Morning Session: Energizing the Mind ?

The day kicked off with a prayer by our Grade 9 girls, followed by a warm welcome from Adhvaitha of Grade 7, who introduced the resource persons. The participants were grouped, and each group was guided by a dedicated resource person. The first set of exercises, led by Saranya, focused on self-discovery—helping students understand their inner power and how to overcome fears. The discussions were lively, with each group presenting their insights on stage.

Hands-on with electricity

Later, Dinesh introduced the exciting world of electric currents, explaining fundamental concepts and giving exercises to solidify understanding. Participants learned about household electricity, types of batteries, and even calculated energy consumption! ⚙️?

Afternoon Session: Powering Up with Practical Skills ⚡?

Post-lunch, the mood was lightened with a fun video and a dance session, before diving back into the practical aspects of electronics. Using materials like LEDs, multimeters, and connecting wires, students explored real-life applications of electric concepts. They tested conductivity, body resistance, and learned the differences between poor and good conductors. The hands-on activities not only deepened their understanding but also made learning incredibly fun!

Outcomes: What We Gained ?

Day 1 of basics of electronics workshop was a remarkable success. Participants discovered their inner values, learned to face their fears, and gained a thorough understanding of electric currents. They didn’t just learn the theory—they lived it! This unique approach to education truly reflects why we are among the **top schools in Salem**. ?✨
