 STEM Education in India

In today’s technological world, it is crucial that everyone keeps at par with this fast moving world. Technology and Science go hand in hand and an important step towards being alongside technology is to understand Science and its fields efficiently. As much as it is important to understand the magic of science, it is also equally interesting to explore various other concepts to build technology better and more efficiently. This article mainly revolves around one such very interesting topic - STEM Education. It also covers information about what STEM Education is all about, why it is important, how it can help students and others on similar lines.

What is STEM Education?

STEM Education in its broad sense means education in the fields of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics. It is one of the very interesting concepts that is taking the education world by storm today. But have you ever wondered what it really means? Basically speaking, STEM Education is one such powerful tool that actually fulfills the loopholes our current education system has and in turn provides students a great opportunity to unleash their hidden capabilities to innovate and create experimenters and budding entrepreneurs. STEM Education mainly revolves around the scientific development of a student right from the learning years of his/her life to further ensure better learning outcomes and productive work efficiency during his working years. STEM Education helps fill the gap between the fruitful understanding of scientific concepts and its practical implementation in the real world. If we look at the impact STEM Education has brought in, it would be fair to say that the number of doctors and engineers has increases significantly compared to previous years.Not does STEM programs help in creating more developed minds by extracting the relevant skills out of them but also contributes immensely to the country. It has been a great achievement to realize that STEM Education in India has helped many students regardless of their socio-economic background to keep pace with the latest technology and innovations. This strong foundation if introduced in students’ curriculum enables them to develop a holistic manner to learning new things. Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics are the fields which are considered to be the keystones of any advanced nation and conquering these four is what will make us stronger as a nation. Everything that we see today is majorly a result of these four. To make India stand on the list, it is vital to understand that advancement in the above four is a must. Now, after learning quite a bit of what STEM Education is, let us understand how it works!!

How does STEM Education work?

As discussed above, STEM Learning mainly concentrates on the scientific and technological aspect of a student's learning program. It does so by creating in them a sense of curiosity for instance towards how things work, what is the science involved behind its working and many more on the similar lines, by also inculcating creative thinking and design thinking in them. It further extends to teaching how to be adaptive and flexible to new learning while also taking care of their personal growth. To enable its reach to the farthest of people where there are not many facilities, say the rural areas, STEM Companies or organizations that promote STEM Learning aim for a tie up with the schools with a goal of maximizing the number of students that can be taken under this program. While the education sector currently teaches to learn, STEM Education, on the other hand promotes implementing all that has been learned theoretically. Government efforts of upgrading the infrastructure, facilities and library management systems are also a crucial step towards promoting STEM Education.

Simple Robotics Project kits for Kids

Summary:

We shall learn about few robotic kits in this post. The first and maybe the most critical need is for robots to be true. Yes, in books, televisions, and movies, there is a lot of robotics in fiction but nowadays, some real robots are working in the world. The extremely distinctive design and work of robots is another message at the present. In essence, the robots you can immediately recognize are not noted. We saw that real robots in the world differed greatly. We saw weapons utilized in plants. We saw them. We've seen it. We saw wheel-powered robots. We've seen leg robots. We have seen robots fly, robots fly below the ocean, robots fly over the sea. We examined robots with a wide variety of recognized capabilities. The shape and development of the planet's robot are highly dependent on what it has to do. Most of them help individuals do demanding and dangerous work. When there is a risk of disagreement, the design of the aircraft is like settled aviation or a helicopter. It includes a supply system that must travel across the lake's surface following a watercraft. The application of robots is quite rapid. The robot is presently highly reliable, very accurate, and made at unbelievably lavish levels when a robot manufacturer from the '60s looks at it and compares it to a robot.

  Educational Robotics

Summary –

Robotics is a whole new world full of excitement and fun. It basically deals with understanding how robots are made, how they work, function and what goes into controlling them. Robotics as a field has been challenging as more is always less here. As exciting as it is for scientists and IT engineers, it is for kids too. It is an extremely fascinating concept that has to date maintained kids’ interest throughout. Robotics is a world beyond robots. It involves artificial intelligence, machine learning and understanding how to make robots react to a situation in a similar way as a human would. This article mainly draws the reader's attention to this amazing topic, “Educational Robotics''. Apart from understanding what the term means, other questions like “Why learning about Robotics is important at an early age” and “What SkyFi Labs provides for your kids” will also be touched upon. Let’s get started!

What is Educational Robotics and why do we need them?

This term essentially comprises two very important terms. “Education” and “Robotics”. In simple words, it means using education the right way to understand the functioning of robots and at the same time build them so that they are of great use to the society around them. As fun as it may sound to see robots work, it is also important to learn about their working properly which we will learn about in the later section. Now talking about their needs, in simple words, to replicate the functioning of a human being and to essentially ease out people’s work life is why we need robots. Making decisions at par with human intelligence in areas like medical sciences, healthcare, money related frauds and so many to count is what the primary expectation from robots is. Understanding how a human would react to a situation or how/she would make the right decision to deliver the best results are some of the questions we should think about before we build a robot.

How do Robots work?

To those wondering about how they actually work, here’s a bit of an explanation. Consider the following piece of information to understand. Everything around us requires a set of procedures and rules that are to be followed in order to make it work properly. The same is the case with robots. To make them do even the smallest of work, an algorithm is required. This algorithm basically means a piece of code written in any programming language such as Python, Java, C/C++ etc. These algorithms are then fed into machines to make them perform a set of actions. This is pretty much similar to how fields like “Artificial Intelligence” and “Machine Learning” also work. The more efficient the code is, the more efficient the working of the robot becomes. As described previously, Coding is an integral part of robotics. It is appreciated if there is some experience of knowing any language from before because it then becomes a little easier to relate things but even that is not compulsory. But if you are a stranger to this, you need not worry at all as you are going to learn from the very basics here. All you need to have is persistence and dedication in your learning. Now having known about what educational robotics is, it is now time to learn why it is important to study about robotics from an early age.
