Course outline

Individual Projects

Robotics

This includes basic robotics concept which is a combination of mechanical, electrical, electronics and computer sciences and deals with construction and designing of many helpful things that make human life easier, safer and faster. Students will learn the use of simple microcontroller (arduino) and make circuits such as traffic signal and LED blinking.

Two Wheel Robot

It’s always been interesting for student to design their own vehicle or robot, student will learn in groups to make their own two wheel robot that can be made from simple things and can be controlled wirelessly or by RF remote control system.

Tesla Coil

Tesla coil is an interesting experiment to learn about the generation, induction and transformation phenomenon of electricity. It can be made easily by using simple things and is used for wireless conduction of electricity.

Wind Turbine

As the world is now moving towards alternative and clean energy resources, one of which is wind energy. It can be transformed into various forms of energy by different methods and wind turbine is one of the best methods to transform wind energy into electrical energy. A group of students will make an efficient wind turbine by considering designing all parts e.g. blades, tail etc. by themselves.

Water Rocket

A water rocket is a type of model rocket and is made by the used plastic bottles and ordinary household items. It is an interesting project to explain the working and aerodynamics of a rocket, use of pressurized air and significance of projectile motion. Students will be given to hit the target by their rocket.

Three Layer Holograph

Hologram is a physical object that uses principles of reflection and refraction into a 3D image. The image that appears to be an illuminated object can be seen normally and indistinguishable from actual object. The three layer holograph can be made by using simple CD case to see the working of different phenomenon of light.

Alternating Current AC Generator

Generation of electricity has been an important phenomenon since a very long time. Alternating current generator or dynamo is a device used to convert mechanical energy into electrical energy. With the help of AC generator, the fundamental principles, construction and working of generator can be explained.

Mental Maths; 6-9 years (10-11am) and 10-15years (11-12:30) Mondays and Tuesdays May 23- June 21

Ms Summaiya to conduct mental maths using Abacus. Here is what she thinks about mental maths: Mathematics is not about numbers , equations, formulas or algorithms. Its about understanding and the mathematical concepts are taught. Good teachers can make the student fell deeply in love with the subject.

It all depends on how the mathematical concepts are taught and for the teacher should know very well what she/he is teaching. She should be approachable and should be enthusiastic. For a good teacher,teaching should not only be a profession for him/her but it should be a passion. I found while teaching abacus and tutoring math, my students were always motivated and keen to learn.

Yoga for Ladies and Yoga for Girls

A water rocket is a type of model rocket and is made by the used plastic bottles and ordinary household items. It is an interesting project to explain the working and aerodynamics of a rocket, use of pressurized air and significance of projectile motion.

DC Motor

How different forms of energy can be converted into one another, DC motor is one of the answers. It is used to convert electrical energy into mechanical energy and is used in many applications e.g. toys, household application and in industries also.

Holograph

Hologram is a physical object that uses principles of reflection and refraction into a 3D image. The image that appears to be an illuminated object can be seen normally and indistinguishable from actual object.

Tall Tower

Tall tower activity is an interesting structural and designing based learning for students. Kids will have to design such a tower with the help of material provide that can hold weight of a tennis ball up to 2 minutes.09

Group Projects

Hover Craft

Hover craft is an interesting project which is used to teach the students about air pressure and friction between surfaces. Target will be given to students to work in a team and make a hovercraft that is able to lift weight of at least one student.

Hand Power Electric Generator

Generation of electricity has been an important phenomenon since a very long time. With the help of hand power generator, the fundamental principles, construction and working of generator can be explained.

Building Bridge Competition

It is basically a civil engineering project. Building of bridge from Popsicle sticks is a worth learning project for students to understand the rules of mechanics, force distribution, effect and significance of structures in construction. The competition is based on the efficiency of the bridge i.e. weight lift by the bridge.

Solar Car

Solar energy is one of the renewable resources of energy and is commonly used in all parts of the world for many purposes; solar car is basically the idea of non-fossil fuel car. Student will work as a team of engineers in this group project which will help them to learn about the construction and working principle of all parts of a vehicle.
