

For children from 7 to 10 years old: the set is programmed using visual programming blocks of the Lego Education WeDo 2.0 environment. This environment is designed so that children who do not have programming skills can control robots.

At this stage, children will learn the basics of programming . Upon completion of the course they will be able to:

independently start and stop engines;
control the robot using sensors;
will study concepts such as “Expectation”, “Cycle”, mathematical probability and much more.

Robotics club "Start-Pro"

address - lane Protopopovsky, 5;
age – middle and high school students;
cost – budget and extra-budgetary classes are provided;
website – www.mgpu.ru/centers/startpro/nashi-zanyatiya/uchebnyj-den-v-start-pro/

A fairly popular robotics club for children in Moscow is organized on the basis of the Institute of Educational Education at Moscow State Pedagogical University. Engineering training includes work in a number of disciplines: robotics, mechatronics, electronics and communication systems, computer security, aircraft design. Classes are held on high-tech equipment. The organization’s well-established connections with scientific institutes and business representatives allow children not just to learn, but to look for ways to implement the most daring ideas. An additional advantage of the Start-Pro project is the regular conduct of career guidance trainings, which help prepare teenagers for a quick choice of profession.

"Technorama in the South-East"

address – 1st Veshnyakovsky passage, 1, building 8;
age – from 5 to 12 years;
cost – from 725 rubles per lesson;
website – www.tehnorama.org/courses/engineering-robo

Robotics classes organized at the training center are useful not only for young engineers, but for all children over 5 years old without exception. They develop children's logic, creativity, systematic thinking, improve fine motor skills and expand their vocabulary. While attending classes, the child will gradually learn physics, mathematics, mechanics, programming, logic, English, and drawing. Moreover, everything will happen not in the format of boring classes, but in the form of the implementation of interesting team or independent projects.

Moscow Palace of Pioneers

address - st. Donskaya, 37;
age – from 9 to 17 years;
cost - on a budget basis, there are paid groups for children 7-8 years old;
website – www.dnttm.su/ucebnye-gruppy/robotics

The most famous Moscow Pioneer House does not offer robotics for preschoolers. But classes for schoolchildren are conducted with an almost professional bias. Children 7-8 years old can enroll in the paid course “My First Robot”. There they will be taught the basics of creating models using LEGO constructors, as well as the principles of equipping objects with control sensors. After this, you can think about enrolling in one of the one-year or two-year intensive programs. This could be “Fundamentals of Robotics”, “Robotics”, “3D Robot Modeling”, “Robot Programming”, “Flying Robots” and much more.
