Five institution tiers.
One delivery team.
Every lab is scoped to the age group, curriculum board and budget of the institution. The same xBoom team delivers a CBSE tinkering kit at a government school on Monday and a research-grade robotics suite at an engineering college on Tuesday — the kit changes, the rigour doesn't.
Foundation-level tinkering with beginner-friendly drones, block coding, LEGO-style robotics and 3D-design basics. Age-appropriate safety, captive classroom flying net, teacher-led group projects. Aligned with CBSE coding and AI curriculum.
Intermediate drones (Tello EDU class), Arduino / Raspberry Pi / micro:bit stacks, Python programming, embedded electronics and introductory AI. DGCA-pathway-ready pilot training for 16+ students on approved trainer drones.
Industry-aligned drone repair, assembly, maintenance and operator training. Mechatronics workbenches, PLC / SCADA exposure, agri-spray trainer drones. NSDC / Skill India pathway with employability-certified outcomes.
Enterprise-grade platforms — DJI Matrice / Tello EDU swarms, Unitree Go2 EDU quadruped, robotic arms, ROS-ready compute, motion-capture for SLAM research. Thesis-grade outputs, industry consultancy readiness.
NITI Aayog ATL specification kits — IoT, robotics, drones, 3D printing, electronics, meccano. PM SHRI Schools and NEP 2020-compliant vocational streams. Annual content refresh and competition-mentor support included.
Three ways
to configure the lab.
Most institutions start with one of three configurations — a pure Drone Lab, a pure Robotics Lab, or an Integrated STEM Lab that combines both. We help decide based on your footprint, budget, student strength and existing infrastructure.
A dedicated drone lab focused on flying, piloting, simulation and aerial mission design. Covers physics of flight, basic to advanced piloting, simulator training, aerial photography, survey basics and DGCA-certification preparation for senior students.
- Starter drones (DJI Tello EDU, Ryze) + trainer quads
- Enterprise trainer (Mavic 3E / Agras trainer — institution-dependent)
- Indoor captive flight net + charging stations
- Flight simulator workstations (DRL Sim / DJI simulator)
- VR headsets for immersive flight
- Mission-planning software licences (DJI Terra / Pix4D Student)
- DGCA-pathway content for 16+ students
- Competition prep kit (national & state drone championships)
A combined lab that covers drones, ground robotics, fabrication and electronics in a single space. Best when the institution wants one investment that serves multiple grades and multiple project streams. This is the configuration most ATL and PM SHRI schools adopt.
- Starter & intermediate drones + indoor flight net
- Robotics kits — Arduino, Raspberry Pi, micro:bit, LEGO Spike
- Educational robotic arms (6-DOF trainer) + sensors
- Desktop 3D printers (2–4 units) + laser cutter optional

- Advanced electronics, oscilloscopes, bench instruments
- Faculty research consulting + competition mentorship
Also available: agri-drone training lab (for agricultural universities) · defence ISR training (for DPSU-channel institutions) · drone-show & creative lab (for arts / media programmes)
The full stack,
delivered in one box.
Every lab ships with eight work-streams — hardware, fabrication, electronics, software, curriculum, teacher training, safety infrastructure and AMC. Procurement, invoicing and delivery happen through one vendor relationship so you don't chase six suppliers after the tender closes.
Graded kits from toy class to enterprise trainer. Programmable Tello EDU for code-first learning, simulator stations for pre-flight practice, trainer Mavic-class for advanced students.
Arduino, Raspberry Pi, micro:bit and LEGO Spike kits for classroom projects. Educational 6-DOF arms, line-following rovers, sensor kits, and research-grade Unitree Go2 EDU for advanced labs.
Desktop FDM 3D printers for student projects, resin printers for precision parts, optional laser cutters for cases and fixtures. Consumables and filament bundled for first-year supply.
Workbenches with soldering stations, multimeters, oscilloscopes (college-tier), bench PSUs, breadboards, component bins and tool sets. Configured for simultaneous group work without bottlenecks.
Lab laptops or mini-PCs with pre-installed student IDEs, flight simulators, CAD (Fusion 360, TinkerCAD), ROS for college labs, AI/ML toolchains, block-coding platforms for younger grades.
Grade-wise curriculum mapped to CBSE / ICSE / state boards + AICTE model syllabus for colleges. Lesson plans, project briefs, assessment rubrics, student workbooks. Annual refresh as syllabus evolves.
On-site train-the-trainer programme for the lab's teaching staff — typically 5–10 days depending on lab tier. Includes handbooks, online refresher access, WhatsApp / email support line, and quarterly refresher webinars.
Captive flight netting, fire-safety kit, anti-static mats, safety goggles and first-aid station. Annual maintenance contract with on-call support, replacement parts, 12-month workmanship warranty on commissioning.
What students
actually walk away with.
A lab is only as good as what students can build, demonstrate and certify by the time they leave it. Eight concrete outcomes we map every curriculum to — including pathways for national competitions and DGCA certification for senior students.
From their first flight
to DGCA certification by Grade 12.
Our curriculum is built as a ladder — every grade level has a defined entry point, a clear set of projects, and a natural step up to the next level. A student who starts with block-coded drones in Grade 5 has the foundation to build autonomous quadcopters by Grade 11 and earn a DGCA certification in Grade 12 if they choose to.
For colleges, the same progression works backwards — from a first-year introduction to ROS and sensor fusion, through capstone projects with working robotic systems, to industry-ready graduates and research publications. We work with the institution to map the curriculum to existing periods, examinations and internal assessments, not bolt on a parallel timetable.
Six steps.
Typically 6–10 weeks.
From first call to the first class being taught in the new lab — the sequence we take every institution through. Steps can be compressed for urgent rollouts (ATL compliance deadlines, board announcements) or extended for custom research setups.
Free scoping visit to understand goals, student strength, existing infrastructure, board alignment, budget and scheme-eligibility. Output is a one-page fit assessment.
We deliver a design document — lab layout, equipment list with quantities, curriculum mapping to your board, teacher-training plan, safety plan and commercial proposal in one bundle.
Order confirmation, invoicing (GST / GeM / rate contract as required), hardware procurement from OEMs. You prepare the room — flooring, electrical points, network, ventilation — per our site plan.
On-site installation of all hardware, furniture, safety netting, charging stations, software and workstations. Wired, tested, labelled, photographed and handed over against a commissioning report.
5–10 day on-site train-the-trainer programme for your lab staff, a sample first-lesson delivered alongside your teachers, student-side inauguration event with a flying demo.
Year-round AMC with on-call support, consumables replenishment, annual curriculum refresh, competition-prep mentorship, and quarterly refresher webinars. Lab audit report at the end of year one.
Built to tick
every scheme box.
Our lab specifications, curriculum and delivery process are designed to map cleanly onto India's major education and skilling schemes — which matters both for eligibility and for government-scheme funding. Your proposal can be structured for the specific scheme you're pursuing.
Full ATL specification kit — IoT, robotics, drones, 3D printing, electronics, miscellaneous. Lab design, equipment list and documentation prepared against the NITI Aayog ATL sanction guidelines.
Prime Minister Schools for Rising India — our labs map to the NEP-aligned infrastructure, pedagogy and experiential-learning components of the PM SHRI framework. Proposals structured for the scheme's procurement channel.
The National Education Policy 2020 mandates vocational exposure from Grade 6. Our lab curriculum includes drone piloting, robotics assembly, basic electronics and 3D fabrication as ready-to-adopt vocational modules.
For engineering colleges and polytechnics — our college-tier labs and course content are aligned to AICTE's model curriculum for Robotics & AI, Mechatronics and Drone Technology electives.
For ITIs and skill-development centres — drone pilot training, drone repair, drone manufacturing and agricultural drone operator programmes aligned to the NSDC Qualification Packs and Sector Skill Council standards.
Small-drone-category pilot licensing for 18+ students through our DGCA-approved training partner network. Institutions become the feeder pipeline for certified drone pilots entering commercial operations.
For agricultural universities and women's empowerment centres — DJI Agras and VFLYX trainer drones plus spraying-operator curriculum aligned to the NAMO Drone Didi scheme's subsidised drone-for-SHG framework.
State-government schemes — Karnataka KLE, Maharashtra Skill & Entrepreneurship, Telangana T-Works, UP Skill Mission, Tamil Nadu Naan Mudhalvan and more. We help structure proposals for your state's specific scheme.
For institutions funding labs through partner corporations under CSR obligations — we help structure proposals that satisfy both the education outcomes the institution wants and the reporting metrics CSR teams need.
Frequently
asked.
Principal, dean, procurement and board-member questions we hear most often before the first proposal is signed.
What does a lab cost?
Indicative ranges: ATL-spec school lab from ~₹12–25 lakh, integrated STEM lab from ~₹18–45 lakh, engineering-college research lab from ~₹35 lakh to over ₹1 crore depending on platforms. Real number after a site visit and curriculum map — we quote fixed-scope so there are no mid-project surprises.
How long does setup take?
Typical end-to-end rollout is 6–10 weeks from proposal signing to first class taught. Compressed timelines possible for ATL deadlines and scheme-driven urgencies. Civil and electrical readiness on your side is the most common bottleneck.
How much space do we need?
School labs fit in 300–900 sq ft depending on tier. ATL and integrated STEM labs sit comfortably in 500–800 sq ft. College research labs typically need 1,200–2,500 sq ft. We design for partial space if that's all you have and grow the lab in phases.
Do you provide curriculum & teacher training?
Yes — both are bundled. Grade-wise lesson plans, student workbooks, project briefs and assessment rubrics mapped to your board. 5–10 day on-site train-the-trainer programme, refresher webinars quarterly, and a WhatsApp / email helpline for your teachers for the first year.
Who owns the equipment?
You do, outright, from day one of commissioning. We are not a rental model. Some institutions prefer a rent-to-own structure spread over 2–3 years — we can structure that on a case basis.
What happens when equipment breaks?
First-year AMC is bundled — on-call support, replacement parts for consumable failures, same-week replacement for student-damaged equipment at replacement cost. AMC renews annually with scheme-eligible pricing for government institutions.
Can students get DGCA-certified?
Students 18 and above can pursue the DGCA small-drone-category pilot licence through our training-partner network. We help structure this as a senior-year elective or a post-Grade-12 capstone programme. It's a real licence with real employment value.
How do you support competitions?
Our team mentors your students for WRO, FLL, Robocon, ATL Marathon and national drone championships. Competition kits are stocked, project-mentor visits are included in the AMC, and we help with registration and logistics for top-tier events.
