The Edenix Curriculum

Edenix is not just a machine — it is a teaching platform. Ready-to-run lesson plans, worksheets and assessment rubrics across four domains, built for Indian classrooms, skill labs and research programmes.

CLASS 6 – 12 ITI & POLYTECHNIC UG / PG RESEARCH HINDI & GUJARATI

The Hardware Is the Easy Part

Most institutions that buy a robot end up with an expensive display piece. The system arrives, it gets demonstrated twice, and then it sits idle because no teacher has the time to design a term's worth of lessons around it.

We ship the lessons with the machine. Every Edenix installation at an educational institution comes with a structured curriculum a teacher can pick up and run on day one — no robotics background required.

Four Teaching Domains

Each domain can be taught standalone, or combined into a full-semester course

01
⚙️

Hardware

Mechanical & Electrical Engineering

Students take the machine apart conceptually — understanding why each component exists, how motion is produced, and how sensors turn the physical world into numbers.

  • Cartesian motion: 3 axes, stepper motors, belts and leadscrews
  • Structure and materials — why aluminium extrusion, load and deflection
  • Electronics: microcontroller, motor drivers, wiring and power budgets
  • Sensors: soil moisture, camera, limit detection and calibration
  • The tool mount — designing and mounting a custom implement
  • Reading technical drawings and following assembly documentation
10-14lessons Class 8+suggested level
02
💻

Software

Coding, Data & Automation

From dragging blocks in the sequence builder to writing Python that drives real hardware — a progression that works for a Class 7 student and a final-year CS project alike.

  • Sequences and regimens — programming without writing code
  • Variables, loops and conditionals expressed as physical movement
  • Coordinate systems, offsets and why calibration matters
  • Python and JavaScript control libraries; REST API fundamentals
  • Databases and data logging — where sensor readings actually go
  • Computer vision basics: plant detection and image capture
12-16lessons Class 6+suggested level
03
🌱

Farming Science

Agronomy, Soil & Plant Biology

The agricultural half — taught with a machine that makes every variable measurable and every experiment repeatable.

  • Soil composition, structure, pH and nutrient cycles
  • Germination, plant spacing and companion planting logic
  • Irrigation science: drip vs flood, water requirement per crop
  • Indian crop calendars — kharif, rabi and zaid cycles
  • Pest and weed management without chemical inputs
  • Designing a controlled agricultural experiment

04
♻️

Sustainability

Resources, Climate & Systems Thinking

Where the numbers get uncomfortable and interesting — students measure the real resource cost of the food they eat.

  • The water cycle and measured water savings under precision irrigation
  • Energy accounting — running Edenix on solar vs grid power
  • Carbon footprint of food; food miles in the Indian supply chain
  • Composting and closing the nutrient loop
  • Rainwater harvesting integration
  • Lifecycle analysis: what it costs to build the machine itself
8-12lessons Class 7+suggested level

Three Delivery Tracks

The same four domains, pitched at three different levels

🏫

School STEM Labs

Class 6 – 12

Activity-led sessions of 40–60 minutes that fit a standard period. Emphasis on observation, measurement and group work. Pairs naturally with skill-subject and Atal Tinkering Lab programmes.

🔧

ITIs & Polytechnics

Diploma / Skill

Hands-on modules built around maintenance, fault diagnosis, wiring, calibration and tool fabrication — the employable skills, assessed on a practical rubric.

🎓

Universities & KVKs

UG / PG / Research

Capstone project briefs and replicable experiment protocols. Students design trials, collect automated data and publish results — with full API access for custom instrumentation.

Mapped to Indian Frameworks

Every lesson carries its alignment on the header, so the mapping work is already done for your department

Framework How the curriculum aligns Applies to
NEP 2020 Experiential and multidisciplinary learning; vocational exposure from the middle stage; integration of coding and computational thinking with real-world application. All tracks
CBSE / NCERT Cross-links to science, mathematics and the skill-subject syllabi. Per-lesson chapter and code references are filled in by our curriculum reviewer for your board. Class 6 – 12
ICAR Agronomy, soil science and precision-agriculture practicals; experiential learning and rural entrepreneurship components. Agri universities, KVKs
AICTE / UGC Laboratory and capstone project outcomes across mechanical, electronics, computer science and agricultural engineering programmes. Diploma, UG, PG
NSQF Practical competency units suited to skill-level certification in ITIs and polytechnics. ITI, Polytechnic

A note on standard codes

We deliberately do not print specific chapter numbers or competency codes on this page. Boards revise them, and a stale code in a lesson plan is worse than none at all. Instead, every lesson template ships with an alignment block that our curriculum reviewer completes against your board, your syllabus year and your programme outcomes before handover.

If your institution has a specific accreditation requirement — NAAC, NBA, or a state board mapping — tell us at the quote stage and we will supply the mapping document with the system.

Every Lesson, the Same Shape

A teacher who has run one lesson can run any of them

Built on Open Educational Resources

Edenix runs on the FarmBot Genesis platform, and the global FarmBot community has released an extensive library of open educational resources into the public domain under a CC0 dedication. We have drawn on that foundation — as anyone is free to do — and rebuilt it for Indian classrooms: remapped to Indian curricular frameworks, rewritten around Indian crops and growing seasons, translated into Hindi and Gujarati, and re-illustrated with photographs of our own systems in the field.

Attribution and independence

FarmBot is a trademark of FarmBot Inc. Kalp Yantra is an independent company and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by FarmBot Inc. Our curriculum materials are produced independently and any errors in them are ours alone.

We think this is worth saying plainly rather than hiding: standing on open foundations is how good engineering education works. It also means your institution is not locked into a single vendor's teaching material.
