Kerala Launches Robotics Training for 4.5 Lakh Class 10 Students
Student mentors from Little KITES are delivering two-session, kit-based workshops aligned to the revised IT syllabus to support SSLC preparation.
Overview
- The statewide rollout began on January 6 across government and aided schools and is slated to finish by January 15.
- Workshops are led by trained Little KITES mentors in each school, with campuses lacking units instructed to coordinate with nearby schools.
- The curriculum pairs a conceptual module on sensors, microcontrollers and actuators with a hands-on session using Arduino UNO and PictoBlox to run tasks like LED blinking and buzzer control.
- KITE has supplied robotic kits at a ratio of one per group of four to five students to maximize participation.
- The initiative is tied to robotics content in the revised Class 10 IT textbook to bolster SSLC readiness, and IANS reported a culminating project assembling an automatic sanitiser dispenser.
