Adventure with robots

As technology became increasingly relevant, and WFH a reality, careers such as coding, automation, machine learning, creating drones that capture aerial footage, and mobile app design have garnered interest, especially among children.

Bengaluru-based institute Emplihi, which conducts virtual classes, will organise an advanced robotics course for children where they will be introduced to Arduino (C++) programming, thereby learning to create robots that perform different tasks. A Robo kit containing materials such as control boards and sensors will enable kids to create projects which will help them master robotic movements and machine learning - creating machines which work with reduced human intervention. Experts will give kids mini projects to complete including creating robots relevant and applicable to this day and age, for example, plant watering robots or those that clean floors.

Pragati Bansal, its co-founder, explains about the course: "Human readable language [C++] is converted to machine language and hence hardware can be formed. Our courses teach kids how to do so - those who want to pursue tech careers. Today, courses in automation, machine learning, aerospace engineering, and computer programming are in demand, because careers in these fields are trending. We want to help children upskill themselves. The sessions will include creating fire-fighting, and keypad-controlling robots." The course will also teach kids how to design voice and bluetooth-controlled robots, along with obstacle-following, obstacle-avoiding, line and gesture controlled-robots among other activities in Artificial Intelligence (AI).
