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!

A Peek At Beaks- Little Fingers Create Magic Moments

Image
      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

Image
  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.
