  "account": "Mumbai: Fifty teachers and senior officials from Mumbai's Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) schools explored opportunities to incorporate robotics and emerging technologies into civic school curricula on a recent visit to the Indian Institute of Technology Bombay (IIT Bombay). IIT professors Kavi Arya and Shivaram Kalyanakrishnan educated the group about the institute's e-Yantra robotics project, showcasing demonstrations of drones, line-following robots, and other robotics initiatives. The teachers and officials witnessed a \"lab-in-a-box\" model aimed at facilitating practical learning activities in schools.\n\nThe visit's objective was to enable teachers to contemplate how to integrate technology lessons into the civic school system. During an open-house discussion with IIT experts, the educators learned about implementing the National Education Policy 2020 and techniques to make learning more engaging. IIT Bombay's Kavi Arya expressed optimism that exposure to e-Yantra could inspire some students to contemplate startup possibilities. The civic body announced plans to continue conducting robotics and coding activities in collaboration with IIT Bombay, with faculty members expected to guide the students. The specific timing and participating schools have yet to be disclosed.",
