Kerala plans to establish 9,000 robotic labs across 2000 schools across the state

Kerala will establish 9000 robotic laboratories in 2000 schools around the state. The robotic labs will be launched next month by Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan. This move will help to facilitate innovative methods of increasing students' latest technological knowledge and skills through fun learning and hands-on training in robotic labs.

In Kerala students to get robotic labs. Students would be able to receive hands-on instruction in cutting-edge technical fields such as AI, IoT, and Robotics. The Minister stated that the programming instruction will assist pupils to improve their creative thinking and problem-solving abilities. Robotic labs in Kerala schools would give robotic kits distributed to schools including LEDs, an LDR light sensor module, an Arduino Uno Rev3, an IR sensor module, an SG90 mini servo motor, an active buzzer module, a push button, a bread button, jumper wires, and resistors, among other components, and the components will be at low cost.

"Robotics is a major training component of the Little KITES initiative, through which pupils in public schools will receive hands-on training in cutting-edge technologies such as robotics, IoT, and AI. Furthermore, programming training as part of this would aid in the development of student's creative thinking and problem-solving abilities, which would aid in their learning of all disciplines ", Sivankutty stated.

Furthermore, if the schools require it, KITE will assist them in locating additional spares. In addition, 4,000 KITE masters or instructors will be educated in the use of the equipment in schools through a customized training program. As part of the curriculum, students will also be taught AI-based activities, how to make computer games using Scratch, and how to develop mobile apps using 'App Inventor by MIT, i.e., the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

KITE is directly instructing 60,000 students with these KITE Masters. The Little KITES members who were so taught would then train additional children, directly benefiting over 12 lakh pupils through this project. Students will also be educated in a variety of tasks such as traffic signal creation, automated street lights operated by light sensing, electronic diodes, and automatic door and security alarms.
