Robotics @ SBOA

By Categories: 

The new ROBOTIX classes are all set to begin around the end of August.

When we started learning computers, remember our parents hardly knew anything about it, now life has come a full circle with our kids getting into robotics. If you are anything like me, then you don't have a clue!

As I persisted researching the topic, few things became clearer. The basic requirements for robotics is not just imagination and curiosity, it also needs tons of patience and perseverance. It seems to help the kids explore their creativity, develop some personality (remember patience & preseverence!) and in the process add on to their existing knowledge of Math, Physics and Computer Programming.

I believe for the tiny tots, it would be very basic and more advanced for the older kids.

The fees for the ROBOTIX class in school is Rs.2000

One class per week is conducted and the days are

Monday for 1st & 2nd std
Wednesday for 3rd & 4th std
Thursday for 5th & 6th std
Friday for 7th & 8th std

Right now there is no information if the kit will be provided or not.

SBOA School and Junior College, Anna Nagar Western Extension, Chennai; affiliated to CBSE - LKG Interview

By
We had applied for a seat in LKG at SBOA School and Junior College, Anna Nagar Western Extension, Chennai; affiliated to CBSE on the 21st of Jan 2009. The interview was scheduled for the 31st Jan 2009. We just completed the interview yesterday. We were worried that we might have to wait for ever as there were over a thousand candidates to be interviewed (For, I guess around approximately 600 seats). However, the interview process was conducted so smoothly that it must have taken considerable amount of planning from the SBOA school authorities. We were through with the entire process within an hour, including a waiting time of around 40 Min's. The interviewer was friendly and asked my daughter a few simple questions like her name, colour of the dress she was wearing and to name a couple of common animals (by showing her toy animals). On the whole a very friendly and non-intimidating interview. After this, the applications get passed to another school staff, to whom t...
