STEM
STEM stands for Science Technology Engineering Mathematics and STEM Education refers to studying
these areas with theoretical as well as a practical approach. A STEM curriculum is designed to provide
its students with maximum possible practical exposure and hands-on experience in a particular field. It
offers a perfect blend of course modules with a few mandatory lab assignments and group projects,
which help in learning through practical implementation of theoretical knowledge. This kind of
vocational training is being introduced at the K-12 level in many schools worldwide.

ROBOTICS
Robotics is the intersection of science, engineering and technology that produces machines, called
robots, that substitute for (or replicate) human actions. Robots were originally built to handle
monotonous tasks (like building cars on an assembly line), but have since expanded well beyond their
initial uses to perform tasks like fighting fires, cleaning homes and assisting with incredibly intricate
surgeries. Each robot has a differing level of autonomy, ranging from human-controlled bots that carry
out tasks that a human has full control over to fully autonomous bots that perform tasks without any
external influences

Q1.What robots can do?

1. Automate manual or repetitive activities in corporate or industrial settings.
2. Work in unpredictable or hazardous environments to spot hazards like gas leaks.
3. Process and deliver reports for enterprise security.
4. Fill out pharmaceutical prescriptions and prep IVs.
5. Deliver online orders, room service and even food packets during emergencies.
6. Assist during surgeries. Robots can also make music, monitor shorelines for dangerous predators,
help with search and rescue and even assist with food preparation.

1. Perform surgeries but not soothe scared patients.

2. Sense furtive footsteps in a closed-off area, but not take action against gate-crashers.
3. Lead exercise sessions for the elderly but not ease their loneliness.
4. help medical professionals with diagnoses, but not empathize with patients.
5. learn from data, but not correctly respond to unexpected situations.

Q3.How are robots useful?

Robots are used in multiple areas, especially where they can alleviate strenuous tasks or complete
missions that are dangerous for a human to undertake. Robots eliminate dangerous jobs for humans
because they are capable of working in hazardous environments. They can handle lifting heavy loads,
toxic substances and repetitive tasks. This has helped companies to prevent many accidents, also
saving time and money. In the medical field robots are used for intricate surgeries such as prostate
cancer surgery. Robots are able to reach and fit where human hands cannot, allowing greater accuracy.
Robotic benefits in the medical field can be less invasive procedures and reduce pain for the patient
when recovering.
Q4.How robots are different from machines?

be otherwise laborious. A robot is a machine that carries out tasks or groups of tasks that have been
pre-programmed in it. Robots are machines with additional features hence more functionality.
SESSION-2

BREADBOARD
A breadboard is used to build and test circuits quickly before finalizing any circuit design. The
breadboard has many holes into which circuit components like ICs and resistors can be inserted.
A typical breadboard is shown below:

The bread board has strips of metal which run underneath the board and connect the holes on the top
of the board. The metal strips are laid out as shown below. Note that the top and bottom rows of holes
are connected horizontally while the remaining holes are connected vertically.

To use the bread board, the legs of components are placed in the holes. Each set of holes connected by
a metal strip underneath forms a node. A node is a point in a circuit where two components are
connected. Connections between different components are formed by putting their legs in a common
node. The long top and bottom row of holes are usually used for power supply connections. The rest of
the circuit is built by placing components and connecting them together with jumper wires. ICs are
placed in the middle of the board so that half of the legs are on one side of the middle line and half on
the other.
A completed circuit might look like the following:
Types of breadboard:
There are mainly 3 types of breadboard, they are as follows:-
1.Full size breadboard
2.Half size breadboard
3.Mini size breadboard

Breadboarding tips:
It is important to breadboard a circuit neatly and systematically, so that one can debug it and get it
running easily and quickly. It also helps when someone else needs to understand and inspect the
circuit. Here are some tips:
1. Always use the side-lines for power supply connections. Power the chips from the side-lines and
not directly from the power supply.
2. Use black wires for ground connections (0V), and red for other power connections.
3. Keep the jumper wires on the board flat, so that the board does not look cluttered.
4. Route jumper wires around the chips and not over the chips. This makes changing the chips when
needed easier.
5. You could trim the legs of components like resistors, transistors and LEDs, so that they fit in snugly
and do not get pulled out by accident.

Advantages of breadboard:
1.It require soldering to connect the components on board.
2.If the circuit is not working properly then, we can easily check and rectify them by taking out the
components and replace them easily.
SESSION-3

LED
A light-emitting diode (LED) is a semiconductor device that emits light when an electric current flows
through it. When current passes through an LED, the electrons recombine with holes emitting light in
the process. LEDs allow the current to flow in the forward direction and blocks the current in the reverse
direction

Fig.. LED and its symbol

VOLTAGE REGULATOR
The voltage regulator IC 7805 is actually a member of the 78xx series of voltage regulator ICs. It is a fixed
linear voltage regulator. The xx present in 78xx represents the value of the fixed output voltage that the
particular IC provides. For 7805 IC, it is +5V DC regulated power supply. This regulator IC also adds a
provision for a heat sink. The input voltage to this voltage regulator can be up to 35V, and this IC can give
a constant 5V for any value of input less than or equal to 35V which is the threshold limit.

Learning Objective:-

How to calculate the distance using an Ultrasonic sensor, How to print the
values obtained from a sensor over the LCD screen.

nar which gets reflected back by any object in its path. Based upon this phe-

Distance = (speed x time) Speed of sound = 340 m/s.
