In the area of industrial automation, educational training on the same is very primary in the mechatronics and machining fields. The challenges of the development of the Robotics curriculum are well explained in the classroom environment. Early childhood exposure to Robotics play an important benefit in understanding and adapting the robotics technology.

Here are the 7 dots you can connect to develop a curriculum for Robotics.

1. Foundational Learning to be adapted to set the learnings as per the age of the students.
2. Outline schedules for robotics learning every day or in a week.
3. Research on what kind of robotic mechanisms excites the student the most.
4. Assign students with robotic projects.
5. Integrate practical learning parallel to technical learning.
6. Provide Robotics tools to students.
7. Do routine assessment tests.

The main objective of this framework is to develop the curriculum in Robotics Technology Program at the learning and nurturing level with minimally impacting other existing curriculums.
