Camille’s Academy to introduce international certificate programme for robotics, coding, AI

– as school signs MOU with RoboChamps India

Camille’s Academy Inc (CAI) is set to benefit from an internationally recognised curriculum and certification programme, courtesy of RoboChamps.
The academy in Guyana recently signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with RoboChamps India (RoboChamps.in), a globally recognised training company that helps establish dynamic robotics and artificial intelligence (AI) labs for schools worldwide.

Under this new partnership, a group of Guyanese students will receive world-class training in robotics, coding, AI and drone technology. The MoU was signed at Oxford University during the World School Summit UK held on June 28. Dr Camille Deokie-Gorakh, Academic Director of Camille’s Academy, attended the Summit and met with representatives of RoboChamps India. During the event, CAI was commended for promoting holistic education in Guyana and was one of fifty awardees worldwide, representing Caribbean schools for innovation in education.
According to the Principal, the collaboration will introduce robotics training for Grades 4–11, an introduction to coding and programming, AI education, and drone technology into the curriculum. Dr Deokie-Gorakh expressed excitement about the partnership, noting Guyana’s readiness for this advancement.
“We are very excited to announce that we are bringing this curriculum to Guyana. It is globally recognised; RoboChamps India even holds a Guinness World Record for hosting the largest robotics classroom.”
She also emphasised that this programme represents the future of education and innovation. “We are preparing our students for the future, where workspaces and organisations will rely heavily on artificial intelligence and other technologies. We can’t run from it—we must prepare them, or they will be left behind.”
The rollout begins soon. This July and August, RoboChamps India will train CAI’s teaching staff in robotics, AI, and drone technology. After two months of intensive preparation, the courses will be offered to students at four CAI locations beginning in September. Several courses will be piloted during the school’s annual summer camp programs in July and August.
Dr Deokie-Gorakh also announced that RoboChamps India will establish a state-of-the-art robotics lab on CAI’s campus in September: “RoboChamps India will build and equip the lab. We will only provide the space.”
RoboChamps India is trusted by over 100 schools in India, has impacted more than 200,000 students, and expanded into 10+ countries with custom robotics and AI labs. During the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, the edtech startup launched online courses in robotics and coding available in Hindi, Gujarati, Punjabi and English.
The initiative also provided free courses to children aged 6–17 in rural areas. RoboChamps quickly received 3 million visits within a month of launching its English courses, and demand for its vernacular programmes continues to grow, especially in Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities across India.
