E-Yantra is a project by IIT, Bombay to spread education in Embedded systems and Robotics. BANNER
E-Yantra Lab setup Initiative (eLSI):
In this colleges from the various region will be invited to the Nodal Center for participating in the initiative. Colleges commit a team of teachers to be trained through a two-day workshop; this team also participates in the e-Yantra Robotics teacher competition. Through the competition teachers will be trained in handling the robot and implementing a project – this prepares them with the complete Robotics project life cycle helping them assign such projects to their students.. Each team that successfully participates in the competition is awarded a basic set of Robots to help their college start off the Robotics lab setup.
