She emphasized the lab’s potential in nurturing innovation, curiosity, and future-ready skills.
The newly established Senior Lab is equipped with high-performance desktops featuring webcams, Python programming with key libraries like Pandas, Numpy, and Matplotlib via Visual Studio Code. It also houses AI and machine learning libraries, simulation tools like Tinkercad, LEGO Mindstorms robotic kits, and a wide range of electronic components including soldering equipment, sensors, Arduino Uno boards, multimeters, and motors.
With two fully operational Robotics and AI laboratories now in place, La Martiniere College has reinforced its position as a frontrunner in future-oriented education. The enthusiastic involvement of students and staff at the inauguration reflected a shared commitment to technological advancement and innovation-driven learning.
