Why Establish Robotics Labs In Schools?
Let's get into the fundamentals first. Robotics labs in schools help students develop skills for tomorrow. Be it analytical thinking, coding, or even engineering. Learning gets active more from just choosing the passive side. Kids become active problem solvers and the STEM kits give them hands-on experience in designing and building technology.
The benefits?
● Learning complex concepts (for example, learning about batteries) of science, technology, engineering, and maths gets easier to grasp
● Students learn programming, and coding, through practical application. Their computational thinking improves
● When kids build and program tools, they think outside the box to come up with innovative solutions
● The main part is that robotics is used in automation, AI, and several other industries. STEM labs give students early exposure to different career paths
What's in with Blix’s robotics lab for schools?
At Blix, we take a holistic approach to STEM education. So far now, we have impacted 5000 schools. And over 2 million students have used us. Our aim is simple - overcome the challenges of traditional education. For schools, we are on a mission to fulfill all the obligations of NEP 2020.
We offer a grade-wise, year-long curriculum for Grades 1 to 8. There are 30 sessions taken per grade in one academic year. Students get access to practical activity books, take on projects, and learn from structured lesson plans.
We have designed the curriculum to match the school syllabus. Hence it's easier for schools to integrate STEM labs into their existing learning programs.
What makes Blix unique?
From the initial days itself, our core focus has always been on learning through play. We want students to engage with real-world problems. Unlike traditional robotics programs, Blix’s lab:
● Comes with hardware-based AI and ML for students
● We use breadboard-free electronics. Hence making circuit design gets easier and more intuitive.
● We are more into screenless coding for younger students. Hence students think logically without dependence on computers.
Do you know we are also into DIY robotics kits?
Blix offers a range of DIY robotics kits. These kits introduce fundamental engineering concepts to students. Some of our offerings you must know are:
● AI & Machine learning kits - Blix Boffin master kit
● Block Coding and C++ Programming Kits
● Mechanics and motion kits
We do have something for teachers also!
Apart from offering well-designed curricula and international quality STEM kits to schools, we even make sure to train educators when we tie up with any school. For example, we recently set up an exclusive STEAM lab at Prabhat Scholars Academy in Silvassa. We followed our teacher's training program there as well.
The trainer support that we give ensures that even schools without dedicated STEM teachers can access robotics labs in the school easily.
We also offer year-long support!
The Educator set is our flagship product. Schools get access to a combination of Blix’s best sets. And when a school opts for a lab setup, they get a lot. Starting from curriculum, and extension sets, to accessories and add-on kits. We offer an annual support package.
This support package also includes quarterly audits of the labs and the trainers, teachers' training, and placement support. We also take care of student assessments and international school competitions (if the school wishes to arrange one)!
If you watch this video, you will see how the kid is enjoying Blix aviator. And if you watch this one, you will understand how apt the Blix educator set is for schools. The kit comes with grade-wise manuals making the job easier. Long story short, STEM education is here to stay, and so is the need for playful learning. We at Blix are on a mission to bring robotics labs to every school, join us, and let's shape the future together!
