Textbooks and traditional classroom teaching methods no longer serve knowledge and logic development among children. Gone are the days when textbooks where enough to teach and clarify their concepts. Practical knowledge and minute understanding of the concept is what students of the new age seek from institutions.
Promoting real time learning experience among students, Global Indian International School Noida regularly conducts STEM classes for students from grade 3 – 9. As a part of their curriculum, every student gets an opportunity to understand the concept by practically carrying out experiments on Science, and Robotics and its applications.
Testing brainstorming abilities and knowledge gained through STEM classes, an inter-GIIS STEM quiz competition was conducted for grades 3-9. Students from GIIS Bangalore, Noida, Ahmedabad, Indore, and Surat participated in the quiz hosted by Entecres Lab officials at the Noida campus.
Seniors and Juniors Team from all the five campuses actively participated in the quiz held via video conferencing. To begin with, Junior’s teams from all the campuses were asked questions based on their curriculum and knowledge. There were four rounds in total. Each round was based on separate themes and markings. The first round was a generic round consisting a total of 10 questions. Each team had to answer two questions for the first round. Rapid fire and Unscrambling the word were the next two rounds. Each team had to answer a set of 5 questions in about 30 secs, and make a meaningful word from the given jumbled up alphabets respectively. The last round was an audio visual round. Students had to answer a question based on a visual experiment shown on screen.
Seniors Teams from each campus were the second ones to take the quiz. The questions were again based on their knowledge level and curriculum they have been learning till date. Each team had 3 members to represent their campus. Four rounds in total were conducted which were again based of on similar lines as for the juniors.
