Silicon Group of Companies offers 'Funology,' a hands-on robotics program for children aged 8 to 14, emphasizing STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) education through activity-based learning. Recognized by NASA, the program encourages creativity and problem-solving, promoting essential skills for future success. Each level of the program spans 6 to 8 months, nurturing students' understanding of mechanics, electronics, and robotics.

1. TECHNOLOGY EDUCATION FOR THE FUTUREConcept appreciated by NASA, USAFor kids aged 8 to 14

2. About usSilicon group of companies started in 1996 Silicon Micro Systems and Silicon Labs are well known in the field of VLSI design, Embedded Systems and Communication products Silicon World introduced FUNOLOGY in 2006, an innovative and creative robotics training concept for childrenPioneer in Robotics education for children in IndiaSilicon World is recognized by DET & DTE, also partnering with LEGO-USA, Velleman-Belgium.

3. "… to create a world where science and technology are celebrated… where young people dream of becoming science and technology heroes …"

4. Where is the engineer of 2020?In 4th Grade, 10 year olds!

5. What is FUNOLOGY?Funology is a next generation, activity based program, enabling kids to discover science, technology, engineering and math in a fun, engaging and hands-on wayIt’s a concept based on “learning by doing”This program provides students with right tools to put their theoretical knowledge into practice and challenges them to come up with new ideas themselves

6. Why Funology?Lack of self inspirationNo clear idea about engineeringVery less inquisition about scientific concepts

7. Why Study Robotics? Robotics is an excellent way to introduce the students to integrated STEM areas (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics)Students participating in robotics learn about STEM careers and experience the same activities as professionals solving real-world problemsEvery child should get a chance to see how much fun it is learning engineering skills this way!
