Competitive Robotics Bringing Excitement Back To The Indian Classroom

Today Indian Schools and society face a crisis of falling short of dynamic thinkers who are needed to solve world problems of the 21st century like climate change, food storage and generation of affordable energy. These major issues cannot be solved unless we have a pipeline of motivated students pursuing their careers.Traditional way of Teaching education to Preschool franchise and high school franchise students needs to evolve at a quicker pace.

With robotics, students go through the entire process of designing and building a robot, and then apply strategic skills to compete with this robot. This full cycle gives them the opportunity to develop a multitude of key skills, as well as the chance to apply theoretical knowledge in engaging, dynamic ways.

At our International kids school franchise, classroom practices of robotics helped the students to perform and it provided a chance to create their own concepts in their minds, and then turn them into something physical with their own hands, 'Creators group' managed to get through the qualifying round but unfortunately couldn't make it to the finals.
