The relevance of the research problem in this work is due to the tendency to accelerate the informatization of society, contributing to the process of emergence of new competences that are necessary for every successful person. Formation of information competence of students is a necessary part of the educational process of primary school. In the theory and practice of solving this problem, they propose various means aimed at the formation of components of information competence of students, including those in the framework of extracurricular activities. At the same time, the resource of modern multimedia technologies together with the organization of project activities is not sufficiently studied. Therefore, we see the purpose of the study in considering the concept of “information competence” in relation to students of primary school age, as well as developing and testing a program of extracurricular activities, the implementation of which makes it possible to form all components of information competence of students when organizing project activities using multimedia technologies. The study assumed the use of an integrated approach, characterized by the use of methods of analysis of psychological and pedagogical literature on the problem of research, the selection of substantive characteristics and the main components of the information competence of primary school students on this basis. Taking into account the identified theoretical approaches, a holistic experiment was organized, including diagnostic and formative stages, which made it possible to identify the developmental potential of multimedia technologies for the formation of information competence among students. We associate the theoretical significance of the study with the modification of scientific approaches to the consideration of the "information competence" concept. The practical significance of the study is to consider the methodological aspects of planning the content of the extracurricular activities course to create effective conditions for the formation of information competence of students. The proposed course is modular in nature and it is based on the organization of project activities of students with the inclusion of multimedia technologies at its different stages.
