The STEM Makers – Best Robotics and Coding Classes for Kids in Vijayawada
The STEM Makers, founded by Ms. Asha Kranthi, is the top destination for Robotics and Coding classes for kids aged 5 to 15 years in Vijayawada.
At The STEM Makers, we believe in the “learning by doing” approach. Our structured Robotics workshops and Coding training programs are conducted every month, during school holidays, and throughout the summer vacation.
We also train and mentor teams to participate in national and international Robotics competitions. In 2024, our team proudly secured 2nd place in the Aavishkaar Robotics South Zone Tournament and qualified for the Nationals. In January 2025, our students showcased their skills at Techfest, IIT Mumbai, winning accolades and making us proud!
Why Choose The STEM Makers?
- Convenient Location: Our Robotics training center is located at Veenus Tower, Tikkle Road, opposite DV Manor Hotel, making it easily accessible from all parts of Vijayawada.
- World-Class Kits: We use advanced Robotics kits from VEX IQ, Aavishkaar, and Blix, catering to students across all age groups and skill levels.
- Exclusive Robotics Arena: Our center features a 6 ft x 8 ft Robotics Arena, where kids can practice, test, and perfect their robot creations.
What is The STEM Makers ?
Current curriculum is based on rote learning where students learn subjects in the format – this is the question, this is the formula and this is the answer. Design is not a linear process like this. Design involves understanding the requirements and constraints and coming up with a solution that best fits the above. The multidimensional thinking needed for design process is not imparted in a rote learning based curriculum. At The STEM Makers, we wish to address this using Mechanical Assembly, Robotics, Programming activities to develop multidimensional thinking among students.
Our curriculum based on cognitive pedagogy model is designed to fulfill the 3 principles.
1. Nothing is outside syllabus
2. Inculcating open/growth mindset, learning being adaptive
3. Learning to work in ambiguity

Our Flagship Programs

We believe that every child should learn to code! Our Python Programming course is designed to make coding fun, engaging, and accessible for beginners and advanced learners alike.

Presented by the Robotics Education and Competition Foundation (RECF), the VEX IQ Robotics Program offers exciting, hands-on robotics challenges for elementary and middle school students, enhancing their STEM skills through student-centered learning.

Join Asia’s biggest innovation platform, the Avishkaar League, with thousands of young innovators competing in Robotics and Coding challenges each year.

What is STEM Education?
The Makers are the followers of maker culture which represents a technology-based extension of DIY culture that revels in the creation of new devices and products as well as tinkering with existing ones. The maker culture in general supports open-source hardware and it refers to the world through modern, sustainable manufacturing and industrialization.
Indian Education System has been plagued with Rote Learning for countless number of years. The tremendous focus, on memorization of factual information, completely kills the creativity and original thinking which is bound to blossom in the minds of our children.
The Higher Order Thinking Skills like Critical Thinking, Problem Solving, Innovation (all prerequisites for a knowledge society) are mostly sidelined for memorization of theorems, mathematical tables, historical facts etc. This has systemically led to the decay of culture of excellence and originality in our country. Further, when these children end up growing into adults – they lack both behavioral and technical skills to prosper in the world of today and tomorrow.
This lack, of key skills, essentially leads to most of the problems present in our society (like unemployment, stress, violence). There have been welcome changes like introduction of CCE in our schooling system. The society as a whole is also embracing change, however, a lot more needs to be done.
With this thought as our driving force, we have been conducting the IRC League – a league that aims to celebrate Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) and make innovation an area of passion for the young minds of the developing world.
Vision of IRC League
The League aims to become a source of inspiration and motivation for young minds to consciously take up careers in the domains of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) with a clear aim to innovate and thereby shape the future.
The league shall capture the attention of young minds by giving them problems and challenges that not only stretch their imagination but also are burning issues.

What Parents Are Saying About The STEM Makers
“My kid took the Python online class with Ms. Asha. Her teaching methods are really effective, and right to the point. She was extremely helpful with any questions or topics that my daughter had a hard time understanding. I would definitely recommend this class to anyone who is interested in python for their kids, whether as a beginner or with experience in coding.”
Python student during his 9th, 10th grade. Ms. Usha, parent of Resmitha Akhila SreeMy kids have been enjoying this activity right from the outset for the past one year. Asha let's the kids do the assembly and coding, while observing them and guiding them gently whenever they do a mistake or a better and easier approach is possible.
Lokesh grade 3 & Jayadev Grade 2. Nalini , parent of Lokesh
“ Not only is Asha exceptionally knowledgeable but she is incredibly patient when going through the material, which is not easy, but she makes it palatable, dare I say fun. Asha took the time to work with my son, even taking him through pseudocode, when need arose, for the material to sink in. I highly recommend Python Programming course with Asha to anyone who is interested in programming for their kids ”
