Robo Station is a Multi-Disciplinary Robotics program that has been specially tailored to teach young School and College students on Robotics and trains them to Build, Connect, Program and Innovate Robots at our premises.
1. Benefits of RoboLAB
We are living in a technology rich world. Science and technology are
extremely popular with learners of today; they are also pathways to career
opportunities in the future.
It is widely accepted among worldwide educationists that to work and
operate in the learning environments of today, our learners need to be
technology fluent and develop real life skills such as co-operation, self
confidence, teamwork, creativity andinnovation.
Energized classrooms:
Robotics offers teachers an opportunity to be imaginative in
pedagogy. They get an opportunity to rediscover and redesign learning
by engaging students in an inquiry based approach where they
encourage students to collaborate and be creative in solving open ended
robotics challenges. It is well suited for Challenge Based Learning and
Problem Based Learning.
Teachers are also able to monitor students progress through our THiNK
monitoring interface and provide specific guidance to them.
Problem Solving and Training for Future careers:
If students are given the time, space and purpose to build robots and
solve open ended problems, it will allow for thought and action to come
together. The students will get an opportunity to construct knowledge
and build theories, thus, strengthen their understanding of Science,
Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) in collaborative
settings. Robotics also attracts students to content domains such as
2. mechanics, electrical circuits and applied mathematical reasoning that
often are stumbling blocks for middle school students.
Logic Building & Programming:
Program building robots aims to help students develop logic building
and critical thinking skills at a very young age. Our in-house developed
cloud based THiNK software enables students to program robots easily
through simple drag and drop technique. Watching the output of the
program in action form makes debugging programs easier and motivate
students to self learn programming by developing varied programs for
the same problem statement.
Hands-on Learning & Engagement:
It has been observed that learners of all ages enjoy hands-on
construction activities. Robotics provide a context for inquiry and
discovery,leading students become active problem solvers and to engage
in their own learning.The aim of hands on experience with engineering
and mechanics provided in the robotics class is to put students in the role
of creating and designing with information technology and not just using
and consuming it.
Robotics is FUN:
3. An important reason for robotics to be integrated into contemporary
learning environment is that it is FUN! After observing and working with
thousands of students from grade 4 to grade 8 in our year long
program-RoboLAB, summer camps and the yearly all India level robotics
competition organised by us (TRICKS), it is evident that students are
totally immersed in the guided and open ended challenges they are
presented with and often do not want to stop-not even for lunch break.
