Georgetown: Every day persons are experiencing new disruptions that changes career path, therefore the next generation will have to adjust in order to create their own pathway to success; as such STARR Computer launched its Innovation Centre.
The technology building located on Brickdam, Georgetown was also recently refurbished with a futuristic outlook that aims to promote modern educational development starting with robotic toys to modern classroom solutions.
The centre is open to the public and aims to fast-forward learning through the use of various electronic technologies.
Under the theme “Today’s children are tomorrow’s future,” President of STARR Computer Mike Mohan said technology is changing the way persons work, live and play.
“As we enter the age of Robotisation, greater focus should be on our children’s educational development, our Innovation Centre, with the help of our International partners will be focused on modern educational development starting with robotic toys through our Kids Discovery department to Modern classroom solutions,” he told the media at a recent launch.
Adding that education is an ongoing process, Mr. Mohan said the educational system needs to be enhanced from teaching students to just learning how to remember facts and figures to learning problem solving, logics and critical thinking.
“It is important for them to learn to learn as learning is an ongoing process. Every child will need to have a mobile device which can help them interact with educational contents instantly. Augmented Reality will become a way of life in the future. And, at a very young age, they will have to learn coding to better understand the functioning of the devices around them,” Mohan explained.
He said with an emerging Oil and Gas economy, to fast forward learning, modern classroom will be needed to allow each child to interact with their teachers and communicate with a shared electronic white board using a wide range of mobile devices across multiple operating system platform.
“STARR has integrated technologies from various Manufactures including Samsung, Lenovo, Epson to develop its own Modern classroom solution. Teachers can now connect with up to 50 students simultaneously in a classroom into a virtual learning process,” he noted.
This system, Mohan said allows the result of exams to be shared instantly with administrators and parents.
And with a stable and high speed Internet connection, he said teachers can conduct classes to multiple locations at the same time.
Noting that the Innovation Centre also showcases the introduction of disruptive technologies, he said the current Robotic Vacuum cleaner at the innovation center will be extended to humanoid robots.
“Dr Albert Einstein, a robotic doll already responds to questions via the wireless Internet. The Hologram 3D displays images of brands and products in an eye-catching experience. Recreational Drones on display can be upgraded to agricultural, search and rescue, and, deliverable drones,” Mohan said of the items on display.
In the near future, he said that STARR will be showcasing an Industrial drone for the agricultural sector on their newly built Observation Deck.
He said that the recreational 3D Printer on display will open the imagination for manufacturers.
“Today, 3D printers are used to produce low income homes. Many Technology Partners have teamed up with STARR COMPUTER to showcase their future roadmap in the STARR Innovation Centre. From Business Solutions, Retail Management, Laser Projection, Security Solutions, Power Management and Education, the Innovation Centre will feature the future of cutting-edge technology,” he added.
In 2019 STARR has successfully partnered with companies such as Hewlett Packard, APC, Epson, ELO, Bematec, Honeywell, HikVision and Star Micronics to conduct seminars\workshops on emerging technologies at the Innovation Centre.
