Priority applicants would get preference in their admission to the course. Program will run virtually on Zoom.
Build innovative products & Find solutions to world problems
Explore the maker mindset & Build a robotic arm
Develop skills in Electronics, Robotics & Programming
Avail free Tool Kit to build your Robot
Get your hands dirty & Make your ideas happen!
The idea behind the program has been to help teens to start their maker journeys and introduce them to the making culture. In turn, also help build impactful projects in the field of Electronics and Robotics that can potentially solve the UN – Sustainable Development Goals. This 10-day program helps students explore Electronics and Robotics and integrate it into the world of sustainability.
Under the guidance of the mentors, students will learn the basics of electronics and robotics, circuits, Arduino programming, and sensor interfacing with Arduino. Students will work on projects like Circuit prototyping on a breadboard and Intruder Alarm. In the final project, students apply the skills learned by assembling and programming a robotic arm with a use case that aligns to UN SDG 12 – Responsible Consumption and Production.
