Tinkering Studio - Learning spaces for innovative minds

  “The best way to predict the future is to create it.” – Peter Drucker Our Grade 8 students brought this idea to life with their exciting project, classifying images using the Machine Learning for Kids platform . They trained a model with images of fruits—apples, bananas, and oranges—collecting and labeling the images to teach the AI. The model even displayed confidence percentages , showing how sure it was about each prediction. The students then took their project a step further by integrating the trained model into MIT App Inventor , creating an interactive app that allows users to see AI in action in real time. This process gave them hands-on experience with both AI concepts and app development, demonstrating how models can learn from data and make real-world decisions. As AI is an integral part of our lives , learning how to work with it is essential for the future. Our students are not just learning theory—they are actively implementing AI through hands-on projects. By expl...

  Makers Marvel: Celebrating Innovation The Makers Marvel - 2025 event brought together the creativity, curiosity, and innovative spirit of students from Grades 6 to 8 as they proudly showcased their exciting STEM- and AI-integrated projects. The exhibition served as a vibrant platform where young innovators demonstrated their skills through hands-on models, interactive displays, and thoughtful explanations of their work. This year’s showcase featured an impressive range of student-built projects, including an Arduino-based Radar System , an AI-powered Tiny Sorter , a Lucky Wheel designed with the Adafruit Circuit Playground Express , an Automatic Plant Watering System , an Automatic Toll Gate , and Smart Street Lights that demonstrated energy-efficient automation. Each project reflected dedicated effort, deep understanding, and the ability to connect classroom learning with real-world applications. Parents and the school community explored every booth with enthusiasm, engaging ...

The College of Engineering at Abu Dhabi University organized the 5th Annual COE STEM Programming with AI Competition 2025 , an inspiring event that brought together some of the brightest young minds from across the UAE. This year, the theme of the competition was Artificial Intelligence , encouraging students to explore how AI can be applied to understand, analyse, and solve real-world challenges through creativity, innovation, and responsible use of technology. A major highlight of this prestigious event was the AI-Powered Problem-Solving Challenge , where participants were required to solve a real-life problem within a 3-hour timeframe using modern AI tools, logical reasoning, and advanced programming techniques. This high-energy challenge tested not only the students’ technical knowledge but also their ability to think critically under pressure. We are immensely proud to announce that five students from Grade 11 represented Mayoor Private School with great enthusiasm and determina...

  Temperature is everywhere — in the classroom, in the kitchen, and in the lab — but converting between Celsius, Fahrenheit, and Kelvin can sometimes be confusing. To make those conversions instant and visible, Grade 6 students of Mayoor Private School - Ryan Veera Kumar, Vasudev Subhash, Jared Aneesh Grigary -  designed The Universal Thermometer , a compact Arduino-based device that measures temperature and displays it simultaneously in °C, °F and K . Using a DS18B20 temperature sensor connected to an Arduino and an I²C LCD, the students programmed the system to read ambient temperature in Celsius, calculate the equivalent Fahrenheit and Kelvin values, and show all three readings on the LCD screen. The result is a handy, real-world tool for quick classroom demonstrations, experiments, and everyday curiosity — for example, converting 30°C to Fahrenheit at the press of a button. The project also highlighted how closely temperature ties into mathematics. The team used simple...

  In today's rapidly evolving world, the importance of equipping students with innovative skills cannot be overstated. As Alan Kay famously said, "The best way to predict the future is to invent it." This mindset is at the core of May Private School’s efforts to integrate technology and innovation into their curriculum, preparing students to shape their own futures. The Intel Skills for Innovation program at Mayoor  Private School in Abu Dhabi exemplifies a transformative approach to integrating technology within educational settings, emphasizing empowerment, innovation, and interdisciplinary application. Led by three dedicated master trainers—Miss Smita Dhanke,  Miss Greeshma Nair and Miss Roshna Hameed. The initiative involved comprehensive training of teachers through Intel certification, coupled with strategic planning to surmount implementation challenges, all meticulously monitored via timeline sheets to track individual progress. The program innovatively incorporat...

  Have you ever wondered how movies, cartoons, and video games bring characters to life? At Mayoor Private School, our students are taking their first steps into the exciting world of 3D animation using Blender, a professional animation software. By learning how to move objects, design shapes, and create simple animations, they are discovering how imagination can be turned into reality on screen. Blender offers endless possibilities for creativity, and even beginners can design animations they feel proud of. Through this journey, students not only explore technology but also learn valuable skills like creativity,patience, and problem-solving. Jevon Joji, a student of Grade 7A3 at Mayoor Private School, shares: "At first, Blender seemed complicated, but once I started experimenting, I understood how things worked.Watching my ideas come alive was both challenging and rewarding. I’m proud of what I’ve created, and this has taught me that with patience, anything is possible." By ...
