The lack of necessary specialized skills and practice makes it difficult for today’s high-tech students to find employment. A wide range of competencies may be required here. In nanotechnology, it is necessary to be well versed in the properties of materials and objects on the nanometer scale. When developing high-precision mechanical systems, it is necessary to have experience using CAD and CAM systems, multi-axis machining centers with numerical control. Formation of a platform for the development of special competencies in the areas demanded in science and business for students is a necessary and urgent step in successful innovation infrastructure development. Lomonosov Moscow State University has such a platform – it is the Youth Innovation Creativity Center "Nanotechnologies" at Physical department.

INTRODUCTION
The Youth Innovation Creativity Center "Nanotechnologies" of the Physical Department starts a new academic year and launches new courses on physics of living systems, scanning probe microscopy, 3D design, etc. The exciting journey of the nanoworld can begin with studying the scanning probe microscope [1]. A fascinating journey into the nanoworld can begin with studying the structure and principle of operation of the scanning probe microscope [1]. Without understanding the basics of piezo displacements, laser optical system and proportional-integral-differential (PID) controller, it is impossible to start mastering the basics of microscale. All these concepts are clearly and easily explained in the video on the channel "A glimpse into the nanoworld", which can be viewed on video services [2].
YICC
The YICC is equipped with advanced facilities: 6 multifunctional scanning probe microscopes FemtoScan, 3D printers, 3D scanners, laser engraver, CNC milling and engraving machines. The Center is currently developing new advanced directions: "Biointerfaces for living neural networks", "Study of the effect of drugs on living cells", "Methods of delivery of biologically active compounds into plants", "Plant viruses as potential adjuvants".
The YICC also hosts regular excursions for schoolchildren, where they are told about the innovative scientific projects and facilities that await future students within the walls of MSU.
The children get acquainted with probe microscopy on the FemtoScan microscope, study modern trends in nanotechnology and our research on viruses, bacteria and cells using probe microscopy. Students have the opportunity to experience live operation of instruments and software of the most advanced versions made by the Living Systems Physics group [3–5].
YICC "Nanotechnologies" participates in various offsite educational and training events.
From 19 to 26 August, the MSU Project School of Science and Technology, organized with the support of Rosatom State Corporation, was held at the camp of FSUE RFNC-VNIIEF in Sarov. It was attended by 50 students of 10–11 grades from Russian cities. They learned the basics of scientific research and realized their own projects under the guidance of students and graduate students of the Physical Department, while immersing themselves in the student life of MSU.
Not only excursions and classes, but also conferences take place at the YICC. Together with colleagues from the Biological Department, we organized and held a mini-conference "The World in a Drop of Blood" on researching red blood cells and other blood cells using various modern methods.
In June this year, the Commission for Project Activities of the University Gymnasium MSU together with the National Intellectual Development Foundation ("Innopraktika") selected the most interesting tasks for schoolchildren, and our project "Physics of Living Systems: Scanning Probe Microscopy" was selected for implementation: now we participate in the project fair at Gymnasium, where we tell about future tasks that can be solved using probe microscopy.
Within the framework of the project "NASHA LABA" we prepared the project "Scientific Experiment Automation System "Krugozor" for participation in the federal project "Development of Domestic Civil Instrumentation for Scientific Research". Following the results of consideration by the industry working group at the Expert Council of the Ministry of Science and Higher Education of the Russian Federation on domestic civil instrumentation, the project was recommended for face-to-face presentation. The "Krugozor" system is a family of fast-acting data acquisition and control systems for high-tech equipment and measuring scientific complexes. It includes software with graphical interface, fast electronic system using high-performance FPGA controlling a wide range of DACs, ADCs, frequency synthesizers, amplifiers, synchronous detectors, feedback systems, etc. The system is designed to be used as a central control core in microscopes, spectrometers, lithographs, 3D printers, milling and turning centers, robotics systems. The system is intended for use as a central control core in microscopes, spectrometers, lithographers, 3D printers, milling and turning centers, robotics systems.
The "Krugozor" system offers a fast and efficient solution for building physical experiment equipment, professional measurement and control electronics with highly advanced FPGA-based "brains". It is possible to use it in technological and production equipment. The "Krugozor" system routinely replaces oscilloscopes, frequency meters, generators and measuring systems, widely used not only in science, but also in production.
CONCLUSIONS
There are always a lot of events and a lot of ideas at the Nanotechnology Center of Physical Department: how to develop and assemble an innovative device, how to observe a living cell and see what no one has ever seen before, how to program a software to control ultra-precise movements, how to prepare a nanometer standard, or weigh a single bacterium. There are many tasks, the main thing is enthusiasm and desire to develop, and we will always be glad to advise you where to get the necessary tools.
The main task of the YICC is to attract young people to creative work, to instill in young participants the skills to develop useful high-tech products that are in demand. We are trying to solve this task. On this path we are actively assisted by the non-state development institute "Innopraktika", with which we are in close cooperation in working out methods, approaches, tactics and strategy of educational and training activities that help young people to successfully pass the path of a pupil-student-postgraduate-innovator. This is the path of success.
