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!

      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

  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.
