The STEM Lab
for CBSE Schools.
Atal Tinkering Lab & PM SHRI ready. Grades 6 to 10. One lab, every STEM discipline.
A single multi-disciplinary maker space — four zones covering Robotics & Coding, Electronics & IoT, Fabrication & 3D, and Innovation & Design Thinking. Built to fit the Atal Tinkering Lab (ATL) ₹20 lakh grant and PM SHRI funding, with a curriculum aligned to NEP 2020 and NCF SE 2023. Implemented by AVM Infotech — the Grobots program's national implementation partner — across CBSE schools, including ATL implementations like Amrit Vidyalay, Kalol.
Not Four Labs.
One STEM Lab That Does Everything.
"A STEM Lab shouldn't be a room full of disconnected gadgets. The Grobots STEM Lab is one integrated space where robotics, electronics, fabrication and design thinking work together — with a curriculum behind every bench."
The broadest of our three labs — a flexible innovation and tinkering space for Grades 6 to 10 (extendable to 12). Where the AI & Robotics Lab goes deep on one discipline, the STEM Lab goes wide: robotics, electronics, IoT, 3D fabrication and design challenges in one structured space.
Built for schools setting up an Atal Tinkering Lab or upgrading under PM SHRI — with the curriculum, training and VMT support that keep it running past Year 1, when most tinkering labs go dark.
The STEM Lab at a Glance
Four Zones. One Curriculum.
Each zone is a self-contained learning area with its own equipment and projects — but they share one progression, so a single teacher can run the whole lab.
- Grobots Primo & Ultima kits
- micro:bit V2 + sensors
- MakeCode, MicroPython
- Line-followers, gesture cars
- Breadboards & components
- Microcontrollers & sensors
- Wi-Fi / IoT project modules
- Smart-home & data projects
- 3D printer + filament
- 3D design / CAD software
- Hand & measuring tools
- Mechanical build challenges
- Drone kit & flight basics
- Design-thinking challenges
- Open project bench
- Competition & exhibition prep
Exact equipment per zone is tailored to your grade range, budget and ATL grant — confirmed in your proposal. Furniture, IT and advanced equipment are optional modules.
Built to Fit the ₹20 Lakh ATL Grant.
The Atal Tinkering Lab grant from the Atal Innovation Mission (AIM), NITI Aayog provides up to ₹20 lakh per school over five years. The Grobots STEM Lab is structured so the equipment, curriculum and training map directly to the grant's establishment and operational heads — and so the lab keeps delivering long after the grant is disbursed.
Indicative ATL grant structure per AIM guidelines. ATL sanction is granted by AIM directly to the school; Grobots supplies the compliant lab, curriculum and training. Eligible schools (Grades 6–12) can also fund a STEM Lab through PM SHRI or CSR.
What the Grant Buys With Grobots
Mapped to the ATL & NEP Objectives.
The tinkering-lab mandate is about outcomes, not just equipment. Here is how the Grobots STEM Lab delivers against each objective.
| Objective (ATL / NEP 2020) | How the Grobots STEM Lab delivers it |
|---|---|
| Foster curiosity, creativity & imagination in young minds | Open Innovation & Design zone with design-thinking challenges and a free project bench |
| Build skills in design thinking, computational thinking & physical computing | Robotics & Coding zone with MakeCode and MicroPython; Electronics & IoT zone for physical computing |
| Hands-on, experiential, project-based learning (NEP 2020) | 100+ grade-wise projects across all four zones — every concept is built, not just read |
| Exposure to modern tools — 3D printing, electronics, IoT, robotics | Dedicated Fabrication & 3D and Electronics & IoT zones with current, school-safe equipment |
| Sustained use, not a one-time setup | Curriculum, teacher training and VMT video support designed to keep the lab live for years |
| Inclusive access regardless of teacher background | Virtual Master Trainer guidance in English and Hindi, with more Indian languages rolling out — no specialist hire required |
The Honest Question About Every Tinkering Lab.
Most ATL and STEM labs are well-funded and well-stocked — and then sit unused by Year 2 because nobody could teach them. Grobots is engineered around that exact failure point.
What You Don't Need to Have
From Grant to Working Lab.
An Atal Tinkering Lab that runs on the school's own teachers — kept active by a grade-wise project curriculum and step-by-step Virtual Master Trainer video.
Amrit Vidyalay set up its Atal Tinkering Lab with Grobots equipment and curriculum — implemented by AVM Infotech. The combination of grade-wise projects and Virtual Master Trainer videos meant the lab ran on the school's own teachers from day one, the single biggest factor in whether an ATL succeeds or stalls.
