The one who considers the radio engineering direction outdated and obsolete is wrong - they say, this type of communication is hopelessly outdated, so why understand it? In fact, this occupation is one of the most popular and demanded in our days. The young Popovs and Marconi are attracted by a lot in radio engineering: the opportunity to create a complex device with their own hands, improve or repair an existing one, as well as simply acquire skills that will be useful to every person.

In laboratories, houses and centers of creativity, young radio amateurs of our city have the opportunity to get acquainted with the basics of radio engineering, work with locksmith and assembly tools, and with complex circuits and equipment. Many schoolchildren, studying radio business in circles, take an important step towards their future specialty and profession.

In our city there is no shortage of qualified teachers and masters specializing in radio engineering. Many have received professional education back in the USSR, have devoted many years to leading factories and industrial enterprises and are ready to pass on the secrets of skill and their experience to the younger generation. Children studying radio business often become winners of various competitions, participants in conferences and rallies.

Preparation for soldering microcircuits

Working with a soldering iron and microcircuits is a must for every radio amateur. One of the basic rules for beginners is this: get inexpensive circuits and practice! Only "having filled your hand" with simple ones, you can move on to more complex and, accordingly, expensive. Before you start soldering the microcircuit, you need to remove its excess solder using a copper braid, which is preheated with a soldering iron. Remember that it is thanks to the quality preparation of the base that the success of all work depends! This affects how reliable the future connection with the microcircuit elements will become. The value of resistance also depends on this. Before work, the circuit must be degreased: an ordinary napkin moistened with soapy water will help with this. True, there are cases when you cannot do without a special composition, which can be purchased in radio component stores. Contacts are cleaned with acetone or methyl hydrate - it is the safest for human health.

Soldering equipment safety

Classes of children and adolescents in the radio engineering circle are held under the vigilant supervision of teachers. In any case, the course starts with safety rules. The teacher tells how to properly handle the equipment, setting up, adjusting and operating it. Explains how to be safe when working with the antenna. The most important task of the organizers of the circle in the premises of an amateur radio station is to ensure fire safety. Considering that circuits are most often assembled using soldering, let us dwell in more detail on the basics of working with soldering equipment. You have to deal with high temperatures, so you need to protect your skin. Of course, no one is immune from burns, but caution will not hurt. It is especially important to protect your eyes from burns so as not to lose your eyesight. There is no need to raise the pallet high, wave it - the tool should always be on the stand. When soldering, be sure to wear glasses. Even if you just disassemble the circuit, the solder can splash into the eyes, and injury in this case cannot be avoided.

How to avoid mistakes when connecting speakers?


When connecting speakers, it is important to remember that they are afraid of overload. If it happens, the speaker may be damaged. Therefore, it is important to take into account that the power supplied to it is not higher than the nominal one (less is possible). Before connecting the speakers, pay attention to their rated power (in watts) and the resistance of the voice coil (in ohms).

How to check the state of the resistor?


Not every device works for decades, not to mention its individual elements and details. Often capacitors fail, a little less often, but this occurs - resistors ... It is quite simple to check whether the resistor ordered to live for a long time - you need to measure the resistance. Any indicator is considered a normal indicator if it is less than infinity and greater than zero. Pay attention to the color: the black resistor, as a rule, has already served its purpose, although there are exceptions. The part gets this color due to overheating.

In the second pavilion of VDNKh, the most unusual in Russia "Roboschool" is opened: one of the teachers here is the android Tespian.

In total, 4 courses are open in the "Roboskol". There is "Robotics", which introduces the basics of design, modeling and programming, teaches how to create smart electronic machines.

I would like to tell you about my experience of organizing an electronics club in an ordinary Moscow secondary school. This, perhaps, does not really correspond to the subject of Habr, but firstly, posts about education (higher, additional, abroad, interactive, etc.) appear here quite often, which means they are interesting to many. And, secondly, today's schoolchildren who are fond of IT, electronics and robotics are, in fact, tomorrow's audience of Habr, isn't it?

Motives
Circumstances (c) have so merged that about 1.5 years ago I had a lot of free time, and I would like to use it somehow fruitfully. I thought that I should do self-development: a long time ago I wanted to finally master FPGA, for example, or get some kind of certificate, or implement some of my small embed projects (along the way I signed up for the MIT 6.002x course on edx.org and even finished it successfully in December). But for quite a long time the thought stuck in my head that all this is actually devoid of any global meaning and the ultimate goal is unclear. Except, of course, getting a salary and enjoying the process itself. Have you ever thought about it? What will happen after you develop and write some cool game engine, or another website for a large customer, even if it is very fast and convenient, or program another controller in some production, assembled on the latest fastest MCU with a bunch of periphery and kilometers of wires? What will remain after many years from all this in the bottom? In general, after all this gloomy philosophy, I thought that there should be something other than this and something else should be done. I remembered that I had a radio circle at school. It did not last long, and there was no system in the classroom. Then the teacher himself did not know what we can be taught. However, I still liked going there, there was some inexplicable attraction, mystery and real magic in electronics! It turns out that the radio circle has long been gone, no school handicrafts have survived, but there are still positive emotions. In general, I decided to try to organize something similar myself. For the guys it will be interesting and (hopefully) useful, for me it will be a completely new experience, which is also useful. In addition, when you try to explain something to others, you yourself begin to understand what it is about.
Last year's story, or the first pancake
Last summer, I began to think about where I could organize all this. There were only 3 options: on the basis of some educational institution; in the orphanage of creativity (such, oddly enough, still exist in Moscow and feel great); rent a suitable room on your own. The latter option, of course, is extremely undesirable, because in addition to the actual rent, it will be necessary to issue an incredible amount of papers, certificates and permits from all inspection bodies: firefighters, sanitary and epidemiological supervision, utilities, someone else will apply ... And money for rent anyway, no (classes should definitely be free), not to mention money for inquiries. The option with the house of creativity also turned out to be not the best. The closest one to me (on Ryazansky Prospekt, near the Gorod shopping center) was still too far away to get there quickly after work, and it's not close to the metro either. Although I still went there, I never found anyone from the administration (in the summer, of course, there was no one there). Educational institutions remain: they usually have everything in order with the premises, with the inspection bodies and, in fact, with the presence of children.

I opened the map and began to look at what was in the vicinity of my work and home. Relatively not far from work, I found an orphanage (by the way, I was surprised how many orphanages for mentally retarded children, as well as correctional ones). I chose an orphanage, not a school, because then it seemed to me that they, in theory, should be helped as much as possible. I went to their website, found their mail and sent an email with a proposal to teach classes. Several days passed, and in response nothing at all. Okay, probably people are not up to it, or maybe there is simply no one to read e-mail at all. After work I called, but I managed to communicate only with the security guard, the administration does not stay late at work. A couple of days later, before work, I went there myself. This time, there was not even a guard at the post, and after taking a walk on the first floor, I waited for him for about 10 minutes. When he nevertheless appeared and called the deputy for educational work, I went up to the second floor and again waited in the corridor. Another 20 minutes, the guys have just returned from school, everyone is walking back and forth, but no one comes to me. Half an hour later, I finally met with the employee children. at home, went into her office and I told who I am, who I work, what I want and what I propose to organize. She seemed to be interested and took me to the senior group. As far as I understand, there are guys from 13 to 18 years old. Their teacher was also there. But there were only three guys on the spot: one was about 13 years old, the second was about 15 and the oldest was 18 years old. The elder was specially invited to listen to me, he didn't really want to. And the average was not stopping to play on the computer in FIFA. I sat down and in 15-20 minutes told briefly about what classes I propose to organize: about crawling and flying robots, programming, microcontrollers, participation in competitions, making gifts for the New Year and birthdays, about drawing printed circuit boards, soldering irons, Arduino etc. Naturally, all this is in such a form that the unprepared at least understand something: using the example of cell phones, cars, TV, Christmas lights and the same computer. It seems to me that quite a lot of guys who are interested in technology already at this age understand what it is about, albeit very distantly. I was pretty sure they would be interested in such classes.
However, nothing of the kind! The guy, who was 15, got distracted from the computer and asked if I could teach them how to trade on the Internet Forex exchange. He said that he already had a certain amount of money on his account and it would be great to increase it. To this I replied that radio is not economics, and in general such exchanges only lure out money, and in order to make money on this, you need to know economics, mathematics, statistics well, but in any case, this is not what you are supposed to do. But we can learn to program, and programming can help him in this area! But the guy just got upset and returned to FIFA. I decided to talk to the eldest about his studies. I found out that he is studying at the railway college and that all these blinkers and whistles are up to him as well. Maybe, I think, they just have a lot of electronics with TAU in college already? Maybe automation, or communication, or telemetry - there is a lot of this on the railway. Nothing of the kind - he's just studying to be a train driver! (yes the drivers will forgive me for such a tone) Well, I began to tell you how interesting it is to develop something for the same railway, to deal with some kind of control system, to delve into communication, etc. And in general, there is a huge scope for automation on the railway! But no, the guy said that, in general, he can do everything he needs and does not see any special advantages for himself in the classroom. To be honest, I was slightly unprepared for such a turn. Anyway, he said that I would call in a couple of days and if the guys decide to try, then we will organize a group. I already had to run to work (almost lunchtime), I said goodbye and left. And two days later he called and the teacher said: “You understand, our guys are spoiled by all sorts of circles. It seems that by the evening they have already forgotten that you came. In addition, the eldest is now going to marry and he has no time for you. Will you come and try to talk again, but with other children? "

The conclusions are:
1. One gets the impression that no one except myself needs it for nothing. Neither the manager nor the teacher even asked for my phone number (although, of course, I left all my contacts in the first letter). I myself left my business card at the exit. There can be no questions for the guys, of course, they are still children and still do not understand what is what and what they really need. But at the age of 18, you can already somehow think about your future. Although it may well be that I was not interested in telling everything and could not interest them.
2. Furnishing in children. the house does not give the impression that they do not have enough money for something. Nicely renovated building, good big TVs in all rooms, many guys have better phones than me, computers, normal monitors, desks and so on. But it is not clear what will happen to them when they leave here at the age of 18. In my opinion, no one thinks about how they will support themselves after graduation.
So last year I lost all desire to continue doing this.

Attempt number two
Time passed, and in the winter I again began to think about this idea. By that time, I had already read everything I could find on the Internet about organizing radio circles and even found several special books from Soviet times. I got some useful information on RadioKot, and also talked with two people who are just conducting such classes (hello to Vadim and YS). Unfortunately, a timid attempt to find like-minded people at work did not give a result, so I had to portray something in splendid isolation. Well, okay!

At the beginning of the summer, I finally got my courage and went to school. I have as many as 3 schools right next to my house, almost wall to wall. In the first school, the security guard was pretty bad and at first did not understand what I wanted (probably, the summer is affecting). Then he called someone, but after explaining the situation, he almost immediately hung up and informed me that they did not need me here. And I didn’t even have time to explain to anyone what I was actually suggesting! A very encouraging start, yes ... I decided to try again, since the schools are still nearby. I went into the second. Here the guard turned out to be quite normal, but he said that the school was for mentally retarded children and still there was no one from the administration and office at the school in the summer. Well, I went to the last school. Again the guard, again I introduced myself and briefly described what I was offering. And here, too, there was no one, but “the director just left! Go, catch up. " And indeed, on the steps of the stairs, I caught up with the woman and introduced myself, she turned out to be the director of this school. Again, I briefly told who I am, where I came from and what I want. She found out if I work and what kind of education I have. And it seems that my proposal interested her. Finally! We agreed that I would come in a few days for a more detailed discussion.

I came at the appointed time and began to wait for my turn to get to the director (of course, there are final exams, after all, everyone has clear problems, and besides, teachers also want to solve their problems). Finally, I was invited, and I described in more detail the proposed training program, the number of hours per week and the material base, as well as how many people the group will consist of. The director, in general terms, was satisfied with everything, besides, there were no such circles at the school before that time (I did not really doubt it, of course).

But then I was stunned by the fact that I would have to officially get a job as a teacher of additional education. As it turned out, you can't just come to school and arrange any (albeit free) classes. To be honest, until this moment I somehow did not think about it, although this is certainly correct and logical: you should not let just anyone near the children. I was completely unprepared for such a turn, but there was nothing to do. The secretary began to tell what certificates and documents I would need to collect. I've never collected so much in my life:

  • arrange honey. a book
  • certificate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the absence of a criminal record
  • certificates from drug addiction and psycho. dispensaries
  • certificate from KVD
  • a copy of the work book from the place of work (I get a part-time job)
  • passport, SNILS, a copy of the diploma and TIN
Then my hands dropped once again ... “To issue honey. book ”is not easy to get it. It means first getting a new blank book, then going through all conceivable and inconceivable doctors in your clinic, and then listening to some kind of lecture at the sanitary and epidemiological station and putting on a hologram. Getting a certificate from the Ministry of Internal Affairs is much easier - you just need to hit the road twice, with an interval of a month. It turns out that certificates from the narco and mental dispensary are given only at the place of registration. I have never been to the KVD, too, the pleasure is very dubious. In general, when I took directions to obtain these certificates in the school office, I did not even suspect what I was signing up for. If there are those who wish, then I can write another big article about receiving all these pieces of paper, because when I received them, I probably collected all the rakes that exist. Initially I wanted to fit everything into one post, but this is a completely separate song, full of adventures and unexpected discoveries (here I really want to say something obscenely. But I won't).

So, by the beginning of September (well, around the second week), I was still able to get all the required pieces of paper. At school I met a woman who coordinates the direction of additional. education. She explained how the guys enroll in all sorts of circles, and also gave the requirements for the program of additional education. I agreed with her the number and duration of classes. Wrote a job application and signed it with the director. Then he took all the documents to the HR department, filled out a questionnaire for obtaining a bank card and wrote an autobiography that all teachers write (this is also a rather interesting moment. You need to briefly list your relatives, their occupation, as well as write about your education, place of work and their hobbies). Even though I didn’t talk to anyone about the salary, I still had to get a bank card, and now I’m not just anyone, but a teacher ...

As a result, since Friday, September 13, I am a school teacher. Next, the most important thing is to recruit a group for classes. I drew up an ad, which I hoped to attract the children, and posted it in the most prominent places at the school. In addition, it turned out that the school is not one building, but three. So I posted ads there as well. Plus, we managed to agree that in one of the school buildings I went through classes (from 6 to 10) during lessons and briefly told the children about the circle. Surprising as it may seem, but in 5 days no one called me on the announcement. No student and no parent. There was still hope that we would be able to attract the guys with our announcement. In the morning I came to school, they gave me a primary school teacher as an assistant, and together with her I walked around 10 classes (2 classes in parallel) with a two-minute story about classes in electronics and robotics. Here the effect was much stronger: it was evident that some were interested, some even began to ask questions. At the next break, 5 or 6 people signed up for classes, and the girl was the first to sign up! I was a little surprised, but it's even great. That was the end of my campaign to attract young technicians and I left for work.

As a result, after a few days, there were 12 people on the list of those wishing to study. They are mostly sixth and seventh graders, but there are two out of 9th graders. As I understand it, high school students' interests are somewhat different. During the recording, the parents of one second grader and one third grader even called me twice, but, in my opinion, such classes would be too premature for them. Also last week, I drew up a curriculum required by the Ministry of Education and posted announcements at the school for the first class.

Conclusion
With this, I would like to end an already long post. I don’t know yet whether something will work out of my idea or not, but how I was convinced to organize the classes is quite realistic. There is a lot left behind and I have a story to tell:
  • what is the planned training program
  • what projects do the guys have to implement
  • what about the material base of the mug (all sorts of soldering irons, hoods, breadboards, computers, electronic designers, buying in Chinese stores, etc.)
  • how was the preparation of documents and certificates
  • And the first lesson took place today!
So if the habrasocommunity is interested in any of the above, then you know what to do.
