Why Study Robotics?
Today’s child is Tomorrow’s Engineer
• Robotics is an excellent way to introduce the students to integrated
STEM areas (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics)
• For: Practical learning, Team Work, Developing good IQ, Problem
Solving skill, Competitive Spirit & Exposure about global happenings
in Education
• Everyone – girls and boys alike – should get a chance to see how
much fun it is learning engineering skills this way!
• The country is not going to have manufacturing units until and unless
they have an artificial force of labors that means Robots to work in
manufacturing industry.” – US planning commission.

What do they learn/How do they grow?
To asses the youth’s skill-level increase in robot design and building, programming
and computer technology, as a result of participating in the FLL program; at the end of
the season, youth were asked to compare their skill levels in each area before and
after the FLL season. Given a four point scale, with choices ranging from ‘poor’ to
‘excellent,’ youth skill-level gain is summarized as follows:
Increase by 1 Increase by 2 Increase by 3
