Students can build prototypes of devices like traffic signals, street lights, and electronic voting machines, while developing essential skills such as logical thinking, problem-solving, and analytical abilities through programming with these kits.
The Kerala education department has installed an additional 20,000 robotic kits in government and aided high schools in an effort to introduce students in the state to cutting-edge technology, including artificial intelligence, robotics, and the Internet of Things (IoT).
With the most recent deployment, which was conducted by Kerala Infrastructure and Technology for Education (KITE), there are now 29,000 kits in total.
With the help of these kits, students can make working models of things like walking sticks, electronic voting machines, traffic signals, and street lights.
Children's analytical, problem-solving, and logical thinking abilities are fostered by the programming elements.
On Feb 8, General Education Minister V Sivankutty publicly declared the commencement of the robotic kits' induction at the Little KITEs state camp.
A display of robotic projects made by students will be part of the event.
International Centre for Free and Open Source Software (ICFOSS) Director T T Sunil, KITE CEO K Anvar Sadath, MLA Kadakampally Surendran, and principal secretary (general education) Rani George were also present.
With the help of CSR, KITE has distributed 20,000 more kits this year after distributing 9,000 in 2022.
QBurst Technologies and Canara Bank both donated 1,000 kits, while Cochin Shipyard Ltd. contributed 4,615 kits and Indian Oil Corporation Ltd supplied 8,475 kits.
Arduino Uno R3, LEDs, micro servo motors, LDRs, light and infrared sensor modules, breadboards, buzzer modules, push-button switches, and resistors are among the open-hardware kits.
They make it simple for schools to get new components because each kit costs less than ₹1,000.
The largest student ICT network in the nation, Little KITEs, which serves 1.8 lakh students a year, was key in the project. Over 66,000 Class 9 students participated in school-level camps, more than 15,600 in sub-district camps, and around 1,250 in district-level camps as part of the program.
Sessions with professionals like Madhu K S, Prahlad Vadakkepat, and Sunil Prabhakar will be held during the course.
Students will tour facilities that specialize in media creation, animation, 3D printing, drone technology, and assistive technology.
