Information about competitions hosted on websites www.startinnovation.com and
www.startinnovation.org. Help to participants of competitions is given by training courses (see table) organized in YICC.
The contest for students "Design of biosensors"
The sensors are, as a rule, small devices, that convert the impact into an easily measured signal, for example, into electric signal. Sensors in biological systems are called biosensors. The human body contains millions of biosensors, which define the basic senses – sight, hearing, smell, touch and taste. The devices created by the human, are far behind in the number of embedded sensors.
The task of participants of the contest is to invent and to build with their own hands a simple sensor, that would respond to external stimuli. The solution shall contain a brief description of the working principle of the sensor (1-2 pages), a picture of the sensor (1 page) and test report (1 page). All participants will receive certificate, the winners – cash prizes. The prize fund worth 10 thousand rubles.
The contest for senior pupils "How to build a scanning probe microscope and see the atom"
The contest is held in two nominations:
•"A story about people or companies that have built a scanning probe microscope and saw the atom". The participants of the contest must prepare a report with text and illustrations (from 1 to 5 pages). The prize fund worth 5 thousand rubles.
•"Build scanning probe microscope" – creative solutions for a workable model of a scanning probe microscope, as well as its part. The prize fund worth 15 thousand rubles.
The all-Moscow contest "My first 3D printer"
To participate in the all-Moscow contest "My first 3D printer" should send a brief description of the working principle and design of 3D-printer, a picture of 3D printer and a picture of the part made with its help. The prize fund worth 15 thousand rubles.
The all-Moscow contest "My first plant"
The contest is held in two nominations:
•"Moscow plant". The participant should tell about the history of the Moscow factory, his achievements, the people who are working on it, products. It is necessary to prepare the description, consisting of the text and illustrations (from 1 to 5 pages). The prize fund worth 5 thousand rubles.
•"I am a plant manager ". The participant must propose the concept of the plant, whose director he would like to become. It is necessary to prepare the description, consisting of the text and illustrations (from 1 to 5 pages). The prize fund worth 20 thousand rubles.
The organizers seek sponsors. All prizes can be increased.
Nanotechnologies YICC
The Nanotechnologies YICC was established on a solid foundation – 25 years of experience and knowledge in the field of scanning probe microscopy and experimental nanotechnology. Among the achievements of Advanced Technologies Center and professionals, who organized this company, it should be noted the production start of scanning tunneling microscopes in 1987, the development of Russia’s first combined scanning tunneling and atomic force microscope in 1988, the development of the world’s first scanning probe microscope with full remote control over the Internet in 1997, start of the production of the probe microscopes with help of digital machining centers in 2012. The establishment of the YICC is another important milestone.
YICC specialises in the following areas:
•3D-printers;
•digital machining centers;
•scanning probe microscopes.
3D-printer, digital machining center and a scanning probe microscope have similar high-precision systems for moving of parts or specimen in three dimensions, similar control electronics with the same algorithms of software, as well as a rigid design with a low temperature drift.
In YICC you come all the way from idea to finished product, master a three-dimensional digital modeling techniques, acquire the skills of the designer and technologist and create a working model. Could there be something more fun and useful than the acquisition of knowledge and skills to do what could not do before?
We will assume that the competitions and training courses have achieved its purpose if after ten years in Russia due to our efforts appears 100 high-tech factories. Sure it will happen soon.
We are grateful for the help and support of Moscow Department of Science, Industrial Policy and Entrepreneurship, of the Innovation Development Centre of Moscow, the Lomonosov Moscow State University, the Advanced Technologies Center, Medical Nanotechnology, Academy of biosensors, Energy-efficient technologies, CPT, CNC SCHWEDT, I.Bortnik, M.Kirpichnikov, V.Lunin, V.Makarov, V.Skulachev, V.Tkachuk.
