Robotics Workshop for Parents

23/9/2018

To check you happiness index, you must ask a question to yourself, "When was the last time you did something for the first time?" casue joy of doing anything for the first time is incomparable. That's exactly what parents of our students in Qurious Mind's Robotics Lab at Shantiniketan School experienced this Friday, when they made their first Robot and wrote their first program to operate the robot.

They did everything their children do during Robotics sessions. That included making a Robot, programming a robot, making mistakes and learning from them instead of getting spoon fed, collaborating in a team and ofcourse doing the 'Yessss' action when they were successful.

The idea of the a parent workshop was liked by all and parents who missed the opportunity due to festival season asked for more such workshops. Here are some glimpses of the workshop.
