Tinkering Studio - Learning spaces for innovative minds

  Even though we utilize technology on a daily basis, have you ever wondered how it all works? At ‘Bits & Bytes’ student led club, we provide illustrations for everything . Our group offers significant learning opportunities as well as enjoyable activities. The open-source electronics platform Arduino is built on user-friendly hardware and software. Students can comprehend how this platform is used in our daily lives by learning more about it through practical activities.  Participating in the Bits & Bytes Club of Grades 10 to 12 equips students with vital skills that will benefit them in the future. This club fosters creativity, critical thinking, and problem-solving abilities, which are essential for success.  Moreover, it provides students with a comprehensive understanding of technology and its potential to bring about transformative changes in society. It also explains how technology may be both beneficial and detrimental at different times. Here is a glimpse of  our club:

  "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 impact of e-waste

  “Design is one of the few disciplines that is a science as well as an art. Effective, meaningful design requires intellectual, rational rigor along with the ability to elicit emotions and beliefs. Thus, designers must balance both the logic and lyricism of humanity every time they design something, a task that requires a singularly mysterious skill.”  — Debbie Millman, How to Think Like a Great Graphic Designer Third Graders Design Imaginary Planets: A STEM Learning Adventure Third-grade students were given an opportunity to embark on an exciting STEM learning adventure, designing their own imaginary planets. This imaginative project encouraged them to think critically about the essential elements that make a planet habitable, while also fostering their creativity and problem-solving skills. The students were tasked with considering the size, composition, atmosphere, and potential life forms of their planets. They researched real-world planets

“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

  Creativity is seeing what others see and thinking what no one else ever thought . - Albert Einstein. Discover the electric wheelchair designed by Jiyaan Shah of grade 5 to revolutionize mobility for individuals with disabilities. Jiyaan Shah designed a groundbreaking gadget called the Twothi Seat 2000, specifically tailored to assist visually challenged individuals in navigating independently. This innovative device boasts numerous features aimed at enhancing the user’s mobility and overall experience. The student began the design process using Tinkercad, a popular 3D modeling software, to create a virtual prototype of the Twothi Seat 2001. After finalizing the design, the student proceeded to construct a working model of the gadget, showcasing its functionality and potential impact on improving the lives of visually impaired individuals. This wheelchair embodies innovation, compassion, and sustainability, aiming to empower users and improve their quality of life.It addresses challe

  The only way forward, if we are going to improve the quality of the environment, is to get everybody involved.   – Richard Rogers Introducing the next evolution in home cleaning technology, our innovative vacuum cleaner that not only effortlessly detects obstacles but also adapts its path accordingly. Say goodbye to constant interruptions and hello to a seamlessly efficient cleaning experience.  In a remarkable display of creativity and ingenuity, a group of students recently unveiled a groundbreaking project where they designed a robot entirely constructed from waste materials. This innovative creation not only effortlessly detects obstacles in its path but also possesses the remarkable ability to adapt its trajectory accordingly.  Our vacuum cleaner goes above and beyond by incorporating a revolutionary thrash system that intelligently segregates wet waste from dry waste. This not only simplifies the disposal process but also contributes to a more sustainable lifestyle by reducing
