Harmal A two-day STEM Robotics workshop was conducted at New English High School in Kerry Pedne by US-based Girls for Robotics (GIR), an American non-governmental organization.
GIR tops America’s high school robotics team. The STEM robotics workshop was conducted under the guidance of Nidhi Mandrekar, the captain of the robotics team and the director of the school’s robotics club, Deepak Mandrekar, the former Chief Information Officer of Philips Company North America and trainer of GIR and Dr. Pallavi Mandrekar.
Selected 33 students of the school participated in this workshop. Students were given hands-on knowledge of Java programming, designing and planning of robots and how to build robots.
On the second day, the students of the workshop demonstrated the robots they had created in front of all the children. . This time the children handled the robot hands-on and cleared their doubts.
Children in rural India are naturally gifted. Therefore, if students from rural areas get the knowledge of subjects like robotics, they can achieve great success in this field in the future. Deepak Mandrekar said on this occasion that for this purpose GIR, America has organized this workshop in villages like Kerry.
Robotics is in great demand in the coming years. Artificial intelligence is going to create big challenges in all fields in the future. Robots will work as a substitute for humans. Bhavarth Mandrekar, the principal of the school, expressed the intention of holding a workshop on robotics in a rural school in Kerry, looking to the future.
For girls to have equal access to science and technology with boys, G. i. R appealed to school girls to form a robotics club. He also said that they will be given continuous guidance. As part of this, Nidhi Mandrekar gifted a GIR Lego robotics kit to the school. Which will benefit children to participate in robotics studies and competitions.
After that, certificates were distributed to all trainees by Milind Talkar, Treasurer of Kerry Education Institute.
The closing ceremony program was coordinated by teacher Saurabh Pednekar. Computer teacher Smita Mandrekar gave vote of thanks.
