ROBOCAMP to help young minds develop invaluable skills

ThinkLABS Technosolutions Pvt Ltd, a pioneer in the fields of hands-on science and technology education in India, brings a unique hands-on learning camp based on Robotics and Virtual Robotics for school children in Mumbai. The camps kick off on October 30th and continue till November 13th in Reliance World stores across 5 locations: Juhu, Mulund, Powai Borivali and Opera House.

ThinkLABS aims to introduce children to the wonderful world of Robotics and Virtual Robotics which will help students understand the principles of Science, Technology and Mathematics in a fun-filled and interactive manner.

Robotics allows young minds to develop invaluable skills such as problem-solving, logical reasoning, critical thinking and creativity”skills highly-desirable for children to succeed in the future.

Commenting on the launch of this unique camp on hands-on science and technology learning, Gagan Goyal, Founder and Director, ThinkLABS Technosolutions, said, "Ever since its inception in 2006, ThinkLabs has been working towards adding a whole new dimension to science and technology education in India and making learning a lot more fun and interactive. We have been training a lot of school and college students and the results we see are indeed encouraging. Robotics is fast becoming popular among the student community. We will continue to infuse new and innovative ideas to our modules to lay a stronger foundation for the technical development of our country".

ROBOCAMP has been designed keeping the academic curricula in mind. Besides introducing participants to Robotics, the camp will elucidate many principles of Science and Mathematics through interesting demonstrations and hands-on robot building sessions. ThinkLabs trainers will train young minds create an amazing variety of Robots like Scorpion, Gripper, Soccer Playing Robot, Line Follower, Obstacle Avoiding Robot, etc.

This year ThinkLabs is introducing a brand new concept ' Virtual Robotics that will enable a child to create his/ her own PC game, using the principles of Human-Machine interaction and animation.

Spread over 6 days ThinkLABS' ROBOCAMP„¢ provides hands-on exposure to robot programming using hardware and software. Participants would spend two hours every day in the cool and comfortable environs of Reliance World learning how to build and program robots using sophisticated robotic kits. Depending on the type of program they choose, at the end of the camp, the children would be able to take home the robot they built.

Furthermore, participants of ROBOCAMP„¢ would also be eligible to enter the National Robotics Competition (TRICKS) to be held at IIT Bombay. The champion will win a trip to NASA.

ROBOCAMP Junior and ROBOCAMP VIRTU is for students in classes IV to VI, while ROBOCAMP„¢ Senior and ROBOCAMP ADVANCE SENIOR is for students in classes VII to XII.

Each batch comprises not more than 10 students and registration is on a first-come, first-served basis. Interested students are advised to visit Reliance World and register for ROBOCAMP„¢ at the earliest.
