Robotics initiative under Svarnim Puducherry, continued to bring experiential STEM learning to schools across the Union Territory. A total of 60 robotics sessions were conducted in 39 government schools, engaging an impressive 2,286 students — including 800 boys and 1,486 girls.
The sessions were designed to help students explore the fascinating world of robotics through a blend of concept learning and hands-on practice. The topics covered during the month included powering circuits, buzzer and LED operations, logic gates (AND, OR, NOT), potentiometer activities, motor driver experiments, sensor-based applications, and machine learning basics. These interactive sessions helped students connect textbook knowledge with real-world technology, sparking curiosity and problem-solving among young learners.
Each school session followed a progressive learning model — starting from basic electronics in lower grades and gradually advancing to digital circuits, motor controls, and automation in higher classes. Students learned to identify electronic components, assemble simple circuits, and apply logic to make devices perform specific tasks. For many, this was their first opportunity to understand how everyday technologies like automatic doors, sensors, and digital displays actually work.
One of the most exciting aspects of the month was the Weekend Robotics Club, which held four focused sessions engaging 46 students (37 boys and 9 girls). The club’s sessions covered advanced practicals like solar tracker design, in-and-out counter setup, and the magical LED activity. These activities not only encouraged technical exploration but also developed essential life skills like teamwork, creative problem-solving, and perseverance.
Across schools, the enthusiasm of both students and teachers was palpable. Students demonstrated remarkable focus and curiosity — from wiring circuits to debugging errors and finally seeing their projects come to life. For many participants, these sessions became a stepping stone toward exploring engineering, automation, and artificial intelligence in the future.
By integrating robotics education into the classroom, the initiative is equipping children with 21st-century skills such as computational thinking, innovation, and critical analysis. The consistent participation and excitement across schools prove that hands-on learning remains one of the most effective ways to inspire scientific temper and self-confidence among students.
The Robotics team continues to refine its modules, introduce advanced projects, and ensure that every child — regardless of background — gets an opportunity to understand and experiment with the technologies shaping tomorrow’s world.
Through these efforts, the Robotics program at Svarnim Puducherry stands as a symbol of learning through doing, preparing students not just to use technology but to create it.
