Summer School of the Small Academy of Sciences

Together with the Faculty of Electronics, we took part in the work of the section "Electronics and Instrumentation" of the summer scientific-profile school of the Department of Engineering and Materials Science of the Kyiv Small Academy of Sciences of Student Youth, organized for students in grades 7-11.
During the event, students had the opportunity to get to know the world of modern electronics, talk to the teachers of the department, and see the scientific and technical developments of our specialists in action. The participants were shown the process of designing integrated circuits, the capabilities of a bedside patient monitor for registering biomedical signals, and much more.
The students were particularly interested in working with the Arduino hardware-software platform for developing electronic devices. The students learned about the principles of microcontroller programming and the practical possibilities of using Arduino in educational and engineering projects.
The guests of the event also got acquainted with the educational program "Electronic Micro- and Nanosystems and Technologies" of the specialty G5 "Electronics, Electronic Communications, Instrumentation and Radio Engineering", learned more about studying at Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute, the department's partners, and the career prospects of graduates. In addition, the participants were demonstrated modern software for designing microcircuits, examples of biomedical signal processing were given, and how innovative technologies are used in real engineering and medical tasks were shown.
