TSU hosted the final preparation sessions at the FabLab Innovation Centre for Youth Creativity as part of the Maker School project presentation of the. TSU Student Valery Serpiva won a grant from the All-Russian Competition for Youth Projects, UTRO-2016 Forum, making the Maker School possible.

This is the first of such events to be held at TSU. Throughout, program participants explored their own ideas and finalized prototypes for working technological devices, among other useful things. As stated by Serpiva: «All FabLab resources are aimed at creating the best possible high quality products usable in various areas of our life." Indeed, during the engineering school, participants worked on several projects. In particular, they started to assemble an Inmuv robot, managing to construct both hands and program them to execute various commands. In addition to that, students designed a quadrocopter-transporter and a quadrocopter-scout, a platform for 3D-scanning, and a gyroscopic mouse during the program’s duration. As part of the program, young inventors attended free workshops on programming digital electronics (Arduino), 3D-modelling and vector graphics, and a training course on neural networks. Additionally, they had a motivational training workshop that included a road map from project idea to implementation. TSU FabLab employees have recently begun preparations for the Interregional Maker School project,which is going to gather children from other FabLabs, YNAO, KhMAO and towns of the Tyumen region for establishing joint projects. It is expected that this project will take place in February 2017.

A little video game-playing 'linked with better-adjusted children'

A new study suggests video game-playing for less than an hour a day is linked with better-adjusted children and teenagers. The research, carried out by Oxford University, found that young people who indulged in a little video game-playing were associated with being better adjusted than those who had never played or those who were on video games for three hours or more. The study finds no positive or negative effects for young people who played ‘moderately’ between one to three hours a day. However, the study, published in the journal, Pediatrics, suggests that the influence of video games on children, for good or for ill, is very small when compared with more ‘enduring’ factors, such as whether the child is from a functioning family, their school relationships, and whether they are materially deprived.
