How to Set Up a Robotics Lab in School — and How School Tech Solution Helps Create Innovation Classrooms ?
In today’s rapidly evolving technological landscape, education must do more than prepare students for exams — it must prepare them for the future. That’s where an innovation-led, hands-on approach to STEM comes into play. Setting up a robotics lab in school fosters creative thinking, collaboration, and real-world problem-solving skills.
At School Tech Solution, our mission is to empower schools with an Innovation Lab where students can:
- Build like an Engineer
- Create like an Artist
- Design like a Technologist
- Question like a Scientist
- Deduce like a Mathematician
- And most importantly… Play like a Child!
Here’s how to get started — and how School Tech Solution supports every step of the journey.
Step-by-Step Guide to Setting Up a AI and Robotics Lab
Step 1: Assess Infrastructure Requirements
Designate a space within the school that can be converted into an engaging, functional lab. Equip it with:
- Sturdy workstations for group collaboration
- A testing area for robot trials
- Storage units for tools and kits
- Visuals like STEM-themed posters to spark curiosity
School Tech Solution helps with lab design, hardware selection, and layout optimization.
Step 2: Implement a Structured Curriculum
A robust, board-aligned curriculum is key. The program should include:
- Basics of Coding and Algorithms
- AI and Machine Learning concepts
- Hands-on Robotics Projects
- Real-time Assessment and Feedback Tools
Our NEP 2020-aligned content supports CBSE, ICSE, IB, and Cambridge boards, and includes LMS access, teacher guides, and practical activity books.
Step 3: Equip with DIY Robotics Kits
Provide students with access to kits that suit multiple levels:
- Beginner to advanced robotics kits
- AI and IoT-enabled hardware
- Tinkering and prototyping kits
- Drones and smart sensors
School Tech Solution supplies plug-and-play kits designed for engagement, creativity, and exploration.
Step 4: Integrate Coding and AI Platforms
Use user-friendly platforms that allow students to:
- Start with visual coding (drag-and-drop)
- Progress to Python or JavaScript
- Explore AI, ML, and IoT simulations
- Access interactive coursework via LMS
We ensure software integration is smooth and license-ready.
Step 5: Provide Comprehensive Teacher Training
Empower educators through in-depth training and support:
- 5-day induction training for curriculum and tools
- Ongoing mentoring and classroom support
- Refresher trainings every 4 months
- Access to technical guidance and troubleshooting
