I come from Chittoor district, Andhra Pradesh, and I recently completed my B.Tech in 2025 from IIIT RGUKT RK Valley. During my academic journey, I developed a strong interest in robotics, electronics, and embedded systems. I began exploring Arduino and Micro:bit during my college years, building basic circuits and automating simple tasks. This hands-on learning ignited my passion for teaching robotics in an engaging, practical way.

After graduation, I started working as a Robotics Trainer at a robotics institute, where I taught school students across various age groups. Over the past 6 months, I have delivered more than 1000+ hours of training, both in-person and online. I introduced students to real-time hardware and software tools such as Arduino, Micro:bit, Tinkercad, Scratch, Thunkable, and EduBlocks. I helped them understand how to build simple yet exciting projects, such as traffic light simulators, smart dustbins, dice roller apps, temperature sensors, and app-based home automation controls.

To teach electronics basics, I used Tinkercad to simulate circuits before implementing them physically. For coding, I started with Scratch, guiding students to build animations, games, and logic-based activities. For mobile app development, I introduced them to Thunkable, where they built apps like calculators, timers, dice rollers, and even basic IoT interfaces. I also used EduBlocks to help students transition from block-based coding to Python-like syntax, helping them draw shapes, control LEDs, and simulate real-world sensors.

I focused not just on teaching concepts, but also on making learning fun, relatable, and child-friendly. I regularly designed lesson plans tailored to the students’ learning levels. Beginners were guided patiently, while advanced learners were given extra challenges to explore deeper. I always emphasized creativity, logical thinking, and problem-solving. My students often presented their work to the class, which helped improve their confidence and communication skills.

Apart from conducting classes, I also prepared worksheets, activity guides, and even short video tutorials. I stayed in regular touch with parents and provided updates on student progress. I believe feedback is key to improvement, so I often collected feedback from students and used it to enhance my teaching methods. I also helped guide students in science exhibition projects, such as automatic hand sanitizers, smart alarm systems, and water-level indicators.

As a trainer, I’m patient, enthusiastic, and always ready to explain a concept multiple times in different ways until a student fully understands it. I make sure no student feels left out or overwhelmed. I handle tough days by staying calm, organizing my thoughts, and learning from the experience. What gives me mental satisfaction is seeing a child understand a concept, complete a project, and smile with pride. That moment makes every effort worthwhile.

I continue to upskill myself regularly by learning new tools and platforms. I’ve started exploring Python and AI fundamentals to take my teaching to the next level. I follow edtech updates and experiment with tools like MIT App Inventor and Code.org to bring more value to my students. My goal is to inspire children to think like innovators and build things that solve real-world problems.

To sum up, I bring a solid technical foundation, creative teaching skills, and a deep passion for STEM education. My background in engineering, combined with hands-on teaching experience, makes me confident in my ability to train and inspire young minds in the field of robotics. I’m now looking forward to joining a company that shares this vision and gives me a platform to grow and contribute meaningfully.
