Early exposure to science and technology plays a crucial role in shaping confident, curious learners. Taking a step toward nurturing innovation from a young age, Qurious Mind Infotainment Pvt Ltd conducted two engaging hands-on robotics sessions for 3rd and 4th standard students along with their parents at Jnyan Vikas School, Alto Porvorim.
The sessions were thoughtfully designed to introduce young students to the exciting world of robotics in a simple, interactive and enjoyable way.
Introducing Robotics to Young Learners
The workshop began with a brief introduction to Qurious Mind Infotainment Pvt Ltd and its mission to promote STEM education and robotics learning among school students across Goa.
Parents who had accompanied the students were given an overview of:
- The importance of robotics education in today’s digital world
- How hands-on STEM learning improves logical thinking
- The structure of Qurious Mind’s robotics programs
- The features of the robotics kits used for training
This introduction helped both students and parents understand how robotics supports creativity, problem-solving and confidence-building from an early age.
Live Demonstration: Robo Car in Action
To spark excitement, the trainers demonstrated a Robo Car Model built using robotics kits. The moving car instantly grabbed the attention of the young learners.
The demonstration of a Robo Car Model explained in simple terms:
- How motors help the car move
- How signals control direction
- How different components work together
The most exciting part? The children were invited to try operating the Robo Car themselves. Seeing their expressions as the car responded to their control was a highlight of the session. This hands-on experience transformed robotics from a complex machine into something fun and achievable.
Activity Time: Building a Windmill Model
After the demonstration, students participated in a guided activity where they built a Windmill Model using the Qurio Reach Robotics kits.
This activity of constructing a Windmill Model focused on:
- Basic model assembly
- Understanding rotational movement
- Following structured instructions
- Team participation and cooperation
The trainers provided step-by-step guidance, ensuring that every child actively participated in building the model. Parents also observed and supported their children during the activity, making it a collaborative learning experience.
Through this simple windmill project, students learned:
- How parts connect together
- How motion is generated
- The importance of stability in structure
Even at the primary level, these foundational concepts build essential engineering thinking skills.
Learning Through Building and Dismantling
Once the windmill models were completed, the trainers demonstrated the working mechanism to the students. After understanding how the model functioned, students were encouraged to dismantle the structure they had created. This step was intentionally included to teach an important lesson:
Learning is not just about building — it’s also about understanding components and reusing them effectively.
Dismantling the model helped students:
- Recognize individual parts
- Understand reusability
- Develop confidence in assembling and disassembling systems
This process reinforced curiosity rather than attachment to a single model.
Why Early Robotics Education Matters
Introducing robotics at the primary level helps students:
✔ Develop logical and analytical thinking
✔ Improve fine motor skills
✔ Build confidence in experimenting
✔ Enhance creativity
✔ Strengthen parent-child learning interaction
Workshops like these make technology approachable and enjoyable, removing the fear often associated with science subjects. By engaging both students and parents, the sessions at Jnyan Vikas School created a supportive environment where learning extended beyond the classroom.
Building Future Innovators in Goa
The robotics sessions at Jnyan Vikas School, Alto Porvorim, reflect a growing shift toward experiential learning in primary education. When young students are given the opportunity to explore, build, test, and understand technology hands-on, they develop a mindset that embraces innovation.
Through structured yet fun activities, Qurious Mind continues its mission of nurturing future innovators — starting as early as 3rd and 4th standard. Because when curiosity meets creativity, the future begins to build itself.
