We keep on hearing the word AI, or artificial intelligence almost regularly, everyday. Why is AI a buzzword now? What is AI actually? AI or artificial intelligence means AI or Artificial Intelligence means when machines or systems are trained to replicate human tasks. It is now being actively integrated into school curricula via STEM education, Coding and AI platforms, etc, making it an essential part of modern learning. AI is now used extensively to help minimise the human efforts in the everyday repetitive tasks.
Why starting early is encouraged?
By starting early with the right support and resources, kids not only start gaining confidence, but also the skills that would make them able citizens in the society. With this regular practice and support, these kids will be ready to take on the digital future, head on. They learn to trust the process and venture onto more complexities, which makes them much more smart and confident. Kids learn to expand their potential and hence their portfolios grow, and they set a bar for themselves; a competition they try to beat themselves at with every project and idea. They strive to become a better version of themselves, a better and smarter kid than they were the previous day.
Understanding the Role of AI in the Education Sector
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is not just a trendy word, it is the core foundation for the success of tomorrow’s generation. With the help of artificial intelligence, the students get personalised plans that are adjusted to their pace and capability. This makes the learning fun and engaging. By introducing the kids to artificial intelligence at an early age is a huge bonus point. They are already ahead of their competition and along with the technical stuffs, they will develop the essential 21st century skills early on in their life.
One of the coolest things about is Robotics Centres. Here, kids don’t just read about technology, they get to play, build, and learn with real robots and kits.
Take for example:
Kids can find a common problem and make the solution through robotics and this would then contribute to the SDG. And the best part is that along with the technical skills, they develop the 21st century skills like curiosity, cooperation, collaboration etc.
The Internet of Things (IoT) is everywhere from smart homes to wearable devices and connected cars. Learning how these systems work gives students a huge advantage. Our AI and IoT learning solutions introduce children to the world of smart technology in an accessible, hands-on way.
· Students can program simple IoT devices to perform tasks automatically.
· With the help of AI, students learn to make better decisions, based on the data and analysing them.
· Through the hands-on projects, students learn the actual usage of the gadgets.
By combining AI and IoT learning solutions, it prepares children to navigate a world where technology is integrated into almost every aspect of life.
Coding and AI Platforms for Students
We have to communicate with computers through coding and so it is very essential that we learn the language of the computers, that is, coding in order to master and operate technology. With this company, coding is broken down into simple lessons that gets intricate with the ascending classes. It starts with the basic and easy block-based programming and goes onto more complex hands-on.
Making Learning Fun and Meaningful
The do-it-yourself kits like Tinker Orbits, Mechatron, Bitli etc are made to keep the students engaged and entertained. This way they learn and play at the same time.
Preparing Future Innovator
Innovators need to identify the problems that are faced and ignored in the day to day lives. These problems are sorted through the unique process of design thinking –
1. EMPATHISE – understand the problem
2. DEFINE – clearly state the problem statement
3. IDEATE – think of ideas, brainstorm and make the best informed decision
4. PROTOTYPE – create a sample/solution to test out.
5. TEST – try out the sample/solution on the target audience, gather feedback and rectify. Try again
The benefits of design thinking is a huge bandwidth. Some of them are –
1. Economical – a new idea needs to be of low cost so that everyone can try it out.
2. Easy access – the best solution is the one that is of easy access. If the product is not easily accessible, very mere amount of the public would be interested on purchasing it and will search for an alternative.
3. Reduces risks – a prototype helps to find the defects that could be worked upon and helps to get feedback and make the product better. This helps in reducing unnecessary burnout, time, energy and funds.
4. Cross-Disciplinary Collaboration – helps in promoting teamwork, collaboration and cooperation that helps in making informed decision.
5. Boosts innovation – helps to push past limits, think outside the box and also boosts creative thinking.
These programs are not just about learning technology, they are about preparing the innovators of tomorrow. Children who engage with AI, robotics, and coding early develop:
· A problem-solving mindset
· Confidence in technology
· Creative thinking abilities
· Collaboration and communication skills
· Readiness for future careers in AI, robotics, and tech
By providing Robotics Centres, AI and IoT solutions, and coding platforms, STEMROBO bridges the gap between traditional education and the demands of a tech-driven world.
Real-Life Impact
Many students who started with these programs have gone on to:
· Build functional robots and AI projects
· Participate in national-level STEM competitions
· Apply coding skills to develop apps and games
· Gain confidence in science and technology subjects
By turning curiosity into practical skills, we ensures children are not just learning they are creating, experimenting, and innovating.
Conclusion
The future and its job market demands for candidates that can actually use the theoretical knowledge into practical knowledge. Because at the end of the day, it’s the skills that matter the most. Along with the technical skills, students need the essential 21st century skills in order to navigate well through the society and their surroundings.
