Facilitator: The Tech Academy
Session Description: “Robotics 101” workshop is a fun, hands-on session designed to spark creativity, curiosity, and problem-solving in children. Through guided activities, participants explore how technology can make everyday life easier by designing and building their own Arduino-based smart machines and gain practical experience with sensors, coding, and automation. The workshop blends STEM learning with creative thinking, encourages teamwork, innovation, and a love for building things that make a difference.
Facilitator Bio: TTA has successfully partnered with leading organizations such as Goethe-Institut Bangladesh, Clay Station, and various schools and NGOs to deliver creative technology workshops for children. Since 2013, they have been conducting hands-on sessions across English medium schools, community centers, and cultural events—offering both indoor and outdoor workshops that engage students in real-world learning. From building smart robots and coding games to animating stories and designing innovations, their work seamlessly blends STEM learning with imagination and play.
