 SASTRA—CNR RAO LAB

SASTRA has committed itself to establish the SASTRA-CNR Rao Lab facility in 10 schools at a cost of Rs.5 lakh each. The Swami Dayananda Matriculation Higher Secondary School is one such institution where this facility has been set up.

As part of this process, selected students from Class 9, 11 and 12 recently participated in the first and second level of the training session at the SASTRA-CNR Lab. The main goal is facilitation with DIY (Do-It-Yourself) kits on robotics, IoT, 3D printing, AI (artificial intelligence) and drones. This has been done with an overall mission to strengthen science and technology-based learning at the school level.

In the first session, students from Class 9 got introduced to the basics in robotics and Arduino. Students from Class 11 and 12 participated in the next session.

At the end of the second training programme, students were able to connect the circuit on their own. As part of continuous learning and training, the students were given projects on auto cap, basic water saving projects and auto detection sanitization.

Our students have given thumbs up to this programme. They eagerly participated in all the training activity and are now curious to know about STEM lab equipments. Some devices like sensors and micro controllers were new to the students.

Sharing his feedback, the trainer from Propeller Technologies said that students from this school had a very good foundation and smart ideas related to programming. “It was very easy to train them and the Swami Dayananda School is one of the best so far in terms of imparting of this training.”

Cheers to that!
