KITE deploys 2,161 robotic kits in schools in Kerala's Kannur to boost practical learning in robotics
As part of the revised ICT curriculum, the sixth chapter titled The World of Robots, introduces students to robotics concepts through practical activities such as circuit construction, the use of sensors and actuators and controlling devices via computer programming.
The first mandatory activity in the syllabus is the assembly of automatic hand sanitiser dispenser using components like Arduino breadboards, IR sensors, servo motors and jumper wires. This is followed by a more advanced task-building smart door that recognises faces and open automatically using an AI-based home automation system.
KITE has also enabled a direct procurement system for school requiring additional kits.
Meanwhile, training is under way for 758 ICT teachers in the district, with completion targeted for the first week of August.
'Besides the basic kits, advanced robotics kits that allow the creation of mobile robots will be supplied to Little KITES units this year,' said KITE CEO K. Anwar Sadath.
He added that KITE will also conduct school-level Robofests to showcase projects and encourage innovation.
The initiative aims to nurture technological skills and creativity among students, aligning with the State's broader digital education goals.

KITE deploys 2,161 robotic kits in schools in Kerala's Kannur to boost practical learning in robotics
The Kerala Infrastructure and Technology for Education (KITE) has completed the deployment of 2,161 robotic kits across 180 schools in Kannur district of Kerala, ensuring hands-on robotics education for all Class 10 students from this academic year. As part of the revised ICT curriculum, the sixth chapter titled The World of Robots, introduces students to robotics concepts through practical activities such as circuit construction, the use of sensors and actuators and controlling devices via computer programming.

3 Class 10 students win national award for rehabilitative glove for stroke, paralysis patients
Ahmedabad: Three Class 10 students from Zebar School for Children have secured second place at the prestigious Ignite 2024-25 National Innovation Challenge for their project — a rehabilitative glove designed to aid stroke and paralysis patients. The competition, endorsed by CBSE and NCERT, drew participation from over 37,000 students across India, with more than 5,600 innovation submissions. Students Kavan Patel, Devarsh Patel, and Veer Manvar developed Project ARMx, an affordable glove embedded with aluminium foil sensors and Arduino-based technology. It uses servo motors to assist hand movements, allowing patients to undergo therapy independently at home, aiding recovery and helping prevent muscle atrophy.

Her condition inspired the team to create a practical, tech-driven solution for those facing similar challenges. The students presented their project in New Delhi on June 15 under the mentorship of Nidhi Trivedi, their AI instructor. The school also celebrated another success, with a separate student group's Project A-EYE being ranked among the Top 200 entries nationally. School principal Mili Bhattacharyya praised the students. "This is a win for every child who dares to dream, for every teacher who nurtures that dream, and for every family whose love inspires innovation," she added.
