“Robotics for Juniors” Inspires Young Minds to Explore the Future of Technology
On June 27, 2025, the Bangladesh Computer Council (BCC) through its BkIICT division organized a special event titled "Robotics for Juniors" at the ICT Tower in Agargaon, Dhaka. Designed for young school students, the program aimed to introduce the fascinating world of robotics and future technology in a hands-on and engaging manner.
The event began with speeches from distinguished guests who emphasized the importance of robotics in today’s world, its rapid advancement, and how it is set to become an essential part of the future. Speakers encouraged the children to explore the field of robotics and start learning early so they can become innovators and leaders in tomorrow's tech-driven world.
A quick 10-minute quiz round followed the opening session, where students enthusiastically participated. Shish Haider Chowdhury awarded the winners with prizes and praised all the participants for their curiosity and courage to engage with advanced topics at such a young age.
The next part of the event featured an introductory session on basic IoT and robotics. Students learned about what robots are, different types of robots, and how they function in the real world. Key concepts such as Arduino, various types of sensors, and their practical applications were introduced in a simplified manner suitable for beginners.
The program concluded with a highly interactive session where students got the opportunity to see and operate different types of robots and even fly drones under guidance. The excitement peaked as the Alpha Robot performed interactive activities, drawing smiles and amazement from all the attendees.
The event was supported by the Bangladesh Open Source Network (BdOSN), which provided expert mentors and technical guidance to ensure the sessions were educational, inspiring, and smoothly conducted. BdOSN’s contribution helped bridge the gap between complex technology and early learners, making robotics more accessible and enjoyable for the participants.
