The Robotics Club at Dhirubhai Ambani International School has been a source of leadership, collaboration, and teamwork for
its students over the past year. The club members have been working together on various projects, including learning AutoCAD and
programming. The club provided the members with resources to learn about the different concepts, which made for an effective
learning experience. The members had the chance to inculcate new skills of logical thinking and critical analysis and had the
opportunity to learn various new softwares and programming languages. Further, the club has also been a source of support for its
members, providing them with a space to work on their projects and offering advice when needed. On a personal level, the club has
meant a lot to its members, who have gained valuable skills and experience through their involvement. The club has provided them
with an opportunity to learn about robotics and engineering, and to apply their knowledge to real-world projects. In addition, the club
has helped its members to develop teamwork and leadership skills, which will be invaluable to them in their future careers.
The Robotics Club at Dhirubhai Ambani International School has had a positive impact on its members, and will continue to do so in
the future.
