The KTBYTE Robotics Club is a student run program.  It was started in the Summer 2017 by Sidharth (read his student feature here!).  Arthur, one of the earliest TA and instructor has also taught all the KTBYTE robotics classes.  Last year five student who won top awards at regional invention convention were promoted to national competition.  Two of them received national awards. Now, the club has expanded to three levels and are joined by several very talented student instructors like Arthur, Alex, Jonathan and Boyan, all of whom not only teach classes, but also demonstrate leadership skills. Some of them are former club students. The club is a place where everyone gets a chance to grow and showcase their talents.
