HamaraLabs- Enable Experiential Learning

What it does

Atal Tinkering labs (ATL) setup by NITI-Aayog, Govt. of India are maker spaces for high school students to do hands-on-activities. 10,000 ATLs are set up catering to around 10 million students. ATL contains educational and learning do-it-yourself kits and equipment on science, electronics, robotics, open-source microcontroller boards, sensors, 3D printers and computers.
With the vast amount of information available online, ATL students today may have access to resources on how to perform various hands-on activities, but they often face the challenge of choosing what specific tinkering activity to pursue among the myriad options. This decision paralysis is leading to confusion and inaction, hindering their ability to engage in experiential learning.
HamaraLabs is a web app developed to generate customised and personalised tinkering activities for students doing experiential learning.
Here is an example of series of customised tinkering activities generated :
Initial tinkering activity assigned - Use solar energy to light an LED.
Customised tinkering activities generated by Gemini API - 1.Use solar energy to run a DC motor 2.Use solar energy to light an LED and run a DC motor controlled by a switch 3.Use solar energy to light an LED and run a DC motor, connect two solar panels in series
..
n.Use solar energy generated from 1 kW solar panels to run 3 computers, 2 tube lights and 2 fans. We used Gemini API's written in Node js and hosted in firebase cloud functions.
