Thought Power- Discovering Our Potential



The first session with our twelve dynamic geniuses at the Tinkering Studio started on 10th October, 2018, with a lot of fervor and delight. Three quarter of an hour of research, planning and sketching helped them to set in motion. Trust me, the outcome of that thinking time was truly remarkable!
Mahek of Grade 6, challenged herself with an innovative idea of making a ‘stationery vending machine’ to be installed  in every classroom, to solve the problem for those who forget to bring their stationery to school for that day. According to Mahek, children's work should not be affected for not getting their stationery supplies to school. They can use the vending machine to derive their supplies by simply inserting the appropriate amount and get their pens, pencils, sketch pens, erasers, etc for the day.



Niharika of grade 5, wants to make a low cost, eco friendly water purifier. She desires to help people in the villages, to consume clean and safe drinking water. Niharika opines that many people travel very far to fetch water. However, they face a definite threat of intaking contaminated water.  In this aspect, the water purifier will help them to store and drink safe drinking water. Virtuous ideas will definitely bring productive results. Proud of you Niharika!

Our students are sensitive to real world problems and they are also steadfast on finding solutions to those problems. There is a lot more excitement coming up to read on about our students' evolving ideas. Till then, keep reading keep growing!

“Design is intelligence made visible.” - Alina Wheeler Encouraging Stem Learning through Design Thinking Activity Grade 6 students recently had an exciting opportunity to apply design thinking skills in a real-world context by designing their own chocolate wrappers. This activity not only promoted creativity and innovation but also integrated Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) learning in a fun and engaging way. Considering the Weight, Name, Nutritional Facts, and Flavor As part of the design thinking process, students had to consider several factors in creating their chocolate wrappers. First, they needed to think about the weight of the chocolate, which would impact the size and design of the wrapper. Second, students had to come up with a catchy name for their chocolate that would appeal to potential customers. Third, they had to include accurate nutritional facts, which required them to apply mathematical skills in calculating the amount of...

  "Give e-waste a second chance, recycle for a sustainable advance!" The term "e-waste" is an abbreviation of "electronic waste". A key part of the definition is the word "waste" and what it logically implies – that the item has no further use and is rejected as useless or excess to the owner in its current condition. Third Graders Turn E-Waste into STEM Learning Robots                   The students of grade 3 recently showcased their innovative spirit and commitment to sustainability by transforming discarded electronics into functional robots. This hands-on project, led by Ms. Reena Fernades and supported by all other grade 3 teachers , provided a unique opportunity for students to explore the principles of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) while learning about the importance of recycling and responsible waste management . The project began with a discussion about the environmental imp...
