ATL Community Day Celebrations @NESSS

Unlocking Collective Wisdom and Empowering Innovators through the Think-Pair-Share Approach

On April 26, 2024, New Era Senior Secondary School radiated with enthusiasm and joy as it celebrated ATL Community Day, showcasing innovation and scientific mindset at its finest. The fervor of over 50 students from Guiding Light Education (Tulsiwadi Hall, Karelibaugh, Vadodara) and Podar School (Chhani, Vadodara), ignited a spirit of collaborative learning, making it a resounding success.

The occasion was graced by the Managing Trustee, Dr. Geetika Madan Patel, who motivated the young minds to believe in their ideas and work hard to bring them to fruition. The school Principal, Mrs. Leena Nair, also highlighted the importance of collaboration and critical thinking among today's youth to bring about a revolutionary change at the grassroots level.

Mr. Krunal Shah, an esteemed ex-Big 4 Consultant, Social Entrepreneur, Leadership Coach, and Storyteller, led an engaging Design Thinking session for all students, igniting creativity and innovation. As a collaborative group activity, students creatively crafted various types of caps from a given sheet of paper, fostering creativity, teamwork and problem-solving skills.

Additionally, during their visit, the students embarked on a tour of the ATAL lab, the Kalam Maker Space, and Avishkar- the Mega Science Exhibition at NESSS. This provided them with a unique hands-on learning experience and valuable insights into the functions of various scientific equipment. They had the privilege of witnessing a diverse range of avant-garde projects and experiments carried out by New Eraites. The students were particularly impressed with the innovative prototypes presented by New Eraites, including the Fog Saver, Khet Jod Yantra, Accident Prevention Truck, and Trash Cleaning Robot. The practical solutions and creativity of the New Eraites were well-appreciated by the students.

The celebration was a resounding success, with attendees providing glowing feedback. This has reinforced NESSS's dedication to fostering innovation and community involvement. Moving forward, NESSS is fully committed to hosting more such events, providing opportunities for young minds to thrive and contribute to the larger community.
