Kullu, December 4
A pilot workshop on robotics, artificial intelligence and coding was held at Government Senior Secondary School (Girls), Sultanpur, under the Samagra Shiksha Abhiyan here today. A report on the workshop would be sent to the Central Government for approval to introduce these subjects in the curriculum.
School principal Prem Thakur said, “Children studying in government schools will get state-of-the-art education through robotics and coding, which will increase their IQ and provide them entrepreneurial and employment opportunities in various fields”.
It was a good initiative taken under the Samagra Shiksha Abhiyan by the state government. The children received knowledge about robotics and coding at the workshop. Such subjects should be compulsory in every school, so that children get ample knowledge in new fields and seek better employment opportunities in future, he said.
Sharad Khanna, a young entrepreneur and MD of Aerobotics Global Company, taught students how to make robots and code them and how to use them in future. The children were also informed about modern subjects such as artificial intelligence, and they keenly listened to him. — OC
