Synergy RoboCon: DeathRace (SRCDR)
Science, technology, engineering, AND math? That’s a lot of complex material to cram into one acronym. Fortunately for young learners, robotics makes STEM simple and fun to learn.
If you’re looking to get your kid or teen more involved in STEM, but are stuck looking for the right introduction that’s engaging and accessible, the wide world of robotics is a great starting point. In Synergy Learning, we make sure students learn basics of electricals and electronics, so that they have a working understanding about the systems presents all around us.
Sparking a passion for STEM and getting a child of any age started along their journey can begin right now: learners as young as preschool age can explore and learn from a range of robots and its applications.
Why is robotics important?
There are endless educational possibilities with robotics, and it’s easy to tackle each area of STEM in a fun way. Sharpening math skills? Check. Learning computer science? Definitely. Engineering and technology? Yep!
With so many options for what kids can learn with robotics, it is easy to see the skills-based payoff of picking it up as a hobby. And there’s better news: learning the ins and outs of robotics means building real-world and career-based skills.
So why not dive in today and get those gears turning?
Role of Synergy in Robotics
Every year, Synergy organises a manual robotics workshop, where the students get a hands-on experience of making a wired-bot from scratch. Basic knowledge on how DC- motors works, to using a digital multimeter, using DPDT switches, completing a circuit diagram is given to the students in a one-day workshop. Later the teams of students with their bots, fight out an ultimate battle in the DeathRace competition held on the very same day.
We tied up with Indus Altum School this year to conduct the robotics workshop for over 130 students.
Think of robotics as a potentially all-in-one STEM learning experience. Not only do kids step into engineers’ shoes as they build and program their robots, they’ll build their tech savvy along the way, and even get thinking about how science can solve real-world problems.
