Inspire to Innovate

RoboSchool runs 3 creative programs (3 levels each) and they are ‘Mechanics of Motion’, ‘Electrifying Electronics’ and ‘Robotics in action’

Mechanics of Motion

This program is designed for Children to understand the mechanics behind motion. They will be introduced to gears, gear ratios(power up/down), common gear types(spur gear, worm drive gear, Bevel gear, Helical gear and Rack& Pinion Gear), Changing the angle of rotation, Swinging mechanisms, Reciprocating mechanisms, Cam mechanisms, Intermittent motion, Transmitting rotation(using rubber band, caterpillar treads, over a long distance, off-centre axes of rotation), ratchets, clutches and universal joints.  Students will utilise everyday materials like rubber band or spring to propel the design. Students are encouraged to create and compare the designs of other participants in the end and are allowed to have a competition for best design.

Electrifying Electronics

This program is designed for Children to understand the electronic circuits. They are introduced to the components like resistors, transistors, capacitors, inductors, diodes and wires(conductive materials through which electric current can flow). For students to select the right motor for different applications (design criteria such as positional accuracy, cost, drive power, torque and acceleration), motors like DC motor, servo motor and stepper motors will be introduced. They will make simple circuits using LED, battery(AA) and resistors and then extend their learning using Makey Makey(MIT invention) . Most innovative design will be selected at the end of each creative session.

Robotics in action  

This program is designed for Children to understand robotics. They are introduced to components like sensors, shields, microcontrollers (arduino, microbit, raspberry Pi). Students will also learn about the data transfer and communication methods. Coding will be done in a fun and gamified way to keep young minds stimulated and engaged. Visual coding languages will be utilised to make it more interactive and improve the student’s logical reasoning and problem solving skills. Scratch, C, and python are the most common ones that are used in our program. Classes are designed in such a way that students start to build basic bots a#nd then move on to complex robots utilising the microcontrollers to sensors. Most innovative design will be selected at the end of each creative session.
