Abstract

Engineering creativity has always attracted people. New areas of focus have appeared in this field thus making the theoretical foundations more sophisticated and changing the age range of learners who can study engineering creativity. Changes in the structure and content of the process require trained specialists who can apply new methods in teaching creative approaches to engineering tasks. The present research work is focused on the necessity of training the specialists prepared to work in different areas of children's engineering creativity and organizing a system of training such specialists. The results of a sociological survey of students and an analysis of the circle activities of the "School of Programming" based on the Centre for Organization of Pre-University Education at the Blagoveshchensk State Pedagogical University are presented. The article analyses the need and possibility of training the students, future teachers, to organize the clubs of engineering creativity. A special feature of the study is a presentation of the program of training non-physics and non-math majors to be organizers of robotics clubs.
