1. User login page for all the workshop participants and their profiles that way both we and they can keep track of what all they have learnt and what else is in store.

2. Download section with 3 categories for the public volunteers, paid users , free users. certain books and material will be available to only paid users or the participants of our workshops

3. Forums , these will include discussions on our workshops how they were and feed back of all the people about them, also they will have topics covering robotics tips and tricks and loads of other goodies. Almost all the forum topics will be open to all except for the company meeting ones

4. Profiles. like on facebook and orkut. something similar but on a smaller scale it will be primarily related to stuff we teach and do

5. We have expanded our arsenal from just robotics to .
1. aero modelling
2. web designing open source(drupal and jhoomala) and the regular dreamweaver and flash
3. Personality development (school children only as of now )
4. Career counseling (schhol children only as of now )
5. Image editing and multimedia

so read on have fun and make use of the resources that we have put here for you.

Autonomous Workshops at IIST concluded successfully

The autonomous introductory workshops on the 7th and 8th of November 2009 were completed successfully with all participants gaining hands on experience on programming and simulating autonomous robots and an array of sensors that they may use from proximity to distance and ir along with loads of other sensors.

The workshop was attended by a total of 150 students 75 on each day. The duration was a gruelling 9 hours but at the same time also very stimulating for the participants who were very enthusiastic till 10 in the night, that is when the workshop concluded.

Workshop India thanks Indian Institute of Space Science and technology for giving us a warm welcome and an amazingly talented and enthusiastic student base. Who learnt autonomous from scratch in one day. 90% of the participants had little or no knowledge of robotics and when we started and towards the end of the day they were all programming and developing their bots as well as competing with each other for the best and quickest designs, Kudos to the participants.

Over all an amazing workshop ! !

We teach from the ground up ( video a must watch )

hi

here is something amazing. In our session in Hyderabad on the 18th of October 2009 we came across something really amazing. One of our participants in the workshop on manual and wireless robotics was to our surprise a 6th standard boy, he apparently came along with his sister ! !. This young man after the completion was asked by one of our volunteers if he would like to tell the 100 engineers sitting in the room what he had learn. He promptly walks up to the stage and asks us to start the presentation again, Although a little taken aback we decided to see what he had learnt.What happened later was amazing in every sense. View the video that we have posted along with the blog.
For those of you who don't have the patience to watch the video. He explains the complete circuitry involved in wired and wireless flawlessly to the astounded crowd of 100 engineers sitting in the hall

here is the video click here

We have decided to train him in autonomous robotics by his 8th class free of cost provided his parents allow us.
