From Concept To Creation

As the proverb goes, ‘The journey of a thousand miles begins with one small step.’ So it is with our enthusiastic students, who  took their first step to commence the initial stage of prototyping at the tinker studio. It was a captivating sight to see them engaged in thinking and putting efforts, to turn their thoughts to reality.
Jessica Jitu and Earl D'souza, currently  studying in grade nine are collaboratively working to create a pair of shoes, that can convert mechanical energy to electrical energy. After a lot of brainstorming and  research, they are now working on transforming their imagery of a concept, into physical existence.
Jishnu Prasanth Pillai is trying to make a Morse Code Machine. In this video,
we can see him sharing his views about his creation.


 Rajeshkumar Selvanayagam of grade seven is prototyping a candy vending machine for people of all ages, to get access to candies, wherever and whenever they want them. Be it a mall, theatre or a street.
Even the longest and most difficult ventures, have a starting point. Hence, our students have offered to lead and commit themselves to put their best foot forward in order to identify the essential needs of our ever changing society and find distinct solutions to tackle the worldly concerns. This, they believe, will make our planet, the best place to live on.

      Everybody likes a good comeback story and this time we are back with a bang!   As truly said by Barack Obama, “ We remember, we rebuild and we come back stronger "   We are glad to let you know how strong we have grown. Opening the gambit with the vision to excel has been the trend for us Mayoorites. Hence this time, we came up with a different initiative to create magic with paper circuits. Let me introduce you to yet another unique interesting enterprise taken by our students along with their zealous teachers.                 ‘A Peek At Beaks’ - Fun With Popsicle Flashlights - Grade 3                                                                Paper circuits is an activity with simple, easily sourceable materials that engages learners with basic circuitry. The main idea behind the  ‘Paper Circuits’ activity was to instill innovation and creativity among the students. With an integrated approach in mind and a clea

Great Minds At Work

  In the words of John Mc Donald, “ There must be a positive and negative in everything in the universe in order to complete a circuit or circle, without which there would be no activity, no motion” Electric things are so much part of our lives!  Gaining a current understanding of how electricity works and what it does is vital life learning.  Our emerging and investigative engineers of grade 6 were immensely engaged in learning the same, through a few interactive projects based on circuits. .  Our budding engineers  learnt the basics of building a series and parallel circuits.  By  the end of the activity they gained immense practical knowledge on LEDs, batteries, resistors, switches, board wiring,and spin circuits. The main activity  was to learn about  the difference between the two (series has one path for the electricity to flow, whereas parallel has two or more paths).Students also had to be able to use their analytical skills to determine if the light bulbs would glow or not. If

Jubilating Innovation Week

  The famous philosopher rightly quoted “ The secret of change is to focus all of your energy, not on fighting the old, but building on the new.“ To foster this idea an Innovation week was organised in Mayoor Private School.   It kicked off from 16th January to 20th January 2023. to boost creativity, innovation, leadership, entrepreneurship, marketing  advertising and entrepreneurship among the students. Students from kindergarten to grade 11 were given different activities to explore and execute. The activities included, jewellery making, photo frame making, bubble machine making, card board games, circuit games, games developed using coding on any platform, games developed using robotics, items like bookmarks, bags, cards, etc were made. Let’s take a look at the skills displayed by them during this process of making.
