To increase the interest in clubs, Boot clubs will be facilitated with microprocessor-based electric kit, censor kit and robotic kit. The students from 8th to 10th standard will be given these kits. In fact, 710 kits will be distributed in these schools. Later on, more kits will be distributed. To enable teachers to handle boot clubs, a special training session will be held. The training will enable teachers to use the kits and help them prepare students to innovate in the required fields.
How will these Boot clubs help children?
Boot clubs will develop interest in science and technology. Knowledge of technology will help these kids to set up their businesses in future. Even the students with an IT-based idea or start-up will be provided help by government said Kiran Maheshwari.
