When we think of the components of a child’s life, the broadest categorisation of it can be considered as Study, Play and Character Building. Among the 3, the latter two can be influenced by the parents and taken care of by them. Both Play and Character Building have their roots in childhood and the amount of time a child spends in these activities directly influences his happiness quotient. However, parents do not have an influence over the education that a kid receives in school. After a few initial years, the parents always experience a waning influence over the kid’s learning habits and methodologies. This means that kids are always under pressure to remember the concepts even when they don’t understand them. More often than not this leads to kids resorting to unhealthy learning practices such as rote memorising, learning by heart etc. This has a bad influence over the kids scholastic abilities. The desire to achieve better scores would drive kids towards these bad learning habits and their knowledge assimilation usually takes a hit.   

The way education is looked at always in a constant change. The current system does not deliver the result we as parents would love to see. It only promotes more aversion towards subjects rather than making kids love them.Equally sad is the fact that traditional classroom education fails to cater to the variation in learning ability of different kinds of students. Students cannot learn at their own pace in a classroom –  the practices adopted by teachers may be conducive for a few while the rest may be left behind. With the advent of Internet and the maturation of online or e-learning platforms, quality and engaging education is only a few clicks away. This means that the traditional content delivery methods adopted by teachers can now be supplemented by online platforms which offer a classroom. The learning speed of a kid becomes immaterial as he can always revisit the entire classroom experience online. An interesting outcome of this exercise is the fact that Kids tend to learn faster online than in the traditional environs of a classroom because the content is engaging.

We at kidobotikz have learnt through our experience that when the content is engaging, the course is absorbed faster. From a few of our surveys we have now observed that compared to the previous scenarios when kids had to spend their time in the classroom to learn robotics, kids who learnt via an online courseware are faster in completing the course. The best manifestation of this observation is the fact that parents have noted kids binge watching our courseware and completing a rather complex learning course within a span of days. We at kidobotikz believe that this is taking us somewhere revolutionary. We would like our readers to stand by us while induce a major tectonic shift in the way concepts are learnt in the classroom.

Happy Learning and 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.
