Project e-Yantra is an initiative to spread education in embedded systems and Robotics by IIT Bombay sponsored by Ministry of Human Resource Development through the National Mission on Education through ICT (NMEICT). The objective of e-Yantra is to provide hands-on learning to engineering students, creating the next generation of engineers in India with a practical outlook to take on challenging problems and provide solutions.
KCG College of Technology is a member of e-Yantra and has set up a state of the art laboratory under the e-Yantra Lab Set-up Initiative (eLSI).The KCG e-Yantra Robotics Lab trains students in embedded systems and micro-controller programming by engaging them through the Project Based Learning (PBL) mode.
A Workshop in Robotics was conducted for the pupils of Hindustan International School, Karapakkam. The children were of different age group ranging from Grade 6 to Grade 9.
