The Ghana-India Kofi Annan Centre of Excellence in ICT (AITI-KACE) says its boot camp to train children in robotics has been largely successful. The four-day camp was organized in partnership with the Ghana Robotics Academy Foundation (GRAF). “It was an intense and exciting boot camp for students between the ages of 12 to 18 -one of the greatest exposition in robotics to kids in that category the nation has ever undertaken. 18 kids participated,” a statement from the organisers indicated. Students were introduced to the science of robotics and how they apply to solving real life problems found around us. The contribution of the great work that scientists of the likes of what Dr Ashitey Trebi-Ollennu is doing with NASA in the US was also shared. The robots deployed during the boot camp are the LEGO Mindstorms NXT. Kids were made to find the connection between the theories they have been working with n their school work and real life situations. The design and building/construction of robots was also treated as a principal part of the boot camp – assembling by joining different pieces of Lego beams, pins, and gears... similar to the common lego pieces, but without the studs. At the end of several lessons, students presented problems that are typical to our environment and then designed and built prototypes of robots to solve them.
