Abstract
The article discusses the search for ways of professional self-determination of schoolchildren in the field of information technology. It justifies the need for an informatics teacher to have the vocational guidance competencies necessary to familiarize schoolchildren with the professions of the future in the field of IT, as well as develop the modern ideas about the purpose of these professions. The material for competitions while an extracurricular training event for high school students "Future professions in the field of information technology" is given.

Abstract
Educational robotics can be considered as one of the areas of the STEM educational system (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics), since in the classes on robotics, students develop knowledge not only in informatics, but also in physics, chemistry, mathematics, technology. One of the important areas of work with schoolchildren in the field of robotics is their participation in robotics competitions and the corresponding preparation of students for these competitions. The article discusses the experience of using the VEX IQ in robotics classes with elementary school students and the peculiarities of preparing students for the All-Russian VEX IQ Challenge robotics competitions. The importance of dividing the preparation for the competition into two stages — preliminary and main — is justified. The preliminary stage includes the study of the basics of design, programming, mechanics and robotics, the design of robots according to ready-made instructions, and participation in VEX IQ Challenge training competitions. The main stage includes the design of a competition robot, its construction, programming, modeling, robot control, further participation in the All-Russian VEX IQ Challenge competitions and analysis of the work done.

Abstract
The article discusses the main trends in the study of programming languages in the school course of informatics. The programming languages (Basic, Pascal, C, Python, algorithmic language) that are acceptable for use at the Unified State Exam in informatics and ICT and their main features are listed. The analysis of the use of the proposed programming languages in educational and methodological kits on informatics is carried out. The program of the elective course for teaching the basics of programming in Python is proposed. It contains an explanatory note, goals and objectives of the course, thematic planning, course content, expected learning outcomes. The methodical material on the theme "Programming of branching algorithms" in Python is considered.

Abstract
Today our society has reached such a level of development that in many areas of human activity, it is robots that perform different types of work. This is especially true for those areas that are associated with a danger to human life or require serious physical costs. But robots are still only performers. Algorithms, programs by which robots function, is written by a person. Thus, man occupies a major position in the human—robot tandem. To compile algorithms of different levels of complexity, a combination of theoretical knowledge and practical skills is needed, which are formed both in the process of mastering the theoretical foundations and in the process of continuous practical activity on applying the theory to the implementation of various kinds of tasks.The article presents guidelines for creating infographics for students under the guidance of a teacher in extracurricular computer science classes using special computer programs. The article presents guidelines for creating infographics for students under the guidance of a teacher in extracurricular computer science classes using special computer programs.

Abstract
The article is devoted to the study of foreign and domestic experience in using augmented reality applications in classes in various disciplines, including tools that a teacher can use in everyday activities to increase the effectiveness of teaching school curriculum subjects. The review of modern mobile applications with augmented reality elements suitable for use in the educational process is presented. For example, the article describes the applications Quiver and Animal AR 3D Safari for kids; Surface math AR, Geometry — Augmented Reality, AR Geometry applications for studying mathematics; AR Human Atlas, Anatomy AR Book for studying medicine; Mondly AR for studying foreign languages. The new technology Merge Cube (a hologram in pupils' hands), which is used in applications Mr. Body and AR Medical to study anatomy, Galaxy Explorer to study the solar system, Museum Viewer to visit a virtual museum and study history is described in the article. The availability of augmented reality technology for use in the educational process is demonstrated on the basis of constructors such as HP Reveal, CoSpaces Edu and EV Toolbox. For example, HP Reveal and CoSpaces Edu were used to create interactive content such as video content and a dynamic animal gallery to explore the world around. CoSpaces Edu was used for creating interactive dialogs in English based on elements of block visual programming. EV Toolbox was used to create the simple application that was the project based on marker technology to study the history of the V. I. Vernadsky Crimean Federal University.
