Workshop
5.0 hrs
April 16, 2017 11:00 am Sunday

Greetings from EtchBricks, With the current trends in technology and increased importance being given to Arts in combination with technology, we introduce the STEAM based Crafts and Bots workshop for little innovators this summer.

Crafts and Bots is a combination of Craft work and Robotics. Here the students will be encouraged to think out of the box and develop gadgets and models using things around them like cardboard and thermocol in combination with EtchBricks. EtchBricks are Electronic building blocks which can be plugged in to each other to build amazing interesting projects without the need for programming, soldering or any prior knowledge in electronics. Using EtchBricks anyone can build projects without the need of a computer. Instead children will be building a very small computer of their own which takes inputs and gives relevant outputs. This circuit in combination with Arts and Crafts help students build amazing models. With the simplicity of building projects, children as young as 7+ years can build, make and innovate amazing creations using EtchBricks.

The one day summer workshop will have the following impact on students. 1. Students will be taught, how the basic gadgets around them work.  2. How we can make gadgets of our own using the material around us in combination with EtchBricks using concepts of STEAM which is Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Math. 3. Students will be encouraged to think on their own and build projects in teams, which will put their creative thinking, group activity and problem solving skills to use.  4. With just a short term workshop, students will gain confidence that they can build interesting projects using things around them.  5. This experience will help them think differently and make contribution to various national level science fairs along with students from various other schools.

FEES: The fees of the one day workshop will be Rs. 800 which includes a free takehome kit worth Rs. 400/-.

Timings: The workshop will start at 11:00 AM and end at 4:00 PM with a 40 minute lunch brake at 1:00PM.
