The new industrial revolution Industry 4.0 determines several trends in digital technologies, among which there is the Internet of things – a network of digital devices that communicate with each other via the Internet. The areas of the Internet of things application are quite broad: industrial technologies, remote technologies of service and every-day life, educational technologies. Modern digital technologies must be included in the content of technological education at school and in the training of technology teachers. This is also determined by the national projects «Digital Economy» and «Education», which are currently being implemented. The purpose of the article is to consider the technologies of the Internet of things as the content of educational course for future technology teachers. An analysis of educational programs and training courses on the Internet of things shows that these programs are designed, implemented and they are actual for technical universities. However, the Internet of things is not included in educational programs for training technology teachers. And this is a problem since technology educational course at school should demonstrate modern digital technologies, including the Internet of things, and this requires appropriate technological and methodological training of technology teachers. We have proposed an educational course «Internet of Things», which is an integral part of «Digital Technologies» section within the educational programs for training technology teachers in Syktyvkar University. The purpose of the discipline is to familiarize students with the basics of the Internet of things technology. As a result of learning the discipline, the student must: know the terminology, hardware and software for implementing the Internet of things technologies; be able to use the acquired knowledge in educational and professional activities; know the basics of the Internet of things. The content of the discipline includes four sections: Introduction to the Internet of things; Technical means of the Internet of things; Network technology of the Internet of things; Services, applications and models of the Internet of things. The laboratory practical work of the discipline is implemented in three cycles of classes: study of algorithms for connecting various sensors and control devices to Arduino controllers; learning technologies for remote interaction with Arduino controllers; carrying out mini-projects based on case technology. The proposed course allows future technology teachers to acquire competences in the field of modern digital technologies.

The paper discusses the basics of building multirotornyh systems as unmanned aerial vehicles to detect and extinguish fires. The basis of the flight controllers systems are implemented on the basis of microcontrollers. The paper describes the terminology and basic parameters of multirotor systems.
