Jawahar Vidya Mandir, Ranchi, India
We conducted 3-day long workshop at JVM School. Workshop included computer science product hackathon, robotics, electronics and virtual reality workshops.
Middle and high school kids of all age participated and created cool projects. And learned STEAM facts through our demos.
It was an excellent experience for our team. Our goal is to keep bringing new cutting edge technologies for young students. So that they get good exposure of advance technologies at an early stage in their career. This will help them to follow their dream career and aspirations. We will work on continous development of our program with the mission of educating students with practical learnings.
Some Highlights:
Computer Science Hack-a-thon: Goal was to help students understand how to conceive an idea and think about its execution. Along with idea incubation, they learned about technical stack to implement the idea.
- Students came up with an innovative related to real world problems.
- They used our kid's business plan to illustrate their idea in technology,school,e- learning, smart classroom, eco-friendly ideas and other sector.
- They planning quite extensively including startup cost, potential customers, markets, promotional platform and so on.
- They came up with the full design of their product using software development life cycle strategy.
- Finally, used some of the web-prototyping tools like HTML5, CSS and JS to implement their idea. All this in 2 days of time frame.
- Idea distribution - Academics, Technology, Energy, Others
Robotics: Goal was to help students understand how a basic robot works using Lego Mindstorm. Technical stuffs and maths behind it.
- Students programmed the robot to walk.
- Robot interacting through various sensor’s like touch, color, infra-red etc.
- Basic understanding around how hardware and software plays equal role in robotics.
- Students successfully completed the robotic programming and workshop instructions.
Basic Electronics: Goal was to help students understand how basic electronic sensors works using LittleBits.
- Using different Littlebit sensors to successfully complete the challenges and problem statement.
- Understanding about the electronic circuits without using the soldering rather by magnetic bits.
- Bits are handy, easy to use. Can be integrated with other projects.
Raspberry Pi: Goal was to help students understand the pocket computer.
- Understanding about the Raspbian Operating System and it’s circuit board.
- Understanding why is it called mini-computer or computer in your pocket.
- Understanding steps to install Pi OS from scratch and understanding about how to write python code.
Virtual Reality: Goal was to help students understand what does virtual reality actually means.
- Experiencing the virtual world using apps like VR roller coaster, VR mind games and so on using Google cardboards.
Logic Gates: Goal was to help students understand how logic gates works which is the basic building block of computing.
- Understanding about analog and digital signals.
- Verifying truth tables using digital logic gates – AND, NAND, OR, NOT.
- Bits are handy, easy to use. Can be integrated with other projects.
