For reference:
CYIC is the center of children's creativity of a new generation with modern universal prototyping equipment, which can be used simultaneously from 10 to 15 people. Laser engravers, 3D scanners, milling machines and 3D printers allow to quickly getting the layouts of parts of any complexity in dimension. The first opening of CYIC in Russia took place on February 27, 2013 in Kazan in Innovative Technopark “Idea”. Tatarstan became one of the 13 regions, in which were created more than 30 CYIC. Today in the republic there are 10 centers located in Kazan, Zelenodolsk, Chistopol, Leninogorsk, Bugulma, Naberezhnye Chelny, in Drozhzhanoe and Bogatye Saby rural areas.
Since the opening the Tatarstan centers have been visited by about 5,500 children. Schoolchildren and students have the opportunity to realize their ideas on modern universal equipment. As part of the activities in CYIC there has already appeared the first company created by students. The children have constructed the 3d-printer and are involved in its promotion.
In 2013 in the framework of a summer school camp “Technopark Saby” students of CYIC developed and installed on a special platform prototype of “Duck farm”, intended for the supply of water and feed to the birds. The installation is a unique invention of schoolchildren, collected from various parts and electronic components. Special weight and humidity sensors allow, if necessary, to supply water and food in trays of the “farm”.
Another school project “Robotic manipulator-prosthetic device”, developed by Kazan senior pupil, became the winner of the X Anniversary Competition “50 Best Innovative Ideas for the Republic of Tatarstan” in the nomination “Perspective”.
Note that the Association of Innovative Regions of Russia (AIRR) and organization “Youth Innovative Russia” (YIR) are ideological inspirers of the creation and development of CYIC network in Russia. Financial support for the project is provided by the Ministry for Economic Development of the Russian Federation and the Association of Innovative Regions of Russia.
