Robotics Winnings at GIS – January 2026
We are proud to highlight the achievements of our students in Robotics. Their participation and winnings in several competitions at the National, State and district level is a testament to their knowledge, passion and forward thinking skills.
In all the competitions, the main focus is to gamify the rubrics of Robotics so that students can learn them as a team event and hence quantify the outcome.
The students participated in these events according to their age categories and their presentations connected well to the main theme of each competition.
Vigyantram and World Robotics Olympiad are both National level events in which our students participate every year. The results are quite encouraging with students getting recognition at the national level.
Tinkerfest 3.0 had cash rewards of 5k for 1st Prize, 3K for 2nd prize and 2K for 3rd prize. At Echelon too students won a cash prize of 6K for the first position, 3k for 2nd position and 1.5k for the 3rd position.
