To ensure uninterrupted learning without performance-related hardware issues, we have prepared a list of minimum recommendations.
We have defined threshold values for each key computer component at which all course programs operate optimally.
Before reviewing, please note:
Technical support does not provide equipment purchase recommendations. Rely solely on the specifications listed in this document.
All technical requirements and recommendations are minimal.
On equipment below the recommended level, unresolvable issues may occur. In such cases, support may suggest using alternative equipment, updating components, or the operating system.
Requirements for personal computers (PCs) and laptops:
Central processor with x64 architecture and at least 4 cores, released no earlier than 2019.
Recommended:
Intel: Core series – i5, i7, i9 – no older than 8th generation, with a frequency of at least 2.8 GHz;
AMD: all models of the Ryzen series starting from the 5000 series.
FX series models - not lower than FX-8350. Models of the A10 and A12 series (9700, 9800), Athlon 200GE;
Apple: M1, M2 chips and newer.
Not supported:
Intel: Celeron, Pentium.
AMD: Athlon, A-series (A4, A6, A8), Sempron and others.
Processors of other series not listed here that are older than 2018 without multithreading support or with fewer than 4 cores.
___
Graphics card with support for DirectX 11 / 12 and newer graphics APIs, Shader Model 4.0 and newer.
Recommended – discrete graphics card (dedicated chip).
Not supported – integrated graphics card (built into the processor).
We recommend using equipment with a discrete graphics card, as integrated graphics:
Have lower performance compared to discrete graphics cards;
Are not suitable for high-performance programs such as: any graphic editors, Roblox Studio, Unity, Blender.
___
RAM: DDR4 and newer, with a minimum capacity of 8 GB.
Highly recommended: 16 GB and more if Game Design, Unity, or Graphic Design courses are conducted.
___
Keyboard, mouse, sound card, webcam, speakers and microphone or headset: headphones with a microphone.
Tablets:
Tablets are only suitable for courses compatible with our mobile application. For example, the course: basics of logic and programming.
Central processor: 4-core ARM Cortex A-53 or more powerful.
RAM: 4GB or more.
OS: Android version 14 or newer.
Wi-Fi: 802.11ac or newer.
Screen diagonal and resolution:
from 10 inches,
from 1280x800
Please note that the tablet's operating system must support Google services, including the Play Market, which is required for installing applications.
Apple devices are not suitable for classes as they do not support the necessary software and services.
Internet connection requirements:
Online classes
Recommended: from 50 Mbps for online learning.
Minimum: 30 Mbps.
Please note that these requirements are minimal.
For comfortable work, 50 Mbps or higher is recommended.
It is important to understand that this speed is consumed directly by the platform itself and additional software. If other programs using traffic are running simultaneously on the PC, this must also be taken into account.
___
Offline classes
Recommended: From 100 Mbps for a class of 6 students.
Minimum: 50 Mbps.
Please note that these requirements are minimal.
For comfortable work, 50-100 Mbps or higher is recommended.
It is important to understand that this speed is consumed directly by the platform itself and additional software. If other programs using traffic are running simultaneously on the PC, this must also be taken into account.
___
Router
Recommended: a modern Wi-Fi router supporting 15 or more connections.
Not only children will be connecting, but also staff and peripheral devices (lamps, tablets, printers).Strongly not recommended: mobile internet.
Internet connection check
To check your internet connection speed, you can use any speed diagnostic service.
We recommend the following services:
Browsers:
Supported and recommended: Google Chrome, updated to the latest version at the time of the lesson.
Not supported: Internet Explorer, Safari, and other browsers not listed above. Correct operation of the student platform in them is not guaranteed.
Operating system requirements:
Windows:
Recommended:
Windows 11 64-bit
Not supported:
All versions of Windows below 11, such as: Windows 10, 8, 8.1, and 7, as well as any systems with 32-bit architecture.
These OS versions and architecture are outdated and no longer supported by Microsoft developers.
Microsoft has officially ended support for Windows 10.
This means that in the near future, all software manufacturers will stop releasing updates for this operating system, so we highly recommend updating your OS to Windows 11.
For courses such as Game Design, you must have the latest OS updates installed.
OS version check
To check which operating system you have, go to your computer's properties:
Open Start (Win + S) and type "settings", open the suggested section;
Go to the "System" section, then "About";
In the window that appears, you will see system information. Compare the provided specifications with the minimum ones from this article.
Please note: that the visual appearance of the menu may differ from the photo above. If this is the case, make sure you are using Windows 11.
When comparing specifications, pay attention to the "processor", "memory", and other items.
macOS:
Recommended:
minimum - macOS Sonoma 14
supported - Sonoma 14+ and newer
Not supported - versions below macOS Sonoma 14+. These OS versions are outdated and no longer supported by Apple developers.
OS version check
To check which operating system you have, go to the Apple menu in the upper left corner of the desktop.
This can be done by clicking on the "
" icon > "About This Mac".
In the window that appears, you will see an overview of your Mac, including details about the model, processor, memory, serial number, and macOS version:
Linux:
Recommended::
minimum - Ubuntu 22.04
supported - Linux Ubuntu 22.04 and above.
Not supported - versions below Ubuntu 22.04. These OS versions are outdated and are no longer supported by Linux developers.
For the "Game Design" course, you cannot use Linux — Roblox Studio is not officially supported for this OS.
Permitted systems: Windows 11 (64-bit) and macOS Sonoma 14+.
Linux is also not recommended for the "Graphic Design" and "Unity" courses, as the stability of the additional software is not confirmed.
OS version check
To check your version on a Debian system, open the Linux Terminal.
This can be done by clicking Start -> System -> Terminal and entering the command:
cat /etc/*-release 
Other OS
Not supported
Additional software and online services for courses
You can find detailed information about the requirements and clarify the necessary software in the full version of the document: Technical Requirements for Conducting Courses in the 2025/2026 Season, which is constantly kept up to date.
