The Indraprastha Institute of Information Technology, Delhi, Innovation and Incubation Centre organised a ten-day summer camp on STEM and the future, for students from class 4 upwards, from 1 to 10 June 2025. Rishietdeep Singh (XI), Aryan Sehgal (IX), Ankit Jana (XI), Aditya Basoya (XI), Shaurya Dutta (XI), Ankur Chatterjee (XII) and Bhavya Kaim (XII) of The Indian School participated in the camp.
The first day began with a clear and simple introduction to the field of Information Technology, helping students understand its core concepts. They then learned the basics of hardware and software systems through an engaging session. Later, they were introduced to “Arduino” and explored how to build virtual circuits using “Tinkercad”.
The next day, students received individual kits and began building their own robotic cars. Excitement filled the room as they assembled various components and explored how each part functioned. The following day marked a major milestone. Students created “Arduino” circuits and understood how the components connect and interact. With support and teamwork, they successfully completed their robotic cars. On the fourth day, they upgraded their robotic cars with sensors to detect and avoid obstacles. Through smart programming, the robots could now steer around hurdles. The day also included a quiz, which the students of The Indian School won with the highest score and accuracy.
The fifth day introduced advanced “ESP32” boards. Students used them to build temperature sensors and learnt how devices collect and share real-time data. On the sixth day, they expanded their IoT skills by simulating smart home devices. They designed webpages that can remotely control lights and appliances, gaining insight into how technology connects the digital and physical worlds. The seventh day opened the door to artificial intelligence. Students explored different types of AI and how it is used in daily life. They experimented with tools like “Sora” and created their own image recognition models using “Pictoblox”.
On the eighth day, the focus shifted to aerodynamics. Students built simple ‘‘Mama Bug’’ gliders using foam sheets and learnt how air flow affects flight. Watching their creations glide was an exciting moment. The penultimate day raised the bar. Students were divided into two teams and tasked with building RC model planes using real electronics such as receivers, transmitters and motors. It was a full day of collaboration, creativity and problem-solving.
On the final day, students successfully completed their RC planes. The fully assembled models stood as a proud reminder of their hard work, persistence and learning over the past ten days. The camp concluded with a lively hackathon where students applied their knowledge of electronics, coding, robotics and AI. Aryan Sehgal, Rishietdeep Singh and Bhavya Kaim stood out with exceptional performances and were awarded prizes. The certificate ceremony brought the experience to a cheerful close, celebrating a journey filled with learning, teamwork and innovation.
