KITE partners with Navy Children School Kochi to enhance STEM education with AI, robotics labs and digital resources.
The Kerala Infrastructure and Technology for Education (KITE), the technical arm of the General Education department, and Navy Children School (NCS), Kochi, a CBSE institution under the aegis of the Naval Education Society, have entered into an agreement whereby KITE will extend comprehensive support across key educational domains.
Under the partnership, cutting-edge AI and Robotics laboratories fully equipped with Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) tools will be established to foster an engaging and hands-on STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) learning environment for students. K. Anvar Sadath, CEO of KITE, and Commodore Ben H. Berson, vice chairperson of NCS Kochi, signed the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) here on Monday.
KITE will spearhead capacity-building initiatives by conducting structured training programmes for teachers aimed at enhancing their proficiency in digital pedagogy, ISP integration, and innovative classroom practices. The initiative will also promote the effective use of smart classroom technologies to enrich the overall teaching-learning experience, according to a communication.
The partnership will see the introduction of KITE’s acclaimed Little KITEs IT Club programme at NCS Kochi, fostering student-led innovation through hands-on projects in coding, robotics and artificial intelligence. Additionally, KITE will extend access to its vast digital resources, including the KITE VICTERS educational channel platform, enabling students to engage in content creation and showcase their projects to a wider audience.
“This national-level initiative reflects our commitment to democratising digital education,” a release issued here quoted Mr. Sadath as saying. “We are not just providing technology, but building an ecosystem where Navy schoolchildren can thrive in the digital age, supported by infrastructure, training, and innovation platforms. KITE’s multidimensional support perfectly aligns with our vision for 21st-century education, offering our students unparalleled exposure and opportunities in emerging technologies,” said Mr. Berson.
