It’s been 3 days since KRG ended and our excitement is barely down. With the photos and videos just only arriving at our offices, it is time to reminisce and relive memories of the two days. For it not often that you attend events that put you in touch with the memories of your childhood. More importantly, this event was one that actually had children displaying their cool intellectual prowess.
The event was spectacular on many counts and for everyone who was there, it was an amazing experience.
It was a couple of days of absolute fun where everyone, be it the students of Kidobotikz or the staff, were all caught up in the euphoria surrounding the two day event. Every student who participated in the proceedings brought with him/her a unique flavour that made the whole event a joyous affair.
There were many positives from this edition of KRG. This was the first time when KRG was conducted on two days. After requests from many previous participants and parents to increase the number of events, the organizing committee of KRG turned this into a 2 day gala. This had a wonderful effect on all the participants. All participants could now participate in all events and did not have to miss out on participation due to overlapping events. This way, students also felt that they could spend their entire weekend on robotics instead of a single cramped day. The theme of this edition’s project display was another major hit. In order to show Kidobotikz’s commitment to nation objective of “Clean India” and to show support to the Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi’s “Clean India” campaign, the theme of the project expo event for this edition of KRG was “Clean India”. Students were asked to develop concepts and projects that showcased the concepts for making India a cleaner country. Students obliged the call for such projects by developing wonderful concepts which had the clean india theme incorporated into them.
The project expo was a major crowd puller with several schools bringing their students to view the display the projects. This showed to us that schools were opening up to the possibilities of incorporating practicals-based learning and robotics in their curriculum. Equally enchanting was the fact that droves of students from these schools made a beeline to our help desk to find out more about Kidobotikz and what we do. Many of these students displayed curiosity and wanted to get themselves some of this robotics knowledge.
The future of education scenario in the country could’ve been glimpsed if one had set foot at KRG on the weekend. Such was technological empowerment caused by the knowledge of robotics on these young minds. And we at Kidobotikz are happy to have been a catalyzing factor towards this future.
With the event having now been successfully concluded, it is now time to look back on it and thank all those who made the event happen. Every parent, student and faculty who had taken part in this event should feel proud as without the support of each one of them, this event could not have been the grandiose success that it was. In particular, two teams needed to be credit with the highest honour for their relentless commitment in getting the robots and project. Back at Kidobotikz, the training team and the production team always supplement each other's efforts. For every project the students had to do, their components had to be sourced from the open market. Thanks to the production team and their shop, every young student’s vision for building a robot of their dream was made possible by sourcing components through an endless maze of logistics. Their efforts in these regard can never be fully appreciated because of the inherent complexities in any logistics system. But thanks to their relentless and dedicated efforts, every component in every project and robot worked flawlessly.
We wish to bring more such fun in the winter edition of KRG to be held tentatively in December 2016.
Happy Roboting ! !
