 This study examined the potential benefits of using cloud-based, computing in the research activities of engineering students at high schools. It analyzed existing scientific sources and practical work of universities on the topic, as well as the relevance of organizing educational research activities with cloud-oriented means of ICT. Additionally, it developed a prototype system for the implementation of cloud-oriented means of ICT, in the research activities of students of engineering specialties of high school while learning higher mathematics. Finally, the system was tested and its effectiveness evaluated. This article was authored by O. M. Potipova.
