Trial and Success





Over time, we have all been taught to make improvements in our lives, following a simple phrase, "Trial and Error". However, I suggest that we should all start using and adapting to a subtly different phrase - "Trial and Success".


Welcome back to cast an eye over the new developments our students are making at the tinker studio.
Amvi Dwivedi of grade eight is mindful of the busy schedule that the working mothers face, day in and out. Therefore, she is trying to make life easier, for those working mothers, having very young babies. She is prototyping a Roller Buggy- Baby Stroller and Scooter Hybrid, that will help moms to manage time for their babies and also have time for themselves. The Roller Buggy is a multi-functional baby carriage transformable into a scooter. Through a simple pull motion of the lower body, it extends the normal baby carriage into a scooter, making a more sportive and faster mode of transportation on various terrains and giving both parties a good time. The transformation to a scooter occurs through a simple pull motion of the lower body and steering is achieved by leaning left and right (skateboard principle). It allows the usage of many different-shaped seats, as well as third party seats, through special-made adaptors.


Kaushik Sivakumar of grade six is working on a model of a high intensity hydraulic jack for a car. This will be a model of a specialty jack, that can be used to lift off-road vehicles.
As the chinese proverb rightly goes , 'A gem cannot be polished without friction, nor a man perfected without trials.' Hence,  our little geniuses, through a number of trials, are steadily advancing to reach their goals.They have a growth mindset, a perspective twist of trial and success, not trial and error.

Read on to find out more, in our upcoming posts, about the new exciting challenges, our students face, while meeting their goals. Till then, keep trying as success is just a step away!

E - Waste To Robots

Image
  "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...

A Chocolicious Story

Image
“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...
