Ingenuity

Great Stuff

We were cordially persuaded to have a peep at their work; their blood and sweat concoctions. 

Boys are boys; they are different from girls. 

Girls love girly things; origami, dolls, love stories, baking, cooking and gossiping.

Boys love things that I don't understand; ROBOTS.

But they can be obsessed by their love; no night and no day.

Do you understand why they are trying to do? The mechanism is supposed to carry 'containers' and drop them at the strategic spots without causing any collapse.

The boys are deciphering what could possibly go wrong; whether their robot will fumble in its act. They explained that the greatest challenge is to get enough power to ensure a smooth ride by the robot in its duty to accomplish its task. So the power must be right amount for right moments.

The juniors are also very enterprising. They create models that can climb an uneven topography without dropping off . They come with their computers and remote controls to monitor the movements.

These models are no cheap toys. Their parents have invested quite a bit on them; with the hope that the children will develop skills beyond the normal calling. Will these ones turn out to be scientists? Will they be the ones to create the best devices? Great creators must have started from school benches; don't they?

Look at the keenness. We are really proud of their enthusiasm.

 

Whoops... this thing could not have been created in a little while; in fact I have been told that they have been working on it since months ago.Calculations must be super accurate for the robot to take instructions well. On receiving a stimulus, the robot is supposed to push it away ; what a challenge. Perfect coordination between instruction and action. Even humans don't take instructions well. That's why it is sometimes better to control a robot.

Another one; we were told that this one can really take orders well. Isn't it sweet?

One of the boys actually told me that his parents are behind his interest in robots and that they have created a remarkable home environment for him and his siblings to develop their skills.His parents have invested quite a bit in their robots and he repeatedly say that he is grateful for their support. This boy I spoke to by the way has a tremendous penchant for writing. He has multiple intelligences and very wholesome.

The children in school are a creative lot; there is no end to it.
