Project

“Wow! It really feels like we’re underwater! This is amazing! We never did anything like this before.”

“These kids are so creative! They do so much more than just charts and models, like we used to.”

“And they explain everything in English! We never even imagined doing that.”

Every year on August 15, the same scene unfolds at our school. Classrooms fill with student projects. Many former students return to see them. As they walk around, memories of their school days come flooding back.

Our school has held its Independence Day project exhibition since 1952, long before project-based learning became part of the curriculum. Back in the day, only certain grades took part, with projects held every other year. In 2005-06 it became part of the curriculum and since then, every grade has participated in the exhibition every year.

Students explore one broad theme from different angles. They present what they learn, through different forms of expression. Earlier, each class chose its own topic. Now, the entire school works on one common theme. Each class explores a different aspect in depth. One year, a project on the eye led students to explore the idea of “perspective”!

Students use tools like artificial intelligence to research their topics. They also interview experts and learn directly from people working in the field.

The projects keep evolving with the times. Students readily embrace new technologies and creative ways to share their ideas.

These projects help children think together, explore subjects deeply, and present their learning in engaging, visual ways.
