It’s Sunday and weekend is already over before it began. It’s 11th hour for all those who’ve been rather lax since friday evening. Notebooks being scribbled with hurried assignments and high intensity preparations for the upcoming weekly tests are rather a characteristic of a late sunday afternoon. Meanwhile, back at Kidobotikz, it is business as usual as far Sundays are concerned. Batches of students are here taking their robotics lessons in the earnest. It is a rather leisurely class hour for them as most of them are in the middle of their learning courses where everything seems to be progressing at optimum pace. I enter the first classroom and discover someone who seems rather docile. He seems to have finished the assignment his trainer had asked him to complete and is now just quiet and unassuming. I request him to step out of the classroom and engage in a brief conversation with him. And his name is rather unique as well.

Hey Rakshin! Why don’t you temme a bit about yourself and your path to Kidobotikz?

I am Rakshin. I study in class 8 at PSBB Millennium. I joined Kidobotikz in the month of April this year. Back here at Kidobotikz I am in the advanced level.

You joined in April and are already in the advanced level? That’s rather impressive! How did that happen?

Well, I came to know of Kidobotikz through a friend of mine named Shreyas. I visited the center around the month of april and found out that there was a summer camp that was being conducted during that time. I managed to complete 2 levels within those 10 days. That’s how it happened.

So, describe your experience of being a roboticist at Kidobotikz?

Before joining Kidobotikz, my expectation was to do something “cool”. Here, I discovered more than just “cool”. Robotics has changed a lot in me. It has made quite smart. I can actually feel myself getting smarter everyday. All thanks to Kidobotikz.

Interesting. So, how did you take part in KRG? And how was your experience?

This was my first KRG. Thereby, it was a wonderful learning experience. I took part in almost all events- Autotransbot, Autonomous race, Balloon Bursters, Temple Run seniors. I knew I wasn’t gonna win in these events, but it did give me a wonderful learning curve.

Impressive! So, what kinda robots capture your imagination?

I love all kinds of robots, but I have a major liking towards Bionic Arms. According to me, they represent the future way of how we will work and use robots. I am actually planning to try and build one of these when I gain the required resources.

My best wishes for you! To conclude our chat, I’d like to know your future plans and ambitions when you graduate from Kidobotikz and high school

Well, I haven’t figured out much. But, I wanna be able to join MIT. Ever since I saw their four legged robot gallop across obstacles, i’ve been inspired to do my robotics studies there.

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.
