An initiative was taken by EMK Center -Maker Lab for training 30x4= 120 students (60 Male & 60 Female) in 04 cohorts in the technology of the 4th Industrial Revolution. This session was the 1st of total 04 sessions- where the initially trained participants will be further trained under the supervision of expert mentors to materialize the training by planning, designing, and making a scientifically proven concept paper/ robot/solution. In this Session-01, participants were introduced to different national and international competitions, where they can show their excellence of learning and knowledge (i.e.: BdRO, WRO, IROC, ACM-ICPC, BIG, a2i, CODE RACE, etc.) The program was held on 9th August, 2021. 1st Cohort attended from 7:15 pm - 8:30 pm and 2nd Cohort attended from 8:45 pm- 10:00 pm. Both sessions were taken by Redwan Ferdous, Mentor of Embedded system of MakerLab, EMK Center.
