Children interested in learning about robots, assembling and watching them work have an opportunity to do so in the city, courtesy the Mumbai-based ThinkLABS.
The company has announced the launch of short-term camps for school children (Class IV onwards) in robotics and virtual robotics during May and early June at nine centres (Reliance World outlets) in Hyderabad.
The founder and CEO of ThinkLABS, Mr Gagan Goyal, told newspersons that the company had devised a host of hands on learning platforms based on robotics and various other principles of science. Students who participate in the camps become eligible for national robotics championships — TRICKS 2011 as well as a chance to international destinations such as NASA, Singapore Science Centre and CERN Nuclear Research Centre.
The Mumbai-based company got a million dollar venture fund from Seedfund in 2008 and is on a mission to promote robotics, both at the school and college level through practical, ‘do it yourselves' camps and courses. It has an R&D centre within the IIT, Bombay campus where it develops course content, hardware and software, he added.
