The purpose of Day 2 was threefold:
– To guide participants in connecting with their inner values and overcoming societal judgments.
– To deepen their understanding of electric circuits, resistors, and the practical application of these concepts.
– To get an exposure to kirigami

Morning Session: Exploring Circuits and Inner Strengths ?

The day started with participants grouped and guided by resource persons from Stemland, Auroville. Saranya kicked off the session with exercises that encouraged students to connect with their inner values and rise above judgments. This was followed by a discussion where each group shared their insights on stage.

Dinesh kickstarted the electronics and circuits workshop taking the stage to explain the essential concepts of electric circuits and the function of resistors. Students learned to calculate voltage and current using resistors and LEDs, exploring these concepts hands-on with multimeters, breadboards, and more! The activity was not just about theory; it was about seeing, touching, and feeling the flow of electricity! ⚙️✨

Afternoon Session: Crafting and Circuit Fun ??

The afternoon kicked off with an energizing video and dance session, recharging everyone for more learning. Participants learned to work with seven-segment displays, understanding how to use switches to control the flow of electricity. The fun didn’t stop there! A creative craft session led by Sowndharya introduced the art of kirigami. Students crafted intricate paper balls, enhancing their concentration and creativity. This unique blend of electronics and art not only made the learning experience holistic but also incredibly enjoyable! ?
