The Robotics/STEM Summer Camp 2026 was successfully organized by Sri Aurobindo Society, Puducherry, in collaboration with INSPAROBOTICS, Puducherry, during the month of May 2026. The camp was conducted in four different weeks at various venues with active participation from students of government and private schools.
The camp aimed to introduce students to Robotics, Coding, Machine Learning, Electronics, and STEM-based scientific activities through experiential and hands-on learning methods. Students learned the fundamentals of robotics, microcontrollers, sensors, programming, and AI-enabled applications using PictoBlox and Arduino/ESP32 platforms.
Throughout the four weeks, students engaged in practical activities such as LED blinking, sensor interfacing, game animations, automatic door opening systems, robot movement control, dot matrix displays, servo motor activities, and obstacle avoider robots. Students explored IR, touch, and ultrasonic sensors and gained exposure to real-time robotics applications.
The STEM activities also included Biology, Physics, and Chemistry experiments. Biology sessions covered microorganisms, photosynthesis, transportation in plants, fermentation, Gram staining, and microscopical observations. Physics demonstrations included reflection, refraction, dispersion of light, persistence of vision, mirage, resonance, magnetism, and Ohm’s law. Chemistry activities included acid-base tests, neutralisation reactions, precipitation reactions, chemical genie, decomposition reactions, volcanic reactions, magical words, and elephant toothpaste experiments.
As part of the exhibition conducted during the fourth week, students successfully developed and demonstrated innovative robotics and STEM projects including:
Physics exhibition models included Magnetism, Resonance, and Ohm’s Law experiments, while Chemistry demonstrations included Chemical Genie, Magical Words, Chemical Volcano, Decomposition Reaction, and Precipitation Reaction.
The summer camp provided students with a strong foundation in STEM education and significantly enhanced their creativity, logical thinking, coding ability, teamwork, scientific curiosity, and problem-solving skills. The programme created great enthusiasm among students towards Robotics, Artificial Intelligence, Electronics, and innovative scientific learning.
If you have an innovative idea for bringing a positive change in Puducherry, please join hands by sharing it with us in driving Puducherry to become a model Union Territory.
