Celebration of International Day of People With Disabilities/ Across the school
The International Day of Persons with Disability is observed annually all across the world on the 3rd of December. Shiv Nadar School, Faridabad, dedicated the 1st to the 5th of December to celebrate International Day of People With Disabilities. We focus on learning more about how not all disabilities are visible, and how we can hear everyone's abilities speak louder than their disabilities. The date for this observance was decided by the United Nations in 1992. Each year, the United Nation. With students and teachers from across the school various activities and talents were conducted based on the plan shared below. Sharing a glipmse. https://youtu.be/aH4J0nwPjH4

Grades 8 to 10 students explored RoboMind which is a simple educational programming environment with its own scripting language that allows students to program a simulated robot. It also aims at offering insights in robotics and artificial intelligence. Students could design and animate simultaneously and pick up the methodology in one go on applications like Construct 3, Tinkercad and Autodesk expression editor.

Colloquium is project based learning challenges aimed to solve a real world problem. The teams apply tech learning to solve these challenges. It not only displays the technology skills gained through different tech baskets offered at School but also harnesses entrepreneurial skills in students. Thus, offers enriching learning experience to students. Our Grade 10 students explored these projects for the first time. One team of Grade 10 came up with the project named "SAFE".
SAFE is a Self-sanitising Automatic Futuristic Effortless bench aiming to solve the sitting problem as it’s the most basic activities which has become a huge hassle and a danger to health due to pandemic. With the rapid increase of diseases to be seen, this bench can also contribute significantly in the future to combat other communicable diseases and create an overall clean environment. It focusses to solve the close contact and sanitising problem especially in the older people and children as they face more significant risk due to their weaker immune system.
