Child scientist
They didn’t want their son to waste his precious time sitting the whole day in front of the T.V. or with a mobile or simply annoying his siblings or parents like other children.
But the boy, studying at Govindapuram Kendriya Vidyalaya in Bengaluru, was interested in making robots. he went to Savad teacher, who runs a robotic centre close to his house, to learn how to make one.
Alok had been hearing that hand hygiene is essential in the fight against Covid-19. He wondered: Why not make a robot that dispenses the sanitizer, so that one does not need to touch the bottle at all?
And he succeeded in making one.
“It was nice to see him make the most of this time and create things that are useful,” says his mother Poornima with a big smile.
Now Alok’s mind is turned towards making a robot that will fold clothes. “I need to make something useful for society,” says the ten-year-old boy. “my dream is to become a robotics scientist when I grow up and create robots that can make life easier for humans,” says the future scientist with a heart for humanity.
