Human capital is an intensive productive factor in the successful development of Russia 's digital economy, like any other country. Under these conditions, the general education system should work to prepare citizens for life in a digital society. Educational organizations should create conditions for students to implement personal educational routes, to form basic competences of the digital economy.

In this aspect, an important component of the educational activity of the school is the systematic organization of continuous project and research activities of students based on the active use of digital technologies. The purpose of this study was to develop a procedural model of the student 's project and research activities, which is aimed at preparing the graduate for life in the emerging digital economy. In this context, the project and research activities of a student are considered as joint activities of subjects of the educational process, including subjects of the educational cluster "university-school," to design a study aimed at solving problems of environmental reality on the basis of active use of digital technologies. The model is based on the integrated use of competency, subject-activity and resource approaches. System, continuity, openness, continuity, variability, integration, customization and reflexivity are identified as the most important principles of realization of the student 's project and research activity, which is aimed at formation of his readiness for life activity in the conditions of the digital economy. In the implementation of the project and research activities of the student, three stages have been allocated: the primary link (class 1 - 4), the secondary link (class 5 - 7), the senior link (class 8 - 11). The article describes each of the stages in sufficient detail, including goals and objectives, recommended types of projects and digital technologies used, composition of participants and functions of each of them, formed universal educational actions of students. The developed procedural model of the student 's project and research activity has been tested in the conditions of urban and rural schools.
