A STEM project was implemented, which is intended for students of technical specialties to study the principles of building and using a computer system for segmentation of images of railway transport using fuzzy logic. The project consists of 4 stages, namely stage #1 "Reading images from video cameras using a personal computer or Raspberry Pi microcomputer", stage #2 "Digital image pre-processing (noise removal, contrast enhancement, contour selection)", stage #3 "Segmentation of images", stage #4 "Detection and analysis of objects on segmented images by means of fuzzy logic". Hardware and software tools have been developed for the implementation of the STEM project. A personal computer and a Raspberry Pi 3B+ microcomputer with attached video cameras were used as hardware. Software tools are implemented in the Python language using the Google Colab cloud platform. At each stage of the project, students deepen their knowledge and gain practical skills: they perform hardware and software settings, change program code, and process experimental images of vehicles. It is shown that the processing of experimental images ensures the correct selection of meaningful parts in images of vehicles, for example, windows and number plates in images of locomotives. Assessment of students' educational achievements was carried out by testing them before the start of the STEM project, as well as after the completion of the project. The topics of the test tasks corresponded to the topics of the stages of the STEM project. Improvements in educational achievements were obtained for all stages of the project.
