school, college and students. As this was totally new experience of teaching and
being taught, students loved it. A week before conducting any workshop, we give
one and half hour orientation to the students in respective institution to communicate
with students what they will learn in workshop as well as to talk to the administration
for arrangements for the workshop. We did orientation in more than 200 institutions
but conducted workshop in less than 20 of those.
Regarding the response from students, engineering students said “Now I feel like
I am an engineer”, while
2 college students said “I finally understood how circuits
work” and school students said “I wish every class was this fun”. We saw the effect of
robotic workshop in a class, students were being curious and were asking questions,
they were discussing with their peers, they were processing the information provided
to them, they were engaging in challenges and they were having fun while learning.
The robotic workshops really changed the environment of a classroom and learning
experience. For 6 months we conducted orientation programs and workshops targeted
to National Robotic Competition “Yantra 1.0”.
