This full-day interactive workshop is designed for school students from underserved rural and conflict-affected regions of Sri Lanka, including the island areas of the Jaffna District (Delft, Nainativu, Analaitivu, Eluvaitivu, Karainagar) and the Mullaitivu District. The program aims to bridge the digital divide by introducing students to Artificial Intelligence (AI), Internet of Things (IoT), and Robotics through beginner-friendly, hands-on activities.
Students will participate in demonstrations, group exercises, and practical learning sessions to enhance their technological awareness and problem-solving skills. The initiative also seeks to inspire students to pursue STEM education and technology-related careers, with IEEE student members and undergraduate volunteers serving as mentors and facilitators.
By the end of the program, participants are expected to gain foundational knowledge of emerging technologies, increased confidence in using digital tools, and greater motivation toward higher education and technology-focused career pathways.
