Geek Speak: Anirudh

Nothing beats the pleasure of engaging in a conversation with young tots who have a vision that matches those of adults. These motivated young minds stand out from the crowd with their level of curiosity, their unadulterated dreams for the planet. Such conversations are not only stress busters, but they actually make us rethink the priorities that we work towards. Kidobotikz is one such place where the abundance of such motivated 10 year olds is rather unquestionable. The student we are going to have a chat with is one such young fella. One who is quite young, energetic and enthusiastic with a flair for learning. Meet Anirudh, our geek for the day. 

Hey Anirudh! Can you tell me a bit about yourself?

I’m Anirudh. I study in class 3 of PSBB KK Nagar.

Can you tell us why and when did you join Kidobotikz?

I came to Kidobotikz in 2013. I was a very small boy. My cousin, Gurunathan, who studied here told about Kidobotikz to my parents. They brought me here.

That is good. What do you like the most about Kidobotikz? And what did you think about Kidobotikz before joining here?

Before joining Kidobotikz, I did not know about robotics and I did not know what is electronics. Now I can identify every component and build a robot. That is what I like best about Kidobotikz.

What are level are you in? And why do you like robotics?

Here, I am at the end of Junior Level- 3. I joined in 2013 and completed two levels. Then I took a one year break. After that, I again came back and started Junior Level-3. Today is my last class for this level. Next I will become a student on the digital platform. I like robotics because I want to build one. I want to become an automobile engineer and build a new eco-friendly robot. That robot will be non polluting and will clean the air.

Good for you. Did you come to KRG this time? How was it?

It was a very good KRG. I participated in all the junior level events and I won two events. I won the 1st place in Roborace and 2nd place in Push'n’Drop. 

Which is your favourite robot?

My favourite robot is the wired robot that I learned to build here. I like being able to control it like a pet.

What to do want to do when you finish schooling and college? 

I want to study robotics at IIT. That is my ambition. What I will do after that, I have not planned yet.
