The students presented their developments within the framework of the Overclocking project. Maximus"

While the whole world is trying to look into the future, Russian schoolchildren are already creating it with their own hands. In the Overclocking project. Maximus" young engineers from different parts of the country turn bold ideas into reality, assemble robots, develop programs for them and test them in various conditions. Moreover, not every adult can do many of these tasks. Ilya Anikeev, a correspondent for Izvestia, spoke about how science goes beyond textbooks on August 3.

Technology is changing reality, and now children are creating robots — not from cardboard boxes or construction kits, but real ones that drive, fly, lose control, but still win.

"We tested it to make it work, we lost contact a lot of times, we fixed it a lot of times. Even when we brought this robot here, we didn't know if it would go," said a participant in the Acceleration project. Maximus" by Alina Fayzullina.

Get to the finals of the Overclocking project. Maximus wanted thousands of ambitious guys from all over the country, but they chose 20 of the most talented. Now they realize their engineering and technical potential.

"We coded, soldered, and decided to add a little creativity. It was added to the program so that it had some kind of autopilot. Hold it here and press the button, it can spin on its own," explained Matvey Vasiliev, a participant in the project.

"Acceleration. Maximus is a popular science reality show where children who are passionate about robotics design 3D models, print parts on additive printers, and integrate artificial intelligence into machines assembled from them.

"Our Overclocking projects really allow young people, firstly, to feel needed, to find themselves, to find exactly the area that they are interested in, to understand that there are a huge number of opportunities in our country where they can apply their skills, their knowledge, be in demand, useful," said the first deputy Natalia Popova, CEO of Innopraktika.

"Robots are interesting for children of all ages, representatives of the alpha generation and even some millennials. In order for as many people as possible to see what engineering solutions teenagers are creating, all robot tests take place on a large film set," the correspondent showed.

The reality TV format is open, natural, and just right for promoting an intellectual product. If you didn't post it, then you didn't, so every team has a well-known influencer blogger.

"You always need to try yourself in something new, broaden your horizons. For me, expanding my horizons is robotics thanks to this project, and for them. Now everything is based on social media," added blogger SOFI SHINE.

All editions of the reality show "Overclocking. Maximus" is available on the official VK Video page of the project. Judging by the numbers, the format is coming in because it is gaining millions of views.

"When we find new formats, we speak to the youth in their language. They take it better. Everyone understands the format of both reality and short vertical videos now. On September 19, this year, the Razgon festival will be held at the National Center of Russia, which will unite all directions," explained Anna Dunaeva, coordinator of the Razgon youth community.

The Overclocking projects are an opportunity for schoolchildren to open up in different professions: launch a balloon into the stratosphere in the "Overclocking. Space", manage a digital farm with "Overclocking. Agro", to understand the context of historical events in the "Dispersal. The constellation." There are many "dispersals", and the prospects are promising.

"The initiator of the project is Innopraktika, which unites almost all high-tech companies in Russia. Educational, professional, and career prospects in such companies have no horizons," said Andrey Serov, CEO of Mediapraktika.
