Inauguration of Mobile Robotics Lab for Government School Students: Chennai Students’ Home

Ramakrishna Mission Students’ Home, Chennai, with financial support from HCL Foundation created Mobile Robotics Lab to train the students of the Government schools free of cost.  

Free Robotic Training in a Mobile Robotics Lab: Mobile Robotics lab on Wheels, is to train Government School children. The poor children in Government Schools cannot dream of any exposure to robotics. Progress in Technology evades their grasp. 

In order to equip them, thanks to the HCL Foundation, our Students’ Home with their financial support, has embarked on an ambitious programme to take Robotics Training to the doors of the poor children studying in the VI to XII Standard of the Government Schools. 

A specially built bus with robotic training kits will visit the Government Schools regularly and train the school students in Robotics free of cost. An experienced Trainer will train the students in theory and practice. After the completion of the course, all the trained students will be given certificates.

This 21 hours training course will expose them to the Basics of Robotics and IOT, electricals, electronics, computer programming, Arduino from swatch, working with Arduino 1 and 2 and advanced Arduino projects etc.
