Robot, the very word takes us straight to the pages of science fiction where human-like machines awe us with their incredible capacities. But in the real world, robots are nothing but programmable devices that can perform a plethora of human tasks at a much lesser time span. We encounter various applications of robotics in our everyday lives. A few examples would be drones, 3D printers washing machines, gym equipment and much more. It is a branch of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) learning that involves construction, programming, and designing of robots. The subject includes various domains of computer science and engineering, software engineering among others. A course in robotics covers this: computer programming, basics of engineering, science and mathematical concepts. So, introducing your child to this subject early on, sharpens his knowledge in science and mathematics and prepares him for a career in engineering.
