COLLOQUIUM 2020

‘Change calls for innovation and innovation calls for progress’

Colloquium encapsulates this spirit and gives students a platform to display their yearlong projects as part of their integrated IT curriculum. The Colloquium conference serves as a culmination to these Capstone Projects in the form of a product, project presentation or performance through debates competitions and collaborations.

The students of Grade 10 across the three campuses of Shiv Nadar participated in Colloquium 2020 and showcased their technology projects online. Capstone is a multifaceted long term assignment with an aim to identify and address a social problem. The students extensively work on social, economic or environment issues and come up with solutions, applying technology in real world context. The solution could be social or entrepreneurial in nature.

The students participate in this annual competition, presenting their projects to a jury. The competition follows a two-tier selection process, where student projects are first examined by a sub-jury, followed by a presentation and interaction with an external jury who judge the efficacy and viability of the projects. While 18 projects from Shiv Nadar School, Noida, Faridabad and Gurugram were presented to the sub-jury, seven projects made it to the final jury round.  

The external jury comprised of Mr.Varun Chaudhary, Executive Director, CG Corp Global,  Mr.Ajay Bakaya, Executive Director, Sarovar Hotels & Resorts and Ms.Ramya Venkataraman, Founder & CEO of Centre for Teacher Accreditation(CENTA) 

The program helps students to connect with community issues and integrate outside of school learning experiences. It allows them to think critically and solve challenging problems, develop skills such as research, teamwork, planning, goal setting and project management during the process.

Team Postura from Gurugram School secured the first position and Team Safe from Faridabad school secured Second Position.
