About this opportunity
The TECHSTIEN AI Gesture Controlled Robot Workshop is a two-day immersive program designed to introduce students to the exciting fields of Artificial Intelligence and Robotics. Participants will gain practical, hands-on experience in building and programming robots that can be controlled using hand gestures, fostering a deeper understanding of AI concepts and their real-world applications.
This opportunity is open to students in grades 3-9, typically aged 8-14 years, who are eager to explore AI and robotics. No prior experience in these fields is required, making it accessible for beginners across India. The workshop aims to inspire young innovators and provide them with foundational skills in cutting-edge technologies.
Participants will develop critical skills in AI, robotics, and problem-solving. They will receive hands-on training, build their own gesture-controlled robots, and gain exposure to advanced technological concepts. The program culminates in a national-level competition at IIT Delhi, offering a platform for students to showcase their creations and compete with peers.
Selected students from preliminary rounds will be invited to the Grand Finale at IIT Delhi during the Tryst fest. This provides a unique opportunity for national-level recognition and interaction within a prestigious academic environment, enhancing their learning journey and future prospects in STEM fields.
Rounds and format
The event consists of three main stages: a 2-day hands-on workshop, a preliminary school-level competition to select top 10-12 students, and a Grand Finale at IIT Delhi during the Tryst fest for selected students from Round 2.
