Internet has been called a “great equalizer”. It brought to us some of the creature comforts that generations before us could simply never gain access to. It brought us the gift of connectivity and massive outreach across the globe. There aren’t quite many sectors it revolutionized. Ever since its birth from the humble DARPANet till when Tim Berners Lee created the World Wide Web, the internet was something of a gizmo that was more of an university project. But, ever since that fortunate november in 1989, the world hasn’t looked back. The internet brought into parlance a key phenomenon- the phenomenon of content explosion. The phenomenon of content explosion aided in making sure that some of the most important pieces of information that were present in the form of the written word entered a global utopia where it could be discussed and debated until consensus was reached or commotion ensued until eternity.

All of this had a direct influence on the world of technology. Thanks to the efforts of a Mountain view, California-situated giant, whose intentions “ to organize the world's information and make it universally accessible and useful ” have resulted in the world becoming a better place and actually making it a smaller place with android placing all the information at our finger tips. However, has all this actually made the world a smarter place? Unfortunately, No. Has it made our way of understanding things better? No. Has it made kids smarter? A big No.

Problem for this has always been linked to the grassroot methods in teaching practices. The education sector as such has never seen any dynamic transformation in improving the quality of content nor the user experience that kids have access to. Kids still face discrepancies in the quality of educational content that is developed for their use. The need of the hour is a platform that provides access to high quality educational content that is both comprehensible from a student’s perspective as well as capable of capturing his imagination. Such a platform should be designed keeping in mind the attributes of a child’s acumen and his desire to remain entertained throughout the process. Such an approach would be akin to democratizing tech-intense concepts and making it available to students across the world in such a way that it reduces the pre-requisites for students before they can learn such concepts. This is important because the innovators of tomorrow still ride to school with their parents and are yet to start on concepts which would require them to wrack their brains around. It is imperative that we reach them with newer methods of pedagogy before they are mature enough to point out the discripancies in the education system and rue the fact that they were products of such a system.

Kidobotikz, as a team, is well aware of the shortcomings of such a system. We have always aimed to disrupt the educational system. This drives our operating philosophies. Our kits have been designed to cater to the niche created by the lack of a curriculum that captures students’ imaginations. Every kit consists in itself the most appropriate approach to STEM learning. Kids with access to Kidobotikz’s kits have always felt a transformation in their understanding of technology and the workings of everyday objects.

Happy Roboting!

Kidobotikz is a leading EdTech startup offering Robotics Courses for students. Moving from a Robotics training Institute which conducted Robotics classes to a “Learn Robotics Online”, Kidobotikz today has 4 levels of Kits which offer Robotics for Kids. If the question on your mind is “How to learn robotics”, then the answer is Kidobotikz.
