Arduino Smart Tech

Physics + Computer Science

What is Arduino and how is it relevant for a school student?

A lot of children are interested in electronics from a very early age and love to tinker with batteries, leds, motors, any items they can get their hands on. While parents like to nurture their child's curiosity, it is natural to be worried about damage to expensive circuitry or computer parts.

That is where Arduino comes in! It is an easy to use, open source platform, consisting of hardware and software that is designed for students interested in electronics and computing. It is easy to learn and make projects with, so students can see results immediately. With Arduino students can make interactive electronics projects that can solve real life problems like Smart Irrigation System, Intelligent Street Lighting, Automatic Garage Door, Home automation etc.

In this course students start by learning the basics of electronics - circuits, sensors, capacitors, resistors, motors etc. They will also learn programming that is a vital skill in today's age. To know more about Arduino course, click here

COURSE DURATION: 16 sessions of 1 hour each. Total 3 levels of 16 sessions each.

App Making is a practical way to learn coding - students make an exciting range of apps that they can even publish in the Google Play store. In this course, students will start with learning what’s inside a mobile phone and the different kinds of mobile apps and their uses. They will learn to build fully functional apps for Android smartphones starting from simple ones that play sound/image or doodling app or convert text to voice. They will use a phone’s GPS or sensors to make apps that work with location. Some apps will be made using web data, parsing it and displaying it as smart graphs and charts.

We teach App Making using MIT App Inventor, an intuitive, visual, block-based programming tool that is used by over 6.8 million registered users from 195 Countries using MIT App Inventor. Over 24 million apps have been built using this platform.

Python Coding

Vocational Skills Development

Python is a general-purpose coding language—which means that, unlike HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, it can be used for other types of programming and software development besides web development. It can be used for Back end (or server-side) web and mobile and desktop app development. It can process big data and perform mathematical computations. It is widely used in Data Sciences, Machine Learning & Artificial Intelligence applications.

Why do we recommend Python to our students?

Python is one of the easiest programming language for school students. Even those with no programming experience can learn it. It is highly intuitive, because it has less emphasis on syntax unlike other programming languages. Learning this language gives the child vital vocational skills from an early age.

Virtual Robotics

Learn Robotics virtually without a kit

This course introduces students to the fascinating world of Robotics. Starting with the basics of gears, motors and sensors, students will construct and program their very first robot. They will make robots that can move on different surfaces, follow a line or wall, avoid obstacles, pick and place objects, sort things, sense their environment and give feedback to user.

The Robotics course involves practical application of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math) subjects. Children will develop 21st century skills like problem solving, logical thinking, analytical ability, communication and team work.

My son Krishav has really benefitted from his Coding classes at Makers loft. He has been doing the classes since a few months now and I have seen how his imagination has grown and he has become very comfortable with working on the computer. He looks forward to the classes as the faculty is very friendly & helpful. Thank you MakersLoft.
