A Rajiv Gandhi Science Centre Initiative<\/u><\/span><\/p>\n

The Rajiv Gandhi Science Centre (RGSC), in close collaboration with the Embassy of the Russian Federation in the Republic of Mauritius, will be launching next week the \u201cDays for Robotics and Innovative Educational Technologies.\u201d This immersive three-day program is scheduled to run from 17 to 19 November 2025 at the RGSC premises in Bell Village.<\/span><\/p>\n

The event aims to introduce students, educators, and the wider public to the fascinating world of emerging technologies through a series of interactive, hands-on, and educational activities focusing on robotics, virtual reality (VR), and innovative learning tools.<\/span><\/p>\n

The opening ceremony on 17 November 2025 will be graced by the presence of Hon K. S. Sukon, Minister of Tertiary Education, Science and Research, and Ms Irada Zeynalova, Ambassador of the Russian Federation to the Republic of Mauritius.<\/span><\/p>\n

This initiative is a core part of the ongoing collaboration between RGSC and the Russian Embassy, designed to significantly enhance science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) learning in Mauritius. The partnership reflects a shared commitment to strengthening youth participation in science and technology and promoting advanced digital literacy, which is fully aligned with the country’s national development priorities.<\/span><\/p>\n

The “Days for Robotics and Innovative Educational Technologies” offers a rich and diverse schedule tailored to inspire the next generation of innovators, featuring:<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Interactive Career-Discovery Quiz \u2013 “Return of the Tesseract”, designed to help students explore promising career pathways in IT, game development, and emerging digital fields.<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. Master Classes in Robotics and Immersive Technologies, comprising three parallel, hands-on workshops, giving participants direct experience with cutting-edge tools aimed at – Developing a Game in Virtual Reality; VR Master Class: Interactive Geometric Modelling; Assembling a Lunar Rover Robotics Kit.<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. Full-Day Exhibition on Scientific and Technical Creativity, to showcase a range of technological advancements, including robotics platforms, VR educational environments, and innovative demonstrations from both Russian and Mauritian teams.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    These activities are expected to engage more than 300 students and educators, providing them with a platform to interact with cutting-edge technologies and discover opportunities for further studies and careers in fields like robotics, mechatronics, and digital design.<\/span><\/p>\n
