The three-day workshop on robotics Robomania- based on BuLo Robotronics kits -- concluded at The Millennium School today amidst a eight of problem solving robots created by the participating students at the event.
Robots created were put up at display for the parents who were wonderstruck to see the automated creations of their children from class fourth to eighth. During the three-ay workshop, students not only learnt intrinsic fundamentals of robotics machine but even added knowledge to various science and mathematics concepts.
The Millennium School, Mohali held this workshop in collaboration with Building Blocks – an experiential learning organization.
