In a vibrant showcase of student-led innovation, Bot Expo 2025 was held on August 2 at Dr. Lankapalli Bullayya College. The event brought together more than 5,000+ school students from over 30+ institutions across Visakhapatnam. Organized by P.E.N Schools with technical support from Teckybot, the expo highlighted the impact of hands-on learning and early access to emerging technologies.
Students from Grade 4 to Grade 10 presented practical, real-world technology solutions developed over several weeks of guided mentorship. More than 50 innovative projects were exhibited, covering areas such as robotics, artificial intelligence, drone automation, IoT, and 3D printing. A standout display included a fully functional robotic dog built by students under the guidance of Teckybot’s engineering team.
Learning by Doing: A New Approach to STEM Education
The Bot Expo focused on moving beyond traditional classroom learning. Students engaged in practical workshops and visited themed spaces such as the 3D Printing Zone and the Humanoid Robot Zone. These experiences offered rare exposure to tools and techniques usually available only in advanced labs or industry settings.
Teckybot delivered technical modules to students in the following domains:
- Robotics and Mechatronics
- Internet of Things (IoT)
- Drone Design and Navigation
- 3D Printing and Prototyping
- Embedded Systems
- Artificial Intelligence
This curriculum reflects Teckybot’s mission to bring real-world, industry-aligned education into K-12 classrooms.
Voices from the Expo
Mr. Ravi Eswarapu, CEO of the Andhra University Incubation Hub (a-hub), served as Guest of Honor. He spoke about building a strong startup ecosystem and encouraged students to aim high and embrace innovation.
Dr. G. Madhu Kumar, Correspondent and Secretary of L. Bullayya College, emphasized the need for progressive education and practical exposure to technology at an early stage.
Mrs. Anita Pereira, Chairperson of P.E.N Schools, stressed the importance of integrating STEM learning with ethics, creativity, and holistic development.
Measurable Impact and New Partnerships
- More than 5,000+ students participated from 30+ schools
- Over 50+ student innovations were showcased
- Increased student interest in technology and design careers
- New collaborations formed between schools and startup ecosystems
These results indicate a growing demand for project-based learning environments and greater alignment between education and industry.
Teckybot’s Next Steps
Following the success of the expo, Teckybot announced two major upcoming initiatives:
- Bharat Teck League 2025, a national-level student innovation competition centered around space exploration, to be held in Hyderabad later this year.
- Launch of a Learning Management System (LMS) designed specifically for K-12 STEM education, with a focus on accessibility and scale.
According to Teckybot founder and CEO Nallamilli Venkata Reddy, this is just the beginning of a larger movement.
“We want to create a generation that can build, not just consume. And that starts with giving them the right tools and mentors early,” he said.
Redefining the Future of Education
Bot Expo 2025 is not just an event. It represents a shift toward hands-on, student-centric innovation in Indian education. By empowering young minds with exposure to real-world technologies and mentorship, Teckybot is helping shape a future where students are not only learners but also creators and problem-solvers.
