When innovation meets inspiration!

The campus of St Thomas’ School, Shimla, was abuzz with energy and innovation as the school hosted its much-anticipated Techno Fest to mark World Robotics Day. Recognised as one of the town’s premier educational institutions, the school celebrated the creative potential of its young learners from Classes I to VIII through a vibrant display of technology and robotics.

From smart locks and auto pots to 3D pens, musical robots, pick and place machines and table lamp circuits, the exhibition showcased a diverse array of student-built models. Projects like the smart fan, volume control circuit, 3D printer, basic car and truck and discovering motion left visitors and faculty impressed with the talent and technical curiosity on display.
