ROBOTICS IN SCHOOLS…………….! WHY?

Harnessing the young growing population of India could prove to be a huge challenge if not channelized properly. The education system focuses more on rote based learning and lacks engaging, motivating and hands-on-learning approach. Bearing this in mind we at G.D.GOENKA PUBLIC SCHOOL are determined to train our young innovators to work on hands on projects that help in solving real life problems.
To encourage this a robotics lab has been set up which is entirely different from a traditional classroom. The lab is equipped with 21st century skills that encourages students to think in a critical way. Here learning is both fun and interesting with hands-on-activities. These activities encourage students to discover latent talent, creating new innovative ideas thus equipping them with knowledge to design and create technology needed. The students will discover talent that they may need in this job market. The various domains of coding and engineering are taught in engaging ways. The student develops a great sense of achievement after the activity is accomplished.
Technology related activities play a pivotal role in developing student’s mind. In schools, robotics is used as a technology that helps collaborate between teachers and students in their real time.
Robotics is the science of engineering that overlaps with artificial intelligence, electronics, computer science and biotechnology. The impact of robots in future is impossible to predict. The knowledge of technology in 21st century is incomplete without the knowledge of artificial intelligence. Learning to build a robot also opens up opportunities in job market. Today AI-powered software robots are into sales business. The first human robot is also created. Robots can be used to place humans in life-threatening situations. NASA’s Mars Exploration Rover (MEA) mission is an ongoing robotic space mission involving two Mars Rovers, Spirit and Opportunity, exploring the red planet.
