Robotics Team Formation, Teachers Training and Girls in STEM program
Continuing work from the previous quarter, our robotics and programming team focused on expanding teacher training and student engagement in robotics. From July through September, the team successfully completed a robotics training program for the second phase of teachers (7 teachers) from our partner schools in Lalitpur. Additionally, they launched a dedicated robotics program at Adarsha Kanya Secondary School, an all-girls school in Lalitpur, with support from the KDDI Foundation, Japan. As part of this initiative, the team introduced ICT in Basic Education by setting up a computer lab, installing our E-Pustakalaya digital library, and training three new teachers with robotics kits and Raspberry Pi computers to integrate digital resources effectively into classroom learning.
