Our Glowing World


“You have to find what sparks a light in you, so that you, in your own way, can illuminate the world.” - Oprah Winfrey.

Keeping this inspirational quote  in mind, the students of Grade 2 used their tinkering skills to light up and create a glowing world around them.

Learning is not restricted to any single channel, the students incorporated a variety of cross curricular learning through this activity. Initially, they  were encouraged to  research various animals and plants that have the characteristics to glow naturally. Science surely makes this possible, so with the help of paper circuits the students created their glowing world. They also linked their creation with the various tense verbs they learnt during their English classes. Students were also fascinated learning the origami technique of making fireflies. 

After days of  rigorous hard work and determination, these students were finally able to make their world glow. Let’s take a closer look at the reviews from the students and the teacher herself through the following videos to get a better idea about the activity.

“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...
