At PSBB Senior Secondary School in Nungambakkam, the institution’s eleventh graders were donning the organiser’s hat, having curated an interdisciplinary event for students of schools across Chennai.
It was a science fest. And it turned out to be a feast for young minds.
On April 12 at PSBB Senior Secondary School in Nungambakkam, the institution’s eleventh graders were donning the organiser’s hat, having curated an interdisciplinary event for students of schools across Chennai.
They were pulling innovations out of that hat.
Students could pen science-themed poetry. Students could create mixed-media posters on science inherent in quotidian, everyday situations.
In short, the event marked an endearing departure from traditional learning methods.
The students of PSBB merged science seamlessly with art, making it accessible and relatable to all participants. Organising events like ‘Obstacle Race’ to solve a puzzle, ‘In a Nutshell’ that motivates students to use science practically, and the intellectual challenge of ‘Court Marshall’ had a queue of participants.
“These activities help them learn better. They might not remember what they learnt in a traditional classroom, but what they learnt in events like these becomes a lifetime learning experience,” remarked Vasanthi.S, principal of PSBB Sr. Sec. School.
