Importance of technological Education.

“If we teach today as we taught yesterday, we rob our children of tomorrow.”

This lines precisely sums up today’s scenario. Today technology plays a much more important role in our lives than it ever had. The dependence, the strength and the usage are much more today.

Hence it becomes all the more important to involve technological education as a part of learning.

While our traditional education did keep a glimpse of what technology could mean to the millennial generation, today education needs to focus more on the power that technology gives us. For this it is required to integrate technological education.

As automation, AI, IoT take over the usual pace of processes, they also bring about innovation, efficiency, time & cost reduction with them. When students are empowered with learnings of these technologies, they tend to have a more open mind that is agile and ready to seek solutions.

Technological education builds up a solution centric approach. As coding develops creative and logical thinking of a student, it also gives them potential to be globally competitive. Today the scenario of education is changing in the entire world.

This is also because unlike previous generations, children already know how to tackle technological devices, how to operate them and how to make most of it. So, it becomes important to educate them of the power technology holds so that they, the future denizens can build innovations recognized everywhere.

Skills Fostered by Robotics.

Robotics.

Some people believe Robots can replace humans. This itself explains the power of robotics. The world is rapidly moving towards automation, artificial intelligence or robots.

What is Robotics/Robot?

Robots are programmed machines or gadgets that have set of instructions coded in them that operated by humans. The association of Alexa, Siri, Google assistant, chat bots etc proves how prominent robotics is getting.

Why Robotics for students?

Considering the importance of robotics in the world, it gets even more essential to have students equipped with the knowledge of robotics. This is not just to encourage the use of technology and ease out the difficult processes but also because robotics creates a certain acumen in students which boosts their productivity.

How?

Firstly robotics encourages creativity; the curriculum of robotics is such that the process is fun as well as creative. It requires them to use more of their innovative skills.

Second, they enhance the programming skills of students, which also implies that their logical mindset, critical thinking is put to effect.

Third, it introduces them to the most required skills and technology. Learning of robotics develops acumen and awareness of what is happening around. They become more open minded.

Fourth, instead of focusing on repetitive tasks they will have a mindset to come up with quick solutions. It is believed learning robotics will not only foster solution oriented thinking but also encourage team work amongst students.

It is said ‘ Modern problems require Modern Solutions’. Hence for the students of 21st century it is very essential to have the skills of this century. And training on robotics, artificial intelligence develops such skills.
