Why schools need lessons in robotics

Technology markets , which not only claimed to be an economic breakthrough , but could fit the interests of educational programs , not so much. Robotics is ideal in this sense .
My Sfera activity has always been associated with the investments , and in recent years, and with education. Problems of the Russian robotics today just at the junction of these two directions - she did not have enough investment and education are lacking . Robotics market , on the one hand, can provide a whole new set of professions , and on the other - gives a huge number of ideas for entrepreneurs and investors .


And now it is important that began two directions mutually enriching each other to their intersection became more pronounced . Robotics should become relevant profession , if you wish, dream profession - that flood the market experts , projects and ideas . A bolder investors should invest in projects proposed by the new generation of entrepreneurs and developers.

Not so many technology markets , which not only claimed the economic mess , but could meaningfully with the interests of today's schools. Robotics - the perfect element of the school curriculum . First, it is a fascinating picture of the future , popularized by movies , literature and games. A rare combination of romanticized world which many still seem fabulous and urgent problems facing humanity . Perhaps something similar was only space - the space program made ​​the dreams of millions into reality.
Secondly , it is very application sphere that requires not only technical, engineering skills , but also creativity , imagination. Lesson labor new generation designers, equipment , homemade items , electronics , gadgets, skills and modern instruments , the initial work with the design. Robotics because of its versatility captures a number of specializations , and some of them have become part of society. Robots will be somehow associated with smartphones , they are just as mobile devices , will have its market applications , their ecosystems - it is a world in which young people are enlightened lives like a fish in water. We can continue to cut jigsaws , but not correct to give to children who are already in the age of four communicate with iPads better than adults , tools of the future , not the past - key task of these lessons - arouse interest in a direction which will save human labor from the monotonous and will stimulate creativity.
Engender a dream - it sverhmissiya . And it should be a new level of entrepreneurial dream that goes beyond conventional thinking . Do not dream of a beauty salon , and the dream of a robot barber . Do not dream of a hotel, and the dream of a robotic hotel, where the wait staff is absent in principle. Proper education will push to ensure that youth with abandon banal and standard approaches . In the usual case, much of what we are taught today , in two years, no one needs . Robotics , located at an early stage of development, in this sense, is exclusive - you can now learn what is really in demand in a few years .


It is important to understand that the future of interdisciplinary : any combination of the project will be in demand in business, engineering and taste , aesthetic thought . Design issues - and we all know that the robot should look beautiful - just as possible as a matter of technique . Such interdisciplinary future must be laid already in the schools.
In economic terms, the embodiment of this dream should lead to the release of the person. For Russia, this task paradoxically urgent as ever. For example, in the country more than half a million security guards ; many of them are young , cute guys who spend their lives know what. This is the flip side , it's the past, and economic and educational. And no matter how we rebuilt the economy , dramatic changes in the labor market without massive robots will not occur .
Including this purpose we organize with friends "Ball robots" in Moscow. The exhibition, which will begin May 15 , you will see the outstanding achievements of modern robotics - the world 's most famous robots in one place. A forum , which starts in parallel, we will discuss , among other things , as a Russian jump into this rapidly growing speed of the train , and not trail after him . One of the themes - how to build a bridge between the government and the people who are interested in the future and are ready to engage . We must work together to understand what the future of the profession and why multidisciplinary professionals in the field of robotics need to prepare now.
