Infosys - Lab on wheels
Infosys Springboard Maker Lab on Wheels
The 21st century industry revolution is phrased as the fourth industrial one and is called Industry 4.0. It refers to the period of connectivity, data led analytics, extreme automation, and the like. To prepare our young learners to prepare for this revolution and foster a sense of curiosity,imagination and bring out the creativity, the Infosys Springboard Maker Lab on Wheels has been designed.
The Indian sub-continent is vast, and its citizens populate the most remote locations of this country. To ensure no learner is left out for want of accessibility to best in class learning opportunities, the Infosys Springboard Maker Lab on Wheels was conceived to take learning to the doorstep of the learners, anytime, anyplace! Through this initiative, it is a reflection of our constant endeavor to make available quality & relevant content, accessible across rural areas providing the last mile connectivity.
This initiative aims to bridge the rural urban divide and in taking equitable education to the doorsteps of underserved.
The Infosys Springboard Maker Lab on Wheels will reach out to all the rural schools / colleges and provide access to industry 4.0 STEM labs. A qualified trainer will be providing the essential training on the kits and projects for all the learners through relevant content powered through the Infosys Springboard platform.
Students will get to perform experiments on the kits, understand the applications in cutting edge technology tools to develop 21st century skills while learning about the fundamental technologies that are driving the digital revolution. IoT experiments will improve the learning outcomes and add a lot of value to the physical teaching environment.
The students will get to work on experiments covering the concept and their application simulations in real-world:
· Basic electronics and their applications
· Microcontroller based coding projects using Arduino boards.
· Robotic projects
· Bot based projects.
· Precision systems
We have experiments and courses for students from Grade 6-12, Polytechnic and college students. We have content in both English and regional languages like Tamil, Kannada, Hindi and Marathi.
Infosys Springboard shares the vision of Govt. of India to provide industry readiness education and skill building content to all remote schools and colleges. We believe that Infosys Springboard Lab on Wheels will be a gamechanger in making education accessible, relevant, and rewarding creating a talent ready India. We have so far successfully implemented this initiative in the states of KA, TN, MH, UP and Telangana covering 50k students in the process.
