June Highlights: Hexapods, Happy Minds & the 80/20 Edge

Hey readers, June has been a month of building bold—and building smart. From 7-year-olds assembling robots to college students designing multifunctional hexapods, we’ve seen learning turn into doing across all age groups. With Success Frameworks, Growth Principles, and hands-on tech journeys, this edition celebrates not just what kids are learning—but how they’re thinking, leading, and creating with purpose. 🛠️ Can Teenagers Build Real Tech? – A college hardware project proves they can—with a smart hexapod in action. 💡 Spotlight: Siddhesh – From intern to innovator, how one  college student led real change at 10xTC. 🧠 Bytes of Tomorrow – AI meets archaeology and reshapes how we understand ancient civilizations. 🎯 Mindset Matters – The 80/20 rule: doing less, achieving more. 🚀 Raising Innovators – How Success Frameworks & Growth Principles build future-ready learners. 🎥 Movie, Book & Report Picks – Curated media to spark minds and fuel discovery.   Let’s fuel curiosity, spark courage, and raise a generation that builds what others only imagine. Let’s dive in! Inside 10xTC June Edition: Building Future-Ready Tech Innovators at 10xTechClub   At 10xTechClub, we don’t just teach tech—we shape thinkers, creators, and problem-solvers. This month, we’re excited to share three major milestones: Let’s dive in!   New Batches Launched: More Opportunities for Young Innovators This June, we’ve expanded our programs to accelerate tech learning for students at different levels: 🔹 Junior Tech Innovator Program (JTIP) – Cohort 5 For ages 7–12, this program introduces kids to coding, robotics, and AI through hands-on projects. 🔹 JTIP Fast Track – 2 Batches A condensed, high-intensity version of JTIP for students who want to learn faster and go deeper. 🔹 Premium Accelerator Program (PAP) – Cohort 4 For ages 12–17, PAP takes students into advanced robotics, IoT, 3D printing, and AI—preparing them for real-world tech challenges.   Why This Matters? Most schools teach tech in theory. At 10xTechClub, students build, break, and innovate—gaining skills that matter in the real world.   PAP Workshop: Mastering Computers & the Internet Before students can create tomorrow’s technology, they need to understand today’s tools. In a recent workshop, our PAP students explored the basics of how computers and the internet work. Here’s what they learned: The Journey of Computers – From old machines to modern smart tech. What’s Inside a Computer – The roles of hardware and software. What Makes It Run – How operating systems like Windows or macOS manage tasks. The Internet Story – How we went from early networks to today’s 5G world. Search & Safety Online – How Google finds answers, and why privacy matters.   What made it exciting? Students didn’t just listen—they tried it all out. They tested tools, explored how websites load, and learned how data travels. It was a hands-on learning experience that sparked curiosity and confidence!   Mentoring a College Student’s Multifunctional Hexapod Project At 10xTechClub, learning isn’t limited to school students. We also mentor college innovators tackling real-world challenges.   The Project: A Smart Hexapod Robot Built by Atharv Chougule and team (VIT College, Pune) Functions: Obstacle detection, terrain mapping, remote control Tech Used: Robotics, IoT, 3D Printing, Python Learn more about hexapod in action   Why This Matters? Shows how tech skills translate into real-world projects Strong Industry Academia collaboration builds innovation ecosystem for Bharat.   What’s Next? 10xTC PAP Cohort 2 Shark Tank PAP Hybrid program pilot launch More workshops  Protothon for JTIP students, to showcase their learnings.   To Parents: The world is changing fast. Will your child be a consumer of tech… or a creator of it? At 10xTechClub, we’re not just teaching skills—we’re building the next generation of innovators. Enroll Now & Secure Your Child’s Future in Tech! Stay tuned for more updates. The future isn’t waiting—and neither are we!    #10xTechClub #FutureReadyKids #TechEducation #STEM #Innovation #ParentingInDigitalAge Spotlight Spotlight: Siddhesh Patil’s Intern Journey at 10xTechClub   Siddhesh’s journey at 10xTechClub is more than just an internship—it’s a blueprint for what’s possible when young minds are given real responsibilities and room to grow. From redesigning hands-on tech modules to stepping into strategy discussions, he experienced the full spectrum of what it means to learn by building. As a first-year college student, he wasn’t afraid to ask questions, take initiative, or step into the unknown. His story reflects the very culture we’re building at 10xTC—where curiosity beats credentials, and action trumps theory. In our latest blog, we dive deeper into the behind-the-scenes of his experience: the challenges he faced, the moments that shaped his mindset, and the wins that made it all worthwhile. You’ll read about his transformation from intern to innovator, and how his contributions helped shape our tech programs and team thinking. It’s an inspiring example for students, parents, and educators alike—proof that early exposure to real work can accelerate clarity, capability, and confidence. If you’ve ever wondered what meaningful internships should look like, this blog is a must-read. 🔗 Read more ­ Bytes of Tomorrow 🧠 AI Meets Ancient Worlds: A New Era of Discovery Artificial Intelligence is not just shaping the future—it’s also helping us rediscover the past in ways never imagined before. In a groundbreaking shift, AI is now being used to decode some of the world’s most enigmatic archaeological mysteries. From tracing the geometric precision of the Nazca Lines in Peru to interpreting the still-untranslated scripts of the Indus Valley Civilization, machines are lending their computational power to uncover what human eyes and minds alone couldn’t crack for decades. These tools are enabling archaeologists to analyze massive datasets, spot patterns invisible to the naked eye, and even recreate lost languages and cultural narratives with remarkable accuracy.  The blend of ancient history and modern technology is opening doors to a new era of understanding—where timelines are reconstructed, artifacts are reinterpreted, and human stories are brought back to life. As students and tech enthusiasts, this is a powerful reminder that innovation doesn’t always mean looking forward—sometimes, it means looking deeper. By bridging history and emerging tech, we not only honor human legacy but also inspire the next generation to think critically, work across disciplines, and see tech as a tool to preserve what matters. 🔗 Read more ­ Mindset Matters: #6 The 80/20 Rule Does your child spend hours studying but still struggle with results? Or maybe they juggle multiple activities but don’t seem to excel in any?  The secret isn’t working harder—it’s working smarter! The 80/20 Rule (Pareto Principle) helps kids focus on what truly matters to get maximum results with minimum effort.  This is a common concern for many parents in today’s hypercompetitive world, where effort doesn’t always translate into outcomes.  That’s where the 80/20 Rule, also known as the Pareto Principle, comes in.  This powerful mindset tool teaches kids (and adults!) to identify and focus on the 20% of actions that lead to 80% of results—be it in academics, sports, or personal development. When applied well, it helps students prioritize better, eliminate distractions, and learn how to manage their time with intention. It’s not about doing everything—it’s about doing what actually moves the needle. At 10xTechClub, we’re using this principle to help students and parents rethink how they approach learning and achievement. Want to know how?
